Larger corporate hotels sometimes make their way onto a company’s preferred vendor list because they continually provide exemplary service. Sometimes hotels stay on that list despite unhappy employee experiences because the employee doesn’t report it or because the company doesn’t take that feedback and action it. If employee feedback starts to indicate many problems, many companies revisit their list of preferred corporate hotels so that they can find better options. Employees who must travel for business need to be as comfortable as possible for productivity and morale reasons. Be sure to regularly solicit feedback from your travelling team members about their corporate hotel experiences. Some hotels that are on preferred vendor lists stay there for good reasons. Hotels and motels as well as resorts that consistently get great reviews often have similar attributes, including: 1. Clean rooms 2. Comfortable beds 3. Courteous concierge and front desk service 4. Useful value added services (Wi-Fi, office services, dry cleaning, etc.)` 5. Good proximity to local amenities 6. Good value for the money 7. Business services, such as meeting facilities, office equipment availability, and so forth. Not all companies exclusively use corporate hotel contracts with chains. There are some boutique hotels and B&B’s that can also be very suitable for corporate accommodation options. Read Hotel Reviews Whether you are an employee or self-employed individual or you are someone booking travel arrangements for your company it’s prudent to regularly read travel reviews of hotels in areas where you or your employees must travel for business. It’s also wise to add your own reviews so that you can help reward companies who do well as well as share unhappy experiences, too, helping the ‘cream’ of the corporate hotel industry rise to the top of the rankings. Some hotels offer discounted rates across the board and others have plans for companies, making it easier to manage corporate travel. Obtain and Listen to Employee Feedback If your company does book travel and uses the same corporate hotels on an ongoing basis it is wise to solicit feedback from your employees. Beyond choosing a hotel based on costs or convenience, be sure your staff are happy with your choice. Whilst you may need to choose specific types of hotels for geographical or budgetary reasons it’s wise to listen to your employees. They may have feedback that helps you book the right corporate accommodation and /or that you can leverage to provide feedback to a hotel in order to ensure their service offerings meet your ongoing needs.
