On vacation in Florida stayed 3 nights in Estero (Best customer service there, very impressed! Jason in particular.) I and two in Crystal River, both places have been recently "RENOVATED" by which I take it to mean that you have replaced the decent mattresses that you have always provided with medieval torture devices. If I have slept 3 hours a night It was a long sleep. The mattresses are AWFUL. NO CUSHIONING AT ALL on the top. Every single coil is projecting itself into your body all night long.
I have been staying in Hampton Inn for years and years, BECAUSE 90% of them are good quality places to stay... this trip have been a nightmare... No, actually... that would mean I had slept. I am now a sleepless zombie. And driving on Florida roads with no sleep is a recipe for disaster! Seriously, y'all dropped the ball on this. Tomorrow I am going to a Marriott so I can ** sleep. I am getting a Marriott card, and not looking back. You forfeited your patron's comfort for your pockets on this on and it's obvious.

I never actually spent a night at Hampton Inn Sacramento, CA but I was there so often with clients for workshops and seminars that I had firsthand accounts of the good and very seldom any bad. I knew the clients, because many were the same over and over so they certainly weren't shy in telling the truth. In general each and everyone loved it, from check in, cocktail time where they served appetizers so good and filling that you didn't have to go out for dinner and it was free. Breakfast was included too and it wasn't a simple continental stale pastry, boxed cereal type of breakfast either. I know because when we had our meetings, we arrived early to eat breakfast with our clients at no charge either.
We also had a special rate for all this because we had meetings there at least 4 times a month, if not more. Sometimes we had two running simultaneously. The people that worked there couldn't do enough to take care of everything we or our clients needed, they even provided bowls of candy and I am not talking wrapped hard candies, try candy bars, all kinds. It is a nice place to stay. The rooms are very nice and cozy too!

I am the mother of a US sailor who was traveling from Florida to home in Indiana for Christmas. He found himself unable to continue on his trip until morning. I called the Hampton Inn and tried to book a room for him, the woman said that she could not do so because he would to have the credit card with him. I said, "I would like to pay for his room." And she said the only way for me to do so is to fax or email permission that he use the card. She then suggested that I pay for it online, which I did however when he got there, she would not use the card on file.
This is absolutely ridiculous!!!! He is a 24 year old man that can serve our country, go to war, make life altering decisions yet a verbal authorization for me to pay for his room wouldn't fly. I know this woman was stuck working on Christmas eve and for that, I am sorry, however, this is a young man who serves, and his parents wanted to pay for his room. Yes, we can reimburse him, however that is not the point. What if he didn't have the money on him? I am extremely disappointed in the Hampton Inn. I will not be utilizing your facilities in the future nor will my family. Extremely disappointed.

I went online and made reservations with, what I thought was the Hampton Inn, Germantown, TN website to visit my brother the nights of the 29th and 30th of Dec, 2017. He has developed a medical problem, so I tried to cancel the reservation, and found that reservation was really made with a "getaroom.com" for the amount of $567.62, charged in advance, and had a second page that said non-refundable in small print. Both getaroom.com and Hampton Inn, Germantown, TN basically said, "Too bad, no refund". Getaroom.com made their site to make you believe you were on the Hampton Inn site. This is such a SCAM, and both parties are guilty. Watch out making or staying with Hampton Inns and using a getaroom.com.

We have stayed at many Hampton Inn's, when we checked into the Downtown Bradenton, FL Hampton Inn, we went to our room which had a balcony, however the balcony door would not lock. We notified the front desk, and the chief Engineer came up to our room, and indicated we should not be concerned. We requested a balcony but we were not happy that the door could not be locked, they then gave us a different room on the 6th floor, this door could not be secured. The Engineer as well as the hotel General Manager seemed to think we were being overly concerned that these doors could not be secured. When we leave our home we lock the door. We finally got a room on the 4th floor, and these doors were able to be secured.

My husband & I checked into the Hampton Inn in Lufkin, Texas pond October 14, 2017. The young man who checked us in was helpful, courteous, friendly. The entrance and common areas have the impression of a clean & well-maintained motel. Once we were in our room, the positive impression vanished. The first thing that stood out was the mirrored sliding closet door. The mirror was shattered. I then noticed the lipstick kiss on another mirror. The toilet seat was loose, the door to the bathroom wouldn't shut unless brute force was used, the bathroom sink did not drain and the shower faucet was loose. The only reason we did not complain at the time of check in was because we were only staying one night & planned to spend little time in the room.
At 9:30 in the evening, I was awakened by very loud & raucous behavior in the common area directly below us. Our room on the second floor actually overlooked the area due to the courtyard style design of the building. I looked out & saw perhaps as many as thirty people in the common area drinking, laughing and being extremely noisy. I did not complain immediately.
After 2 hrs of this very loud behavior, I had had enough & I called the front desk. The clerk on duty was "Heather". I complained about the noise & asked her to ask the people to stop. She said she would "try her best", but they were having a wedding celebration & probably wouldn't last much longer. I told her I would wait 30 min & if no response, I would be calling the police. Heather called our room about 5 minutes later & spoke to my husband. She said the people were "friendly" & they would only be there about 10 more minutes. My husband told here that we were trying to sleep & their "friendliness" was not the issue.
The loud party continued unabated. A few minutes before midnight, I called the Lufkin Police Dept & made a report. The police responded quickly, the party dispersed & we were finally able to get some rest. When we checked out this morning, the clerk on duty expressed no regret for the horrendous evening we had endured at the Hampton Inn. Needless to say, we will NEVER stay at a Hampton Inn again.

Hampton Inn located on Hamton Blvd. near the Norfolk Naval Base is the dirtiest/filthiest hotel that I've ever stayed at and I'm a senior citizen.

On the first night of our stay, the room was not vacuumed, bathroom floor was filthy, hallways were nasty, none of the trashcans were emptied. It was the nastiest hotel. Requested extra pillow in the morning. In the afternoon, went to the lobby to request the pillow again and the desk clerk was rude and said there were no pillows available. What hotel runs out of pillows early in the morning??? Rude staff, major cleanliness problem, bathtub would not drain. I felt like I needed to be paid for staying in such a filthy environment.

