Mr Mark and his wife first went into a unclean room after registration in ATMI hotel. After asking for change the room, the second room was  even more worse than the first one. Untill the third room, the enviroment seemed to grudgingly reside. By this token, the hotel hygienic enviroment was not good. Moreover, this phenomenon expressed a lack of communication between housekeeping and the front desk.  On the one hand, unclean room should be provided by hotel. The frond desk should not know the room situation and the housekeeping also did not informed the frond desk. On the other hand, the front desk aslo should check in the room situation with the housekeeping.  The second issue is the attitude of hotel staff on customer. When Mark Hankins couple came into the hotel room, they found the room was not clean. So they asked for changing the room, the second room was not good, and then they called the switchboard, but the manager and staff of hotel did not deal well with instandly. For the long time, the room just was changed again.#p#分页标题#e#

For customers—a  tired couple, the hotel staff and management’ attitude was haughty and it showed that they are lacking in responsibility. Moreover,  Mr. Hankins called the switchboard for the third room, he only want a room, not a night manager. But the stall still did. When the customer talked with receptionist for the change room fee, the receptionist always avoiding the contace of eyes. For guests, the action was considered as unpolite action. Although, they kept the “hospitality promise” where their room was free of charge in the end,  the poor impression of hotel seemed to be left . The third issue, is the hotel management. According the whole accident, the hotel management existed the problem, such as hotel staff management, customer service, and so on.  These problems should be paid attention to by Mr. Metz, or else the hotel will face the serious development problems.

According to an executive advisor and customer-service expert viewpoint, Rebecca Morgan who wrote the book Calming Upset Customers. “ think that“ the customer complaint does not underestimate and  they wreak havoc in your organization because upset everybody and, with these tools of Twitter and Facebook and Yelp, they can get the word out quickly.” （Insider，2012) According to the letter, personally the problems are some parts of the background noise of running a complex service operation such as the hotel in this case. Staff service is a part of the whole hotel management. In the letter, most evidences were shown on service. The customer service is a part of the background noise of running a complex hotel service operation.在信中，马克先生列举了很多细节，他们遇到了。即使他可能会夸大一些部分经验，但它仍是投诉信和酒店的问题仍然存在。根据执行顾问和客户服务专家的观点，丽贝卡摩根的人写的书安抚消费者感到不安。“认为”顾客投诉并没有低估他们肆虐你的组织因为扰乱人心，用这些工具的推特和脸谱网和Yelp，他们可以用了快。”（内幕，2012）据信，个人的问题是运行一个复杂的业务操作等在这种情况下，酒店的背景噪声的部分。员工服务是整个酒店管理的一部分。在信中，大多数的证据显示在服务。客户服务是运行一个复杂的酒店服务运营背景噪音的一部分。
