- Service Recovery: Customers complain that when they arrive in the hotel, the heat system takes very long time to reach to the desirable temperature during winter. The hotel located on bear mountain therefore the temperature is lower than other areas and the heat system requires longer time to heat up in the freezing environment. Therefore, our stuffs turn on the heat before customers arrive the cabin and ensure that the customers satisfy with it.