I made a hotel reservation for Hampton Inn, Palatka, FL through Booking.com. The area was recently hit by a hurricane. I was not going to send my employee to the area without verifying they had a place to sleep. I made the reservation the day before. The employee drove 4 hours, worked all day and had no place to sleep. The Hampton Inn claimed they did not receive the reservation. The employee had a copy of the confirmation with them. The Hampton Inn stated they had no obligation to honor the reservation because we did not book with them directly. Since we used a third party, it was not their responsibility that they did not receive it and therefore they had no obligation to honor it. There were no vacancies in the entire city and my employee was offered to sleep in the lobby for free. Completely unacceptable. They should not be allowed to use a third party booking agency if they are not going to honor the reservations.

Woodland, California: Hampton Inn and Suites. Monday, August 21, 2017: We went to breakfast, made a few trips up and down the elevator for extra coffee and to get a paper. Our children arrived and we separated out all of the things that they needed to put in their car from our room and they made several trips up and down the elevator. The floor was dry on every trip. The four of us enjoyed watching the eclipse from our room. It ended at 10:30 a.m. For the most part it was an especially pleasant time to visit and enjoy each other's company. We had scheduled the shuttle to the airport for 11 AM to take my husband and me to the airport. Alaska had sent an e-mail alert to allow extra time for traffic delays because of heavy flight activity after the eclipse. We left the room, about 10:35 AM, pulling our wheeled luggage to the single elevator in the hotel. The handle of my luggage was in my left hand. Another man was on the elevator already.
Unknown to us at the time, he was standing in front of the Wet Floor sign. I never saw it. I took one step into the elevator and flew into the air. My right wrist and arm and my right hip took the brunt of the fall. The floor was wet with cleaning solution that soaked through my clothing to the skin. I had great difficulty getting to my feet. I recall the Wet Floor sign being in my way and pushing it aside as I tried to move to get into position to regain a standing position. I could not use my right hand or arm, my right hip was throbbing and my left hand and arm could not get a grip because of the slippery floor. When I moved my feet trying to gain some kind of purchase they slipped right away from me. It took quite a while for me to stand and I realized that my right leg and hip were very painful and would not support my weight.
The gentleman informed our children that I would not have been able to see the sign because he was standing in front of it. He also said that when he arrived at the elevator, the janitor was still swishing the elevator floor with a soapy mop. He stated he had trouble negotiating the wet floor when he got on. I did not see the sign in the elevator until I was already on the floor. There was not one in front of the elevator which was open upon our arrival. My family held me up right on the way down to the main floor and lobby until I got myself into a chair. I was taken by ambulance to Woodland Healthcare Emergency Room for x-rays and treatment.
Management was unavailable. I was never offered an Accident Incident Report Form to complete. I have requested the form by e-mail and phone several times and received no response. Hilton Corp. responded to my request to report the incident by transferring my call to someone who was away from his office "on business." I asked for him to return my call. He has not. (By the way, I reported to the desk a wet tile floor with no signage the day before. As I left the Business Room after printing our airline boarding passes, I slipped and nearly fell on Sunday, August 20, 2017. No incident report or response was offered. Most people would not have stayed upright on that event. I did.)
I am 81 years old, my elderly and fragile husband relies on me for everything. Until my fall, I worked out on strength building, flexibility and exercise almost daily for 1-2 hours daily, in classes and at a Fitness Center. I had been walking at least once a week on a 6+ miles trek... 3 miles up a steep grade and 3 miles down. Or I did 1 hour or 1 1/2 hour on the Treadmill at 7% grade once a week. My average speed is 3.5-4 mph. When I do not go to the gym, I workout at home to rigorous 45 minute aerobic DVD's.
My personal fitness activity can be documented for the most part. I feel very strongly about my responsibility to take the best care of myself in order to not burden others and to be available to help my family and friends carry on a happy and meaningful life. It isn't just me that has loss from a painful and unnecessary fall and injuries. In my opinion, Hilton should be knocking on my door asking what they can do to make sure that their negligence should not occur to anyone else.

Stayed at the Hampton Inn because we had a mandatory evacuation during Hurricane Harvey on August 29 and 30th. They charged us daily on our PayPal card.

My family and I were staying at Hampton Inn and suites, Sherman oaks, ca, while on vacation. As we were enjoying our free breakfast each morning, we noticed random people coming in from the outside through the front doors to come load up their numerous plates with the breakfast and then leave the hotel property. We totally felt unsafe about this, the elevators to guest rooms are right there in lobby as someone can follow a child or adult up to their rooms. There is also an ATM right there & someone can watch a guest withdraw money & follow them.
There was one security guard who goes inside & outside but is oblivious as he says hello to people leaving hotel property with numerous plates of breakfast for guests. The front desk & employees are pretty oblivious also.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Seattle after coming off an Alaskan cruise. We wanted to relax and spend some time by the pool. Upon check-in it was discovered the hotel is under major renovation. There was no carpet on the hallway floors and the rooms on either side of us were being worked on. All the workers were wearing masks to prevent them from breathing in the fumes from the paint, glue, drywall, etc. I went to the desk immediately after checking in and was told they work until 5 and all floors were under renovation so it wouldn't matter where in the hotel I was located. I asked about the pool and I was advised it was not open at this time as it too was under renovation. I did request to speak to a manager at that time and was told someone would call my room. I never heard from anyone. Upon checking out I requested to speak to a manager but it was very early and the manager was not in yet.
I did call later that day and spoke to a manager and was told they would process a refund and it should show up on my credit card in 5 - 7 business days. When it never showed up I called back and was told I had to call the Advanced Purchase department since that's how I made my reservation. I called there and they did a conference call with Esther at the hotel I stayed at and went over the procedure to process the refund. I still have not received the credit on my credit card. I called the local hotel again today and was told by the manager David ** I would need to contact another area and they can process my refund. I called 1-888-240-6152 and spoke to a Laneta. She advised me since they didn't process the payment they cannot process the refund back to my credit card. She indicated she would contact the local hotel and confirm it has not been processed yet (she said there were no notes a refund was in progress) and she would issue a check.
I did tell her how frustrated I was especially when I found out there were no notes in the system documenting any of my other calls. I have stayed at Hampton Hotels many times for personal and business reasons but have never had to request a refund. I will definitely think twice about booking another reservation with Hampton Inn, or any of their affiliates, whether for business or pleasure.

