SHV Hotel Issues
This from our SIG on Sep 12:
SHV Update: We have been experiencing various problems with the Clarion and need to change hotels as soon as possible. The hotel options in the city appear to be very limited. For those crews that frequently layover in Shreveport, as well as those crewmembers that live in the vicinity, we would like input as to the other hotel options. Please e-mail the Hotel Committee with your suggestions.
This from our 727 ACP R.T. on Jun 1:
To those who transit SHV and the Clarion Hotel please take a few minutes to read this brief request.
The hotel administrators at FedEx Express are reaching a saturation point and your pilot ops reports (POR) are becoming redundant. Unless you have anything new, please refrain from submitting PORs for SHV for complaints involving:
--condition of rooms
--lack of courtesy shuttle service to anywhere other than to/from SHV airport
--hallway air conditioners/heaters
The reality is we have a contract with the Clarion until March, 2008. The Clarion is not a luxury hotel-we have many hotels fitting that category, as well, such as GFK, ROA, BIL, TLH, and many others. Our business isn’t as lucrative as we would like to think it is, therefore, many area hotels are not interested in accepting our business. The SHV market isn’t as wide open as other cities based upon our needs. The Clarion is very close to having trained drivers available to begin courtesy shuttle service within a 2 mile radius of the hotel, according to the Director of Sales. Room renovation is ongoing. It is also conveniently located near numerous restaurants and 15 minutes to the airport. I have stayed at this property many times and find it to be at least adequate. Our hotel administrators have visited this property and came to the same conclusion.
If your room is unsafe, uncomfortable, or unacceptable please work with the hotel staff in a professional, courteous manner to resolve your issues.
I'm glad at least our SIG is paying attention. R.T. doesn't want to be bothered anymore with those reports because he finds it adequate.
