(A form of communication could be an email, a text, a memo, a letter, an online post, a meeting, a conversation, or any other form of communication you see fit.)

Pretend you are a manager who needs to respond to the scenario below.

Communication Response: Pretending you are the manager preparing a form of communication in this scenario, write your response, such as an email, text, letter, memo, or a script of what you would say in a face-to-face meeting. You can choose more than one form of communication for your response, but each response should not exceed 250 words and may be shorter depending on the strategy you choose. This is the actual communication you would create in response to the situation.

The challenge is to communicate what you believe is the best approach for the situation, using your own judgement, critical thinking skills, and the management communications strategies and skills you have learned.

Plan Ahead: In the next question (Question 2), you will write a separate rationale explaining why you chose the form(s) of communication you chose.

For this question (Question 1), refer to the instructions noted above under the heading of "Communication Response".

SCENARIO:

You are the manager of a hotel in ______ (you can choose the location/country and any relevant details about the hotel as you see fit). While you do market in print forms such as travel brochures at travel agencies, much of your business relies on reviews from on online forums such as TripAdvisor.com and Expedia.com.

Since you are a busy manager, you rely on your staff to respond to both positive and negative reviews online. Once a week, you review the responses they have written that have already been published online. You come across the following review written by WorldTraveller123, followed by the response written by your staff member, Jordan.

Original Review from WorldTraveller123:

This hotel looks far better in the photographs than it does in real life. The pictures showed flowers blooming and the outdoor pool looked refreshing and bright blue, but when we arrived the place was covered in snow and the pool was closed. Our five kids were really disappointed. We arrived late at 2 a.m. and it took several minutes for staff to greet us, and when they did, they seemed unprofessional. The young womans ponytail was a mess and she was not nearly as pretty as the girl in the brochure and website. When we gave her our last name she said there was no reservation for us even though I swear my sister-in-law said she booked it and knowing her she would have used my last name rather than my wifes, and she wouldve spelled it out correctly. We were shown to our room and there were two beds in the room liked wed booked. It was clean enough. However, you didnt even bother to have set up the roll-out childrens cot we had called and left a message about 5 minutes before we arrived. When we were getting unpacked and the kids were playing tag in the hall (because they had to run off some energy after being in a car all day, and your pool wasnt open as wed hoped) a rude hotel guest knocked on our door, saying to be quiet, and we could also hear a dog start to bark on the floor below us. Your hotel staff then interrupted our unpacking to call us and remind us it was quiet hours. We were so stressed out from it all that we couldnt sleep. Your beds must be really bad. In the morning, I sent my two youngest children down to the kitchen area for the free continental breakfast that your hotel had advertised, but my children were told they couldnt bring back the full tray of muffins to the room from the breakfast room because it was also there for the other guests. This is unethical marketing because your advertisements promised complimentary breakfast! We were so mad that we told the girl who was cleaning the tables in the breakfast room that we wanted a free nights stay for all our inconvenience and our unpleasant stay. But she didnt do anything about it, and just said something and walked away. We deserve a full refund immediately. To anyone thinking of staying at this hotel, NEVER STAY HERE!!

Below the review from WorldTravller123, you see the published response from your staff member, Jordan:

Were sorry you did not like our Hotel and may be if you were not such a difficult customer you wouldve got better service. Thank you so much for your review, Jordan.