SIX, yes SIX days later I am still trying to get a refund! So, one night stay cost me $560, 50k points and 5 bounced transactions due to their overcharge!! (Yeah, we work hard for our money and live on a budget). And to top it all off NO ONE FROM THIS LOCATION WILL RETURN MY PHONE CALLS!!!
Breakfast? They didn't have enough breakfast to accommodate all the guest. It looked like a pig slop line in there, No one maintaining the food, children licking the waffle cups, trash over running and the list goes on! Only half the elevators work and THE COFFEE POT STAYED EMPTY!!! Had to ask several times to get creamer after waiting on coffee. THIS PLACE IS TRASH!!! DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!!!

Poor Manager services. I recently stayed at the Hampton Inn Walnut Grove in Memphis. During this stay I was not aware of some of the rooms not equipped with fridge nor microwave. There was nothing I could do at this point. So I had to go out and buy a cooler to keep my beverages and food cold for my family. My room had broken drawer, bed sheets and pillows had black stains on them that didn't look very clean. Shower head was not adjustable so when taking a shower water would get all over bathroom floor. You could hear others being intimate through walls. Breakfast area oatmeal very watery. Food was not great at all and when eating breakfast water came dripping from ceiling onto chair and table... how disgusting and was told that it comes from a non working ice machine on another floor.
When checking out I ask to speak with manager... stated to the manager some of my concerns. She was very tacky about the situation and threw in my face my points that I had stayed there with and basically said there is nothing and simply nothing she can do for me so I says, "Should I contact guest services?" She says, "That's up to you". So yes I have contacted Hilton on numerous occasions regarding different concerns. Nothing has been done about the rudeness of some of their staff members and always says someone will call me. Well no one calls and when I called to check on status of complaints the reps puts in bad wordings on me as if I'm the bad person.
Not to mention I was able to put a review out pertaining to my stay and shortly after the review I signed on to my account and notice this same manager basically was able to take some of my points 20000 and say they were loaned to me. How are you gonna take away points that you nor your hotel never gave to me. Second time this happening to me with Hilton. How are they just able to play in your account like that a major concern to me. Not trustworthy. If they can do that then they just may think they can play with your debit credit card. Help me understand. I need answers.

My family and I just spent the last week staying in four different Hampton Inns in four different states (Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri.). Each location was very similar. Below were the Pros and Cons. Pros: Customer service was fast and friendly. The rooms were all updated and maintained. Housekeeping was timely and housekeepers were friendly. One location the housekeeper left a friendly note to the would be customer. This was a great touch. Parking was sufficient and had plenty of places. Breakfast was average but tasty.
Cons: One location in Springfield, Missouri had bad reviews of people stealing cars and breaking into cars. We had to buy a steering wheel lock from the local Walmart just in case. We did not have any problems. Never saw the Hotel Manager. Typically it is good to see the management talking to customers and ensuring everything is ok. Lack of advertisement of the Hilton Honors app. I found the app on my own on the last day of our trip. Would have been nice to know about the app before hand. Thanks.

I stayed at Hampton Inn in Pennsylvania and booked the hotel thru Priceline. When I got to the hotel, the manager had the reservation, but still charged my credit card, saying that the credit card did not go thru.

If I was not vigilant I would be getting double charged. I am very unhappy about this.

This is kind of crazy. Hilton charged my account for staying at their Hampton Inn in Bluffton SC while in Brunswick Ga. My credit card company shut my credit card down from charges in two different states. I still don't understand why they charged my card. I called the front desk and I was told; I didn't have reservations so no charges were made. It appeared on my CC account and originated from that hotel in Bluffton. I was transferred to billing with no explanation. CC company cancelled my card, trick is I'm going out of town Thursday and need my card. The next credit card on file with Hilton will be my prepaid card from Walmart. What's even better, it's a Hilton honor card.

After a long 8 hour drive to the Hampton Inn and Suites in Carlsbad, NM my credit card was charged $200 more than the initial 2 e-mailed confirmations! I was explained by the manager that this was just a soft, temporary hit to my account and would fall off in 72 hours. She also told me she would go over the daily charges with us and make sure that they are corrected. She never did any of that. She then told us she would "comp." the first day, NEVER done.
After staying there for 3 days the sheets were still not changed! I called down to the front desk and asked them if they could be changed which led to the manager abruptly calling our room in a hostile manner asking if she could come up and talk to us. She came up and proceeded to shove a clipboard in my face saying that their cleaning people signed off on the sheets being changed which I showed her they weren't and had to prove to her they weren't! WHAT A STRESSFUL experience for the entire week and it was suppose to be a relaxing vacation!

I said, "I want to get in my room." She said, "You will have to wait." At the time no one was at the desk.
That night when I came in I asked about a $130 charge. That clerk said, "I don`t know." A man next to her said, "We hold that in case you damage the room." I could not believe what I was hearing. That night they took another $325 out of my account. In the am I called the manager Michele. "You get it back when you check out." The room rate was $118 including tax. I complained to my bank. I called Michele and told her, "Put my money back or I will press charges." The money was credited back. We had to be in the area a few more days. We ran from that place. I called the Hampton Inn in Nanuet NY. It is only a 10 minute on the NY Thruway. I called the desk and spoke to Ebany. Her friendly voice said, "Come on over. We will be waiting for ya."

