Executive Hotel & Conference Centre Burnaby Reviews
Jul 18, 2015
This hotel wasn't even close to be at the executive level, rudeness from the hotel staff and contractors which I did not deserve from the moment I stepped into the hotel, very poor service and unfulfilled expectations. I both attended a high profile conference at your hotel and stayed at your hotel overnight. Both experiences were absolutely garbage, definitely wasn't treated like an "Executive" but more like a rat under a bridge which no one cared about and wasn't treated with an ounce of respect. The rooms were absolutely filthy with cobwebs running up the ceiling from the lamps, very small rooms where you literally had to walk sideways and room keys that wouldn't provide access to the elevators. As soon as I stepped foot into the hotel, I was greeted by their front desk that was extremely rude and had a huge attitude issue. The hotel did not offer any help with our bags (we had many) nor did they even appreciate our stay. They just didn't care. I was called a freaking liar by their Internet staff, High Speed Systems when I called them to report internet issues. The hotel didn't offer any apology on it. Housekeeping even ran over my expensive dress shoes with their equipment and cracked the sole in half.
In regards to the Internet, I have never been as abused and harassed by a customer service rep in my life. I thought this fellow was going to punch me because he just showed extreme aggression towards me and others in regards to this issue, and this was the president of the Internet company. The hotel would not take responsibility on the internet issues, but instead handed us off to the Internet company because they didn't want to deal with it. On the second day, they just ignored us completely and wouldn't respond to our phone calls or messages and left us, in a hotel room and conference without any internet connection. This was an internet marketing conference too so having an internet connection was absolutely required. We were promised an internet connection by the hotel prior to our stay without any issues.
The TV remote didn't even work during our stay we had to adjust the channels manually on the side of the TV and the alarm clock on the bedside table was 15 minutes in advance. None of these issues were fixed.
This hotel offers complimentary massages, which they don't fulfill either. We booked these with the front desk girl who told us they were in the book, but when we arrived they didn't even know about it so only one of us were able to get a massage which by the way was another total joke. I want an immediate and full refund. What a joke of a hotel! DONT STAY HERE!
UPDATE: THIS HOTEL BLACKMAILS PEOPLE TO REMOVE THEIR NEGATIVE REVIEWS FOR A POTENTIAL REFUND. CAUTION!
I WAS ALSO LOCKED IN THE ELEVATOR AT 3 AM, WAS LET OUT BY ANOTHER HOTEL GUEST. NO APOLOGY FROM THE FRONT DESK EITHER.
There is severe blackmailing and false practices by the Executive Hotel and Suites in Burnaby. I had a very bad experience at the hotel and I was promised a refund. The general manager then contacted me and said in order to get the refund I am required to remove the review on TripAdvisor.
As TripAdvisor's guidelines, this is considered fraud:

I suggest you go to TripAdvisor's help centre and search "What is considered fraud?"
You've just made a huge mistake Mr. Gill and Mrs. Farida Sayani, BIG mistake.
