  • objection: Will guests get stuck with an AI?
    response: Hotels can define requests for live transfer, structured handover or human follow-up.
  • objection: How can we justify the cost?
    response: Measure recovered bookings and front desk call volume in a property pilot, then compare with the quoted cost.
