Why Consistency Is Important for Hotel’s Success
Consistency is critical factor for hotel’s success. Providing good service to a select few guests or being excellent once in a while may not help your hotel reach the heights of glory that you want to see it reach.
In order to develop guest loyalty and get repeat business, make sure your interactions with the guests are quality based and consistent. Service quality and superior guest satisfaction can help your hotel edge past the competitors even if the competitor hotel has bigger budget and better amenities.
Make superior guest service the hallmark of your hotel so that the guest would want to return to your hotel again and again, or refer others to your property. Imagine how would a guest feel when they had a remarkable experience at your hotel, then they came back again along with a few friends but this time they did not get the same kind of service or attention.
Not only will they feel bad, they may also feel humiliated in front of the other people whom they brought along with them. They must have praised your hotel before these friends, now they will feel let down. They may feel weary of referring other people to your place in the future.
They themselves may be in two minds of returning to your hotel because they won’t know what to expect this time around. Therefore maintaining the same levels of guest service and experience is critical if you want long term business from the people.
People want predictable results. Most people hate uncertainty and confusion. They may not prefer to visit a place where they are not sure of what to expect. In comparison, consider another whose service is not of high quality but it remains basically the same every time. In such a case, at least the guests will know what level of service to expect and can prepare themselves for the same.