I booked a room at the Hampton Inn located at 6082 Transit Rd Lockport NY. I booked this room 2 days in advance for Valentines Day 2/14/17. It is new and super convenient due to it being down the street from my home. Me and my significant other checked out the following morning and I decided to pay cash. They then informed me that it may take up to 3 days for them to release the hold on my card.
Later on that night I checked my bank statement and was mortified to see that in addition to the $150 they also were holding $250. I called to inquire about the charge and was informed that they were charging me for smoking! I assured the manager that was impossible. I don't smoke! I have more respect for my name than to tarnish it that way! And I live literally 4 minutes away it's not worth the $250 plus the $150 I already paid. I informed him my boyfriend does smoke cigarettes but smoked in his vehicle so I am basically being charged for him smelling like cigarettes? The manager then says in fact he was present when all this was verified and they have evidence, I asked what was the evidence he stated the evidence was the smell! No seriously! So I informed him that I would have to file a complaint. He says coldly that he already notified his superiors.
Later that evening my fiance calls and apologizes to management for smelling like smoke but reassures him that he didn't! Management then tells my fiance that in addition to a "cigarette smell" they also smelled marijuana! Now I talked to the same manager and was never informed of this! So I have contacted the BBB as well as all the proper corporate channels at the Hilton and they all have treated me with no regard. To them what management says is law. So my money is good but my word isn't...Just terrible.
I have even reached out and asked an advocate to step in and maybe address the situation more formally. In their response they gave a basic timeline of my stay except they referred to me as the second guest and fiance as the main individual. Which is completely false because I...a woman...booked the hotel and checked in and out. I point this out to my advocate who felt that was a valid point! And should be because they made everything up!
In between hearing a response I check my statement again and noticed they took the $250 and additional $250 was pending... so they are trying to take it twice! I called them and they were acting so dismissive about it told me to wait til Monday! So I then went down there about 30 minutes later to physically show them my bank statement. The female I spoke to agreed that it was strange and to make sure I come back Monday if it was still the same.
Before I can make it home I receive an email from my advocate stating that management was not willing to refund me because I just left complaining and smelling like marijuana! How convenient! These people have gotten $400 out of me and have the nerve to have an additional $250 of my money tied up. And no one seems to care! I feel so violated just robbed! You'd think they'd acknowledge all the effort I have gone through! Something has to been done! They just took my money!

So if your spouse is going #2 in the bathroom and you want to make coffee or get some ice you are going to have to wait. There was an unpleasant smell about the entire hotel and they should switch the name from "continental breakfast" to "coffee and a snack," so you can be prepared to buy breakfast before you head out for the day.

They can tell more lies rather than saying "we made a mistake and we are sorry." My Tiffany's necklace never made it to me. When they agreed to send it they never declared a value so UPS would only pay them 100.00 for my 350.00 necklace. Instead of them just saying this they took me through all types of hoops and even in the end tried to act if maybe I was making the whole thing up.
It is so frustrating to recant all the lies and it is so sad as the necklace was given to me by someone over 15 years ago who have since left my life and the sentimental value that it holds for me far outweighs me lying or trying to get something for nothing. I would much rather have my necklace that had an extra piece on the chain that represented my children graduating from the 12th and 8th grade the same year.

Booked an online reservation online on 1/15/16, 10 day stay starting 2/11 at Ormond Beach Hampton Inn, Confirmation #**. Unfortunately, I booked the wrong FL Beach Hampton. I could not cancel online due to the special event. It was past the cancellation window. Reservation was 27 days in advance. Normally there is a 24-72 hr cancellation period to avoid cancellation penalties. You would think that anytime the cancellation period deviates from norm, it would be clearly noted. Called hotel less 25 min from placing online reservation, advised of my mistake, was told she would cancel with no penalty. I then booked for the same dates at the correct Hampton.
On 2/16 we were charged the full 10 days, 2,688.75. If I would have been told I would be charged the full stay, I would not have made an alternative reservation. Spoke with GM, who agreed to refund. After multiple documented conversations, attempts by GM to give credit, was told that Hampton Corp is not allowing the credit. But HHonors states it is the GM’s decision to make acceptations not them.
We would like a full refund but according the email confirmation, “Your reservation is guaranteed by a deposit of 268.88 that has been/will be charged to your credit card. Cancellations were required by 4 PM on Dec 28, 2015 local hotel time. Because this time has already passed, your deposit is non-refundable.” Leads me to believe only 268.88 should have been charged.
Despite this issue, we have stayed at a Hilton brand on 14 additional occasions since this incident. You would think that some loyalty to the Hilton brand would be honored, especially since we didn’t just cancel, we stayed at a different Hampton. Expressed issue to BBB and they were absolutely no help. As of today, have never heard from anyone.

Two weeks after making the reservation, an email from Hampton shows up in my Inbox telling me they're sorry to see that I cancelled the reservation; also included was an offer to create a new reservation. The problem was that I did not cancel the reservation! Therefore I immediately contacted Hampton Customer Care informing them that I did not cancel the room and requested that the original reservation be honored. They told me I could make a new reservation however not at the same pricing as the original reservation. I told them that I suspected Hampton cancelled my reservation because they increased their pricing and knew they'd rent the room for the higher rate to someone else.
After spending 45 minutes speaking with two different agents plus a manager, I was informed that someone else had cancelled the reservation and that Hampton would never do such a thing. I requested over and over that my original reservation be honored. The manager (Harold) I spoke with had no customer service skills. When I told him that I wouldn't stay in a Hampton or Hilton hotel ever again if he wouldn't honor my original reservation he abruptly hung up. That's all I needed to hear. I had always thought Hampton and Hilton had some class but my opinion radically changed today to the other end of the scale. Good Bye Hampton & Hilton!

Again the motel said that they did not have security or any cameras.
She always insists on Hampton/Hilton and I think she has finally accept that they are a bunch of con men that could care less about their customers. She makes fun of me because I used to travel for a living and stayed at SUPER 8s and other plebian motels but I never had anything stolen or any damage to my vehicles in over 35 years of traveling. Kinda serves her right for being too pompous about these con men. Please check out any Hilton property to make sure that they have security particularly if you are a woman or carrying valuables.

