Case Study
Hotel Paloma Blanca's AI receptionist now handles inbound calls around the clock, sorting the real guest requests from the wrong numbers and hang-ups before they ever reach a human.
The problem
Like most boutique hotels, Paloma Blanca's front desk is covered by whoever's on shift, not a dedicated phone team. In July, 4 in every 10 calls came outside a single day-shift: nights, weekends, lunch breaks. Every one of those either interrupted someone off the floor or rang out.
The solution
Every inbound call is answered immediately, day or night. Wrong numbers and dead-air callers get handled and closed out on the spot. No one on the team ever sees them. Real requests get the caller's name, number, and exactly what they need, logged and passed straight to reception. Nothing rings out, and nothing lands on a human's desk unless it actually needs one.
The results
