58 year old female with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure
My husband was going to take a shower before retiring for the evening. There was no rubber bath mat nor was there a towel type mat in the bathroom. A set of towels for each of us was provided, with no extra towel. He looked at the bottom of the tub, and there were faint gray ovals on the bottom of the tub. He assumed that this meant that it was a non-slip surface by looking at it, especially since no mat was provided. He turned on the water, and then started to get into the shower. His foot slipped out from under him and he fell heavily to the floor, taking the shower curtain and its rings with him. He fell with such force that the mirror fell from the wall above the sink, broke against the edge of the sink, and then landed on top of him. (The mirror was attached to the wall with only two small flat clips.) Small pieces of the mirror cut his chest, legs, hands, and near his ear. These were all small cuts, nothing major, and I always pack band-aids just to be on the safe side. Luckily he was not badly hurt, especially when you are talking about a 61 year old man falling in the manner that he did.
I called the front desk and told them what had happened. A gentleman came up and tried to clean up the shards from the mirror, but there were small pieces that he was unable to get up with the broom. I called the front desk while he was in the room and asked if we could move to another room since the bathroom floor wasnt safe to walk on without shoes, but I was told that no other room was available that evening. The man who came to help us got us a new shower curtain and brought up some ceiling tiles to put on the floor along with some extra towels. He couldnt find any shower curtain rings, so he brought me some pieces of string for me to use to put the shower curtain up. I had cleaned up the blood with the wash cloth and he told me to just put that in the trash can, which I did.
The next morning I went down to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. I was told that he would not be in until Monday morning. Our phone number was taken down and I was given a card with the hotel information on it. I asked the man at the desk to please let housekeeping know that the floor really needed to be carefully mopped since there were still tiny pieces of mirror on the floor. This was done. No new shower curtain rings were put up; the mirror was not replaced. We were given a towel type bath mat.
On Sunday morning we went to the front desk to check out and were told that a $130 charge for the mirror and a $10 charge for the curtain rings were added to our bill since we broke them. Once again I went through the entire account, and the young woman then removed the charges, but we were told that they might be put back on our bill on Monday. I reiterated that we wanted the manager to call us. Our daughter noticed that the notes that were sitting on the front desk had highlighted the statement that we broke the mirror, not that there was a fall and the mirror fell off the wall and broke on top of my husband..
This entire ordeal has left us extremely disappointed with Best Western Hotels. To begin with, this event never should have occurred. You either provide your guests with a bath mat of some sort, or your tubs have non-slip surfaces. You should also mount your mirrors with a stronger type of anchoring system than what was used. If and when an unfortunate event like this does occur, you do not bill your guests for damages that occurred through no fault of their own. We were upset that this happened to him to begin with, and billing us for the mirror and shower curtain rings made matters a hundred times worse. All that my husband wanted to do was take a shower safely. That certainly is not too much to ask of a hotel.
The manager never called us. He told Best Western to say that he was sorry. He did not put the charges back on the bill. He did not give us any adjustment on the bill.