Checked out the next morning and headed home.
A couple of days later I got on my credit card acct to pay my bill and lo and behold I have an additional $250 charge from them. Thinking it was just a billing error so I called. At this point they told me it was for damage to a room. I couldn't even begin to think what this was about. After contacting the hotel 8 times and never being able to speak to a Manager or getting info on what this was I called the corporate office. Then I am told it is for a smoking in the room charge. Well number one I did not smoke in this room. My daughter was with me and can verify that. I have disputed this charge with Credit Card Company - Filed a Complaint with the BBB and also a complaint with the Attorney General in my State.
After reading many of these reviews I find this is a trend for the Hampton Inns. To this day I have not received any proof from them that I did smoke in the room. WHY - because they don't have any. I will never stay at a Hampton Inn again. And believe me the best advertising is word of mouth. And believe me I will certainly make this issue known. They have STOLEN this money from me and also it is fraud for charging my credit card. For all I know maybe the maid needed a smoke so she used my room and blamed it on me. Like I said my daughter was with me and can attest to the fact that this room was NOT smoked in.

I put a review here and now just to keep the record straight I want it known that finally today Hampton Inn gave me my overcharges back. In all fairness, they removed all three of the charges but no explanation. I don't know if they screwed up again or were trying to "make it up to me". But they did correct the problem finally.

I checked into the Hampton Inn at Corinth Ms. on August 20 for a one night stay. I gave them my debit card for payment. I returned to the room only to find that they had charged my debit card three times instead of once. I returned immediately to the desk to be told there was nothing they could do about it. There was no manager there. I returned to the room and called Hampton Inn corporate customer service and was basically told there was nothing they could do as well. They would give me a complaint number and they would work on it. I asked "what if this was my gas budget to get home?" They were sorry. Four days later they are still sorry. No one responds. I again called and was told again they were really sorry. On Thursday my banks fraud department will begin investigating. Hampton Inn had always been my hotel of choice but never will I go there again or recommend it to anyone.

My daughter placed a hold on ten rooms at the Hampton Inn located at 102 S. Cottage Hill Rd. Carrollton, Ga 30117 for her graduation celebration. Unfortunately, she booked directly through this location and was charged for eight rooms to which her credit card cut off at four rooms with a rate of $132.68 totaling $530.72. No one sent a confirmation, policy requirements, or cancellation notice in writing or through an email. After contacting the hotel directly to resolve the issue, no manager was available so I made a call to the corporate office. I spoke to a LeaAnn and she stated that there would be a review and that my daughter would receive a paper refund 7-10 days and to call back if there is no response after 72 hours.
I call today, August 8, 2016 and spoke to Tamara **; Guest Assistance Escalation Department Hilton Supervisor and she stated that there is no refund and that nothing can be done to override the hotel policy. When asked if I could receive a copy of the policy and confirmation email, she said "no, it is gone and cannot be retrieved." I asked to speak to someone over her and she stated that she was the highest person to talk to and refused to provide any more information.
I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with the customer service received from the hotel and corporate office. Hampton Inn clearly stole from my daughter and is not making this situation right. We will never stay at another Hampton Inn Hotel and we will tell friends, family, business associates, and clients to how business is handled and how the consumer is taken advantage of.

Breakfast what a joke, hope you like dry cereal. Also I'm a non smoker. They said I smoke in the room and charge my credit card 250.00 dollars and they were so rude.

Really its not worth their fare anyway. I talked with several different people. They could not do nothing not even give me a night stay in a different room. They really need the 250 dollars that they stole yes stole from me.

Having stayed at many Hilton Hotels and Resorts through the years, our family has been very pleased overall with our experiences. I must note, however, the Hampton Inn & Suites - Knoxville/North I-75 May 27, 2016, reflects very poorly on the image the Hilton product line strives to maintain on its properties. Never have I posted a negative review, but I believe this experience is worth noting:
May 27 we walked into a repulsive-smelling room, which also was not clean. There was hair in the bathroom and on the sheets, and the toilet-paper roll was almost empty. We tried to make the best of the situation, knowing we would only be staying there one night. However, our experience only got worse: my child accidentally left his Chaco sandals under the desk in our room and realized it as soon as we got home. We immediately called the hotel, and we were told the sandals were not in the room.
I called back the next day, and the manager would not allow me to speak to the person who cleaned the room (I wanted to explain to her exactly where the sandals were), and he told me "diamond necklaces have been found" by the staff, as if that were to make me feel better. He was not the least bit accommodating but instead pulled my account from being able to review his hotel.

I just called to reserve joining rooms but was told they could not guarantee joining rooms and may give them to guests currently staying in a joining room if they decide to extend their stay. So you wouldn't know until you arrive??? So they would rather chance/hope an existing guest extending their stay than going ahead and booking it and having it reserved. I have never heard of that before.

I went online a couple months ago to plan on a hotel to stay in as we were traveling and I wanted a really nice special place to stay. I read reviews and liked what I read on Hampton, so I booked. Waited and waited for a email confirmation never got it. Called again never got it. Called again and this time I was so mad I was going to cancel. The guy talked me out of it and said it was on his way and never got it again. So called to cancel and found another one and the lady said she sent it so we regrettingly kept it. When we got there I thought the laundry room was right next to us and the washer was unbalanced but no it was our AIR CONDITIONER!!! It started out loud and then sounded like it was spinning and unbalanced. That kept us up all night and then at 7 in the morning the fire alarm went off!!! No explanation so I had to call the front desk to find out what happened. There was no all clear call or no explanation to what happened.
We are not rich and we like to get our money worth. We have stayed at many a hotel but we both said this is by far the worst we have been to. We went next door to the Marriott to eat and we told the lady we wished we would have spent the few dollars more and stayed there. We will never stay at a Hampton again. We will tell our friends not to stay there. We love any of the choice hotel group and then stayed at a really nice comfort inn and suites on the way home. I was actually excited to stay at the Hampton that was going to be the really nice one to stay in on this whole trip but will always be memorable in the fact it was the worst.

