Hoteliers often mention that the customer support for ALICE Guest Messaging by Actabl is accessible through multiple channels such as email, allowing communication with the support team when issues arise. However, response times are sometimes not as quick as necessary, particularly for major assistance or urgent matters. There is a recognition of the expertise and knowledge of support staff, yet an expressed desire for improvements in real-time support responsiveness especially during critical times when immediate action is required. The resources like FAQs and tutorials which could aid users often face critique for not being as comprehensive or helpful as they might need.

Hoteliers often note that while Alice integrates with a range of systems like PMS and Opera, the reliability and consistency of these integrations can be lacking. The software sometimes experiences delays or syncing issues, particularly with important features like out-of-service room updates and broadcasting messages. These problems can lead to inefficiencies, especially on busy days. Users have expressed a desire for more seamless integration, allowing for accurate and timely data exchanges. Some suggest improvements such as the ability to sort guests by groups or enhanced syncing with their PMS, which would optimize operations and guest communications.

Overall, ALICE is seen as a valuable tool that streamlines operations, saves time, and ultimately improves guest satisfaction.

Hoteliers often find the user interface of ALICE Guest Messaging intuitive and user-friendly. They appreciate the ease of navigation, describing the system as straightforward with accessible menus that streamline their operations. The visual design receives positive feedback for being simple and clean, although suggestions have been made for a more modern look. Responsiveness is generally satisfactory, but there appear to be some lagging issues, particularly on mobile devices. Users benefit from the system's clarity in presenting information, aiding in efficient guest communication and task management. However, there is a desire for enhanced customizability, allowing for better personalization of the interface to meet specific operational needs. Hoteliers would also like improved mobile compatibility to enhance workflow efficiency on the go. Overall, the interface is noted for its usability, with most finding it easy to learn and operate without extensive training, though a few improvements in customizability and mobile responsiveness could enhance the overall user experience.

Actabl Case Studies
References
"Offering guests the ability to text and use the app to place requests makes a lot of sense. We’re on our phones all the time anyway. It’s a lot easier than calling the front desk and potentially being placed on hold, and you can also place requests off-site."
"Our guests love texting us. A lot of modern day travelers expect more tech-savvy ways to communicate versus the standard picking up the phone or speaking face-to-face. Everybody has very busy lives but with ALICE Guest Messaging, it’s been quicker and more seamless to communicate with guests in terms of sending real-time information and even responding to requests."
"It's a way of adapting to the rapid changes in technology without compromising our standards for excellent, yet personable, customer service. We've used it for recommendations, confirming dinner reservations, coordinating plans, etc. It speeds up the communication time quite a bit, as guests are unlikely to answer a call from an unknown number, but will text us back almost immediately."
"The ability to load our checklists into the system and attach pictures of work done has allowed us to have transparency and accountability in our preventative maintenance program and enabled our chief engineer to track the quality of maintenance work even when he is busy assisting with other major projects that we have at the hotel.<br /><br />"
"Maintaining the hotel is everyone’s responsibility. ALICE has improved the communication of how my front desk and housekeeping staff are informing my engineers of any problems and issues that need to be attended to. It’s an amazing tool.<br /><br />"
