HOUSEKEEPING: YOUR ATTITUDE IS SHOWING PART 2



First impressions count in hotel business. 
 I cannot imagine any hotel not making any effort to create a good first impression.
Yet quite a number of hotels in Ghana seem to give their guests reasons to nitpick and complain about their rooms as you will see in the following pictures.

Careless hanging of window curtain

Where is the sense of security when a guest enters this room?

A dead cockroach on a well laid bed

A bed laid with one bed sheet

Inappropriate clothes hangers

Molds developing in wardrobe drawer which also holds loose fittings

An empty refrigerator in guestroom

 Toilet roll 'stuffing' for a leaking A/C

A broken tile in the shower cubicle

Molds around shower tray

T-roll placed on the cistern. A blue lit bathroom

Untidy finish of plumbing works


Making a good first impression on guests and sustaining it begins with the hotels' leadership.
Hotel leadership betrays itself and unfortunately, housekeeping operational personnel often bear the brunt.