We checked into the Hampton Inn in Jacksonville on Tuesday, May 10 intending to stay through Sunday, May 15 due to a death in the family. All went well until the day of the funeral, Saturday, May 14. In the middle of the funeral, around 11am, we got a call from Leondra, the desk clerk informing us we needed to check out immediately. So, my husband and I left the funeral, frantically scrambled to find another hotel, which we were fortunate to do considering that Jacksonville was packed and hotel accommodations were hard to find. We were on the way back to the Hampton Inn when Leondra called back. "I talked to the manager and we're able to extend you until tomorrow." Me: "Take your hotel and shove it. I wouldn't stay there one more day if my life depended on it."
So, everything she had said up until then was a lie. The charming Leondra could have acted like a first-class hotelier and offered to help us in the first place. She could taken the pressure off when she learned we were at a funeral. She could have worked it out with us to come in later. But no. So much for guest services or even humane treatment. We travel a lot, but I'll never stay in a Hampton Inn again.

The purpose of this complaint is to address concerns about the treatment I have received from Hampton Management Staff, and the fact that my rooms were canceled as a result of me complaining to guest services. I made the reservation on March 21, 2016 for the Hampton on Walnut Grove in Memphis. There were several issues with this reservation that has put my name and reputation at risk as a agent. The original contract reservation was made 3/21. I had 10 rooms (1 double and 9 kings). The contract stated names must be added by May 16. The contract further advised that Cancellations are required by 4PM on May 6, 2016 local hotel time. At that point I started accepting deposits from clients. I provided payment deadlines in accordance to the dates provided. On April 21, I received two emails back to back about the reservation.
When I received the emails I was confused, as the contract didn't specify any of this. I reached out to Ms ** and advised her of the conflict. Clarissa stated it was a typo on the contract but I will work based in need. We spoke several times prior to May 6. On the 6th I called Clarissa, and I advised her of the names for 7 rooms. At this point I thought that was all the Hampton needed till May 26, based on our communication. I then message Ms Clarissa to advise her since I will not allowed the additional time to collect from my clients. I would refund the 4 deposits for rooms, as I could not give them the time they agreed to pay their balance, which was May 10th.
Clarissa stated at that point the money was due May 6, as well as the names. In addition the rate would change. I became furious as none of these requirements were on the contract I received originally. I confirmed with Clarissa the following: "This up charge if I don't have 10 rooms booked is approximately $25-$26 per night or $25 more to the grand total for each room? I am so disappointed. I never received anything in writing about the 10 room discount when the reservation was made and confirmation. Furthermore, the deadline was changed for the names to be added, was changed from the original terms. All conflicts. I appreciate anything that can be done to assist me with this booking."
May 11 - I contacted guest services (Priscilla) and addressed my concerns. I was advised that I still have one room on my old reservation. I advised the original reservations was canceled and replaced by the existing reservation. She advised she would cancel that reservation and would create a case to resolved the rate and payment due dates issues. After creating the case I received confirmation of my complaint, and to give 72 hours for a resolution.
I then realized 3 days would exceed the date I advised Clarissa I would pay, which was the 13th for two (double/King) rooms and the 16th for the remaining King room. I figured if no resolution by the 13 I would just pay for the 2 rooms on 5/13. I called Clarissa on 5/3 to pay for the two rooms and was told that guest services sent a request to canceled my rooms at my request. I was heartbroken. Clarissa then stated she would call her general manager Ashley to discuss and she would call me back. I am very upset. I never received a callback. I am very upset that my reservation was canceled. On May 12 I received several response from guest services as follows:
"My name is Jose. It will be my pleasure to assist with cancellation of your reservation at the Hampton Inn Memphis/Walnut Grove/Baptist Hospital East. It is my understanding that the hotel has cancelled your reservation without any charges."
"My name is Nelia. It will be my pleasure to assist you regarding reservation at the Hampton Inn Memphis/Walnut Grove/Baptist Hospital East. It is my understanding that the hotel has been processed your request. They cancelled the room block with no late fees."
"My name is Mari. It will be my pleasure to assist with your concerns at the Hampton Inn Memphis-Walnut Grove/Baptist East. The hotel indicated that you informed them that you did not want your credit card charged. Each of the rooms reserved required a valid credit card. This requirement was not met, therefore rooms canceled."
"Thank you for contacting Hilton Guest Assistance. My name is Mari. It will be my pleasure to assist with your concerns. Unfortunately, I was unable to determine from your message how I may be of assistance."
I was so overwhelmed, as this was not my concerns and I felt like I was getting the runaround. On May 15th I called guest services to follow up with the above response and was advised there is nothing that can be done as groups are handled by the actual location and there is nothing that can be done at this point. The manager also stated that there was no way to compensate me for my time or inconvenience. She then advised that there was still an open reservation for one room for the original reservation. I advised that should have been canceled when the new reservation was made. I emailed guest services to cancel it again today.
I am taking pen to paper to BBB, Attorney General, and Consumer Affairs. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with any establishment since becoming an agent, and as well as my personal business. I have been loyal to Hilton/Hampton customer for 25 years, and I have never had this type of treatment.

From the moment I checked in to the Hampton Inn in Charleston to a week after I checked out, I have had nothing but issues! I was told by the assistant GM that he needed my card in order for me to get into my room when the other girl I was staying with already had hers on file but wasn't arriving until after me. I asked him why he needed it and I got a rude response asking me if I have never stayed at a hotel before because it is standard policy. They then put the full amount on my card of over 900 dollars the following day. I went back to him again and gave him the original card it was supposed to go on which was the girl I was staying with. I had to call my bank and have them talk to him to have the amount removed. We then agreed to put my portion of the hotel which was 200 on my card when I checked out and the remaining balance was to be charged to the card on file!
When I checked out of the hotel on Monday 5/9 I gave him my card to charge me for my portion. That was the only amount I authorized. When the other girl checked out on Tuesday 5/10 instead of using the card on file like he was supposed to he decided to charge my account again for the rest. So this morning I realized once again my account has been charged over 900 dollars. I called early this morning to get it resolved knowing he was working the front desk and asked for Sean. He then told me that was him and when I told him who I was and why I was calling he proceeded to tell me that I wasn't talking to Sean anymore and I needed to call back later to speak to him. So I asked if he could help me knowing that was who I was speaking with and all of a sudden the computers crashed and was told no one could help me!
This is the worst I have EVER BEEN TREATED by hotel staff and am in the customer service industry and would never talk to people this way or deal with issues the way they have with this company. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy!! Charleston is a beautiful town and I will be back but not anywhere near the Hampton Inn!

