    Rude Customer Service When Trying to Book Rooms

    I called the Riu Fisherman’s Wharf this afternoon to inquire about booking rooms for my family—me, my wife, and our three children (ages 13, 9, and 3). I wasn’t sure about their policy on five guests in a room, so I called to clarify. I was told they don’t allow five in one room, which, while not ideal, I completely understand. Since we’d need two rooms, I asked if they could be connecting. The agent told me that connecting rooms are based on manager approval and availability. I explained that’s exactly why I was calling—to check on that availability before booking. At that point, the agent said “too bad” and hung up on me. I was shocked by how rude and dismissive the interaction was. I expect basic courtesy when speaking with customer service—especially when I’m trying to book directly with the hotel.
