From Tripadvisor
• It's getting old, the rooms are unappealing and it will never be more than a business hotel
• Being a Sofitel hotel we expected something quite 'flashy' unfortunately we were let down. The rooms, although comfortable and clean, were not of the standard we expected and were definately not what we expected after looking at the photos on the hotel's website.
• Booking my stay via the Sofitel website after a pleasant experience at several other Sofitel locations over the past 2 years with my new job I was looking forward to a 5 star luxury stay after a stressful business trip. My expectations were reasonable, however certainly not met by this hotel.

Things to Rememberabout Social Media
ENERGISE2-0.COM
The Essence of Social Media
• It’s social– A key feature is online democracy – with content being provided
by the network for the network – represents a fundamental and revolutionary change in online behaviour, expectations and the online customer experience. The end of the ‘read only’ internet
• Power shift– Social media empowers customers, empowers the network.
Recognizing this shift is the cornerstone of future success
• Declining effectiveness of traditional approaches – Does anyone listen to sales/brand messages anymore?

The Essence of Social Media
• Pull v push– Consumers/users decide what information they wish to access
• New ‘mindsets’ are required– Marketing as a conversation with your customers, a
conversation with your network – dialogue not broadcasting– But this is something that most of us are not very good at doing– We prefer ‘telling’ people
• SM ‘winners’ and ‘losers’– ‘Winners’ will be those organisations who fully utilise the
interactive power of Web 2.0 technology for engaging with and energising customer and network relationships
