AI Guest Messaging and Hotel Chatbots

Guests ask about check-in, parking, breakfast, accessibility, directions, late arrival, and local services. A messaging assistant can retrieve approved details and help staff handle repeat questions, but it should not invent a hotel policy or claim that a requested change has been completed. Distinguish general information from account-specific actions such as modifying a reservation or authorizing a charge. Build an approved source set with an owner and effective date. Room amenities, restaurant hours, fees, and accessibility details can change by date or property. The assistant should show its basis where useful and say when it cannot verify an answer. A polished sentence is not confirmation that a booking system accepted the change. Require the relevant authorization before altering a reservation, sharing personal details, or promising a service. Plan for escalation. A guest may report a safety concern, medical need, lost property, billing dispute, or inaccessible room. Route these cases to a named team, retain necessary context, and make the handoff visible. Test the experience in languages guests actually use, including translation errors in names, dates, room numbers, and negation. Offer an accessible non-chat route and let guests ask for a person without repeating the whole conversation. Requests involving room changes, charges, or safety issues should state whether action is pending, complete, or declined. Measure successful resolution, repeat contacts, wait time, and staff corrections rather than counting messages alone.
