If the Engineering section cannot immediately attend to the service request the
Requesting supervisor should be informed immediately so that he could take
appropriate action. If the defect is somewhat serious, the best action is to transfer
the guest to another room. One can say, “Sir, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, if you
like to transfer to another room, we have available rooms which is better than this
room. . . . I will refer you to the Front Desk for the room you would like transfer. . . .
And if the defect is minor, the guest is advised to wait. One can say:
“Sir, we have forwarded a request for repair to our Engineering
Office. Right now they are still attending to an urgent maintenance order and then
they will attend to your room in a short while. Thank for bearing with us.”
The Front Desk then will call bell service to assign a bellboy who
will assist the guest in the room transfer and give him a copy of the room change
form together with the key to the new room.
If the choice room is vacant dirty the Front Office will inform the
Housekeeping Department for them to schedule immediate room make up.