I was in jeans, t-shirt and my hair was wrap. I was approach with a friendly "hello" and the person at desk start to explain about my stay. Now I book my room March 22, and I did several followup calls to explain what I wanted. I ask for a king with fridge and microwave. Well as she to tell me why they didn't have it and that they were overbook, and as I begin to tell her, I call then personal to tell them what I ask for, and to make sure we was clear. Well next thing I know some airline pilots came in, and she stop talking to me and begin to wait on them. I'm like "Excuse me pay attention to me". Well she was like "I'm sorry". I told her "Just because I'm looking like no one, you never who I might be."
So I went on to room. My husband arrives and we went on about our stay. Well to make matters worse, day one we went out came back and the room was not clean, no clean towels, day 2 same thing. Well finally I went to housekeeping and I ask them why my room was was not clean, she went to tell me that they had inspection and they couldn't do our room but would do it the next day, so I just smh, and ask for towels. Finally on our last night day, we went out and we got our room clean with towels. Where is the big reason why I would never stay at a Hilton ever again nor would I recommend my workers of physician to not stay at this Hampton in their lifetime, unless we walk in in unifom with our scopes around our neck and with gloves on, to be treated like we are VIP but no one should be treated any different because of the way you dress!!!
I check my debit card as I always do and saw where they had charge me the room it was saying pending, I'm like I'm ok. Well on the day of checking out I double check my card, and it say my balance over 1000,00, well I check out went to the gas station swipe my card and it said "Insignificant funds, see clerk inside." I'm like "Hell no." Well I check my card at it said I only had 18.00 on my debit, so I call my husband screaming and he turn around after missing a flight, who is agent for comedians. We went back to hotel and there was another couple going off that her card had been overcharge.
Well finally when I went to desk and went to tell them what happen and that I had the same problem, I was told that's a horse for a different color. I just cried and didn't know what to say are do. The only answer I could get was to call my bank and they would refund my money. I was not offer any apology. I could been stranded without any help. I wasn't offer another stay, no water to calm me down, nothing. My husband went back in and the counter was surround by manager who gave us a card and a auth no #.
This is not the end of this for me. I will take this to the Hiltons myselves, cause this was not explain to me but maybe if the young one who was at the counter on my arrival day explain this to me instead of forgetting about cause she felt I was too poor to be there, then I would stay at the Hyatt, like many time before and never ever was treated this way. I just want people to know what happen to me, so it's your choice if you want to stay, but I promise when the Mike Epps come to North Charleston, we will make sure his family friend don't book with them.

My daughter made a reservation to this hotel located on the Waterfront in Homestead Pgh, PA for the weekend 2/19-2/21. She received a travel passport from a family member who's employed by this chain as part of a birthday gift. (I never stay outside of my preferred hotel which are the Hyatt chains.) I went along with this idea since this hotel is centrally located to shops and restaurants which are within walking distance from the hotel, so if drinking was a part of the celebration, walking was the preferred means of transportation. I arrived at the hotel to check in and was given room key, I got a luggage rack then went to the car to bring in the balloons and birthday cake that I just pick up for our dinner reservations at 8 pm.
Once I came back into the hotel I was stop and told that the GM wanted to speak to me. That's when a very bald man in a suit appears asking about the blank travel passport and my stay for the weekend. He then started asking me a series of questions that was totally out of line. Only seeing the balloons and birthday cake he started assuming that a party was going to be held in the room and what will happen if done so. He went on to say that's what many people has done and how it had disturbed other guests and the police were called. At this point I started to feel as if I was being reprimanded for something that wasn't going to take place to begin with. He then looked over my shoulder and asked where was my luggage. I had told him several times throughout the conversation that I wasn't staying. As he continued with his line of questions which at this point had made me feel very uncomfortable, it suddenly hit me.
How he was stereotyping me with his racist line of questioning. At that moment I then laid the key cards back on the counter, decided not to stay, then went back to my car and called the corporate office. After I spoke to a nice lady who listened to my complaint and took notes, she research my main concern and ensured me that I wasn't going to be charged. She also informed me that many complaints have been made on this location in which mine would be added to that list. I then went to the website and read the reviews on this hotel, something I should have done from the start. But to my surprise, I was shocked with what I saw and read.
The only resolution I can honestly say I got for this situation was that our blank travel passport along with the GM egotistical demeanor and my decision not to stay, may have prevented us from encountering a much bigger nightmare than what we could've seen coming. Calling another hotel chain, getting settled in, and picking up where I left off with the Hampton Inn was easily done. So what I took away from this experience was that sticking to what you know, is always the best way to go. Hyatt for life.

I was transferred to Housekeeping - Lost and Found and I left a voicemail explaining the situation and I left my contact information and room number I stayed; hoping that someone was going to call me back. Since no one called me, I called again at around 4:30 pm. Once again, nobody answered so I left another message. The next day (August 11) at 10:00 am the Housekeeping supervisor called me and asked me to explain the situation. She asked me again for the room number even though I said it in the voice mail I left the day before.
I told her that I worked as a Housekeeper supervisor for a big hotel in the past and I know that sometimes housekeepers forget to bring the items they find in the rooms to the lost and found so I asked her to search the housekeepers' cars. She said that she would do that and also search the room again, just in case and she will call me in about 20 minutes. I am still waiting for that phone call despite the fact that I told her that bracelet has a significant sentimental value and I was sure I left it in the bathroom next to the sink. At this time it is clear that they did not "found" my bracelet but customers need to be treated with more respect. Maybe I would have obtained a better response to my case if I would have called very angry instead of being patient and understanding.

