Abstract

Customers’ satisfaction and return intention have long been recognized as necessary in the hospitality industry. It is, undoubtedly, the service quality that attracts, pulls, or churns the customer. Thence, the hotel primarily stressed the overall aspect of their services. This study aims to assess the customers’ perception of the service quality of budget hotels in Bangkok. The online questionnaires were distributed on social media to those who experienced their stay in budget hotels. There were 440 samples returned from 220 Thai customers and 220 Indonesian customers. It found that three primary factors positively satisfy the customers: resource quality, infrastructure as tangibility, empathy, and responsiveness services. The t-test found no difference between Thai and Indonesian guests regarding satisfaction and purchase intention. On that account, the hotels should maintain their facilities neat. Concurrently, the frontline employees who interact with the customers should retain their high service performance. Addedly, the hotels could deliberately blend the service marketing mix in strategic planning.
