Except for an occasional disturbance, petty theft in the hotel room, disorderly conduct in the bar or restaurant, there have been very few instances of criminal behavior. The hotel has an underground parking garage, which is open 24 hours. Although it is part of the hotel property, it is managed by a 24 hour security company. The Hotel requires that it be staffed round the clock and that security cameras and lights be placed in appropriate areas of the garage to maintain constant surveillance. These requirements are specified by contract between the parties. There has been only one attack on a patron of the garage in the last five years.

On September 2, 2005, a female guest is attacked at knifepoint at 7:30 p.m. in the evening in the hotel garage. The attacker is never apprehended.

...behind the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is to have the guests act as quality-assurance inspectors by identifying quality deficiencies and reporting them to hotel employees. I do think that this is a good way to improve service quality; however, I am not sure that it is the best way. While it may seem to consumers that employees will try harder to satisfy them, if employees are empowered to refund a customer’s money, they do not have to answer to management, they can just do it. 2. The implications of the 100% Guarantee for (a) guests, (b) managers, (c) owners of the hotel buildings and (d) Promus are: a) Guests – that no matter what happens, even if the hotel really did nothing wrong, they can get their money back. b) Managers – that they have very little to no control over their property or employees. It seems like many important decisions have been taken away from managers, and they can not react in the best interest for the hotel chain because what’s in the customer’s best interest is usually not the same as the company’s best interest. c) Owners of the Hotel Buildings – that they need to keep their facilities in tip top condition or else customers will be dissatisfied with their experience and demand their money back. d) Promus – that this is a program that can enhance the quality of their hotel system. 3. I think that since certain events are “uncontrollable” it would be more realistic to exclude them from the guarantee, but it seems like people...

...efficiencies throughout the hotel. This multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, known as integrated design, addresses the building as a whole rather than treating each element separately. For example, at the Proximity Hotel, the practice of integrated design reduced air-conditioning needs by 35 percent, which in turn has cut total energy demand at the project by 11 percent. Approximately 100 solar panels cover the 4,000 square feet (372 sq m) of rooftop, providing 60 percent of the hotel’s and restaurant’s hot water needs. Water is cycled through the solar panels and heated, then stored in tanks, enabling, for example, a guest to shower with hot water heated by the sun on the previous day. Reducing water use is perhaps the biggest challenge facing the hotel and lodging industry. The Proximity Hotel uses low-flow shower heads (2.0 gallons [7.6 liters] per minute versus the standard of 2.5 gallons [9.5 liters]), low-flush toilets (1.28 gallons [4.84 liters] per flush), and low-flow sink faucets. The developer contacted the CEO of Kohler directly when considering the use of low-flush toilets, ultimately selecting a toilet that utilizes less water per flush but has additional water stored in the tank, using simple gravity to increase the pressure of the flush to increase its effectiveness. According to the developer, the implementation of water conservation measures has reduced demand by over 30 percent compared to water usage at other luxury hotels, and the Proximity has saved...

...The Portman Hotel Company Problem Statement The problem identified in the case is that The Portman Company is facing the issue of high turnover among the Personal Valet which is almost 50%. The morale of PV’s has gone down because their expectations were not met and they were angry. Along with this, increasing complaints by the guests’ have also been a major concern for the management. The increasing cost was also a concern which threatened to raise the level of overhead for the company considerably. Data analysis The problem identified in the case is basically the high turnover among employees or the Personal Valet who consider that the structure of the hotel is too much de-centralized. They have to wait for many days before they can actually discuss their problems with the supervisor. As one of the Persona Valet stated “The supervisors are very less in number and we have to make decisions ourselves in chaos and hurry. We keep trying to find a supervisor who is not available to solve our problems.” After the first interview none of the PV’s met Scott. In fact everything was too much de-centralized and based on personal understanding and decisions, which actually accounted for all the conflicts and chaos. Secondly, the management assumed that the amount of tip for each Personal Valet would be around $200 per week; however it turned out to be $40 for every PV. This was quite demotivating for them because initially they were pretty sure and confident about getting tips in excess...
