CONCLUSION

The guest’s perception and over all attitude of “Quality of Service” Criteria at the Holiday Inn Hurghada is unfavorable.

The majority of the Criteria (Speed of Service – Efficiency – Smiling – Attentiveness – Hospitable “feel welcome”), stands in the lower 25% of excellence.

Tactfulness stands at extreme between at 0 (or worst). While Friendliness is at the lower 30% and Use of guest Name is at lower 5% of excellence.

It is evident, (for some reason) that the “Use of guest Name” Criteria was emphasized with the hotel staff, more than any other Criteria, specially the Tactfulness.

The study’s final hypothesis, reflect inconsistency in the Quality Service Criteria (performed by the staff). In other words some team members are delivering / satisfying the Market, “QS” expectation, but the majority are not. Consequently, the overall image is infected.
