A catch phrase will go here soon.

Update: Hudson Hotel responds.

5/18/2006

The VP of Marketing left me a message yesterday after he found my post while “reading some blogs.” He said he wants to make up for my horrible experience, and when I checked out today the hotel had charged me for only three of my five nights. That seems about right to me since it took them two days to fix the broken window in my room, a fiasco that resulted in a noisy and cold stay. The thermostat for the heaters in the hotel room don’t actually work I as told by maintenance because the heating system doesn’t turn on unless it’s under 50 degrees out–it was 54/56 degrees this week. So, just cold enough to give me the head cold I now I have.

Anyway, I give them credit for reading blogs and for checking the last name on my blog against the registry at the Hudson Hotel. If you can get that right shouldn’t you be able to fix a broken window and a heating system?

Someone should start a blog about customer service fiascos…. oh wait!

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
