Parking at the Grand Hyatt

From Suara Pembaruan

On June 13, 1994 I attended a seminar at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Jakarta. I was very careful to drive my car so as not to cause any damage. The parking attendant gave me parking card No. 711114.

I had no problem during the seminar, except for the fact that many participants felt too cold in the room.

After the seminar ended and as I was leaving, the committee gave me a "complimentary parking ticket" with No 090666. I was delighted as all went well and there was nothing to worry about.

But at the parking gate, a problem arose that made my face red with shame. The complimentary parking ticket indicating that parking was free for the seminar participants was not valid. I had to pay for the parking.

I tried to explain the matter but they failed to understand my explanation. I did not want to give a lengthy argument as I had a guest in my car. In the evening I tried to ask for an explanation from the "banquet" section, but they too gave an illogical answer.

I would like to warn everyone to be careful when parking at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