Ah, the Hampton Inn of Beachwood, Ohio. Having to deal with managers with filthy, nasty attitudes. Managers that won't give you a room that you paid for two weeks in advance for your daughter's birthday stating children under 18 years old are not allowed to have rooms. After straightening that out, having your vehicle damaged in the hotel parking lot and having to file police reports. A hotel that only has security cameras in the front of the building, but no where else? Even though there are entrances and exits around the whole building? Really? A non-smoking environment where certain individual can smoke up the hallways for individuals with asthma and other respiratory ailments. People if you want to give your heart a good stress test that may kill you come to the Hampton Inn of Beachwood.

We arrived at the Norfolk, NE Hampton Inn at 7:30 pm. I had booked the room on Expedia. When I arrived, the clerk advised me that my room had been cancelled. I most certainly had not cancelled it, so I asked to speak with a supervisor. Renata showed up. She told me she had run an 'audit report' at 4 pm and that the credit card I used would not process, so she cancelled my room. After explaining to her that my credit card had been compromised, so I had to request a new one, she told me that was my problem and that she had no rooms. Her reasoning behind cancelling my room was 'What if you didn't show up?' Well, I did show up with my new card in hand and was ready for my room. She again told me she could not and would not help me.
When I asked for her supervisor, she advised me they were on vacation. She then advised me that I wouldn't be the first or last person to complain to her manager about her. She then smiled, picked up the phone and dialed 911. I've never experienced anything like it in my life. The Hiltons should be ashamed to have their name associated with Renata and the Hampton Inn of Norfolk.

Anyway, even though I reserved about 2 - 3 weeks ahead of time, I could not get one but my daughter got one and she's 43, ha! My one day stay was nice though and I was happy with the room. We could not get in though, at 3:00, but they gave me and my son 2 big rooms, 2 double beds. The "free" breakfast is wonderful and lots to pick from. I think I read where the building is 6 years old, but all looks nice and clean and fairly new on the inside. Personnel were wonderful. We even fed a little kitty that came up to my son outside.

I started working for Hampton Inn in Snyder, Tx. I had been there about a month now. The manager and her daughter are in charge. Everything was going fine until one day she asked me if I would like to run for supervisor of housekeeping. Of course I said yes. She had me check all the rooms and I did but keep in mind. I don't have training for this as of yet. So I marked down everything the rooms were missing and some that were still dirty. By 8 pm they were calling me on my phone that they were having to turn customers away because they didn't have any rooms available. I'm sorry but if a customer is going to pay 150-180 a night for a room, I'd expect it to be cleaned right and not have anything missing from it. To make the long story short I decided I would go in and do touch ups on rooms so they could have rooms available.
A day later she had me in laundry. We at this point don't have a laundry attendant. It was 4 days worth of lining piled up. I have pictures as well. While I decided to go and stalk up the floors for the housekeepers, the manager's daughter yells at me and says "do you know you're not suppose to take the bends up to the floors to stalk." I asked her "well how am I suppose to get everything up to ask four floors." She said "carry it!!!" I just laughed and said I would talk to her mom which is the manager when she would come in. I'm not about to break my back carrying everything up to all four floors and hurt myself. (This happened before lunch.) As I went back into the laundry room I was upset. Saying "wow I can't believe they want me to carry everything." When one of the girls from housekeeping comes in and tells me in Spanish "these people are crazy." I started laughing and I said "I know it's freaking bull."
Well about 2:50 pm that I had been busting my tail all day trying to catch everything up the daughter goes in the laundry room and says "my mom needs to talk to you on the phone." So I head to get the phone and it's at front desk. She starts yelling at me on the phone that what problem do I have with her daughter. I said "excuse me. What are you talking about?" She says that I was in laundry saying freaking this and freaking that. I said "I don't have a problem with your daughter. If I had a problem I would have left when she yelled at me about the bin. Is that what you're talking about?" She still was screaming so I finally told her "if you're mad and screaming at me in front of customers don't think I'm going to stand here and let you scream at me without me saying anything back. If you can't respect me to take me to a phone in the back office like a manager is suppose to then I will defend myself back."
I screamed back at her this time over the phone. Get this, this time the new receptionist just came in and he didn't know about anything happening. Plus a guest was walking in the hall. So as I went on to tell her I didn't have a problem and she didn't like me yelling at her she mentioned "I guess you made up your mind about not working here." I said "wow! Now you're firing me about the word Freaking!!!" Ok I said, "I will go on Hampton review and post about this." She hung up on me and I grabbed my stuff and left. Yes I did go on Hampton review on Facebook. She commented and said "an ungrateful ex employee that's out to sabotage." No I'm not out to sabotage. But it was not fair to treat a hard working employee like that and want my word to be heard. She then text me on my phone and said since I posted on the review "that I had Snyder police informed" and I text back that "it was free speech on that site and anyone can post on it."
She deleted the review then had the nerve to text me that she had all the employees sign a paper saying they are not allowed to talk to me. The funny thing is, I have text messages where she sent me talking about some of the employees. I also have a Facebook message from one of the girls saying she cussed her out in the breakfast room in front of customers for something she did wrong. The girl, wanted to cry.

Hampton Inn Tampa International Airport/Westshore - I have been a Hilton customer for many years. I made an advance purchase reservation online on June 13 2015 for a stay on July 4-6th 2015 in a 2 queen bedroom. On July 3rd I called to confirm my reservation only to be told that it had been cancelled by someone using my name. I asked who called and why? Advance purchase had no answer because they didn't know. All they knew was that my reservation was cancelled and there was nothing I could do just sit back and allow them to charge my card and take my money. Really?
Needless to say, I was livid. How could they tell me that I lost out on my reservation AND my money because they didn't bother to take names or confirm directly with me to cancel the reservation? I spoke to several people trying to get a hold of a manager and they ALL had the nerve to tell me that I was already talking to a "manager". Someone by the name of Jenna ** calling herself a manager, was one of the rudest people I have had the displeasure of speaking with my entire life.

First, check-in and out was fast and courteous. Our room was perfect; a/c, refrigerator, hair dryer, etc., all working perfectly. We were impressed by the efficiency and cleanliness. We know that some hotels don't wash the bedspread daily... we saw a documentary on TV that showed under ultraviolet lights all kinds of stains from recent shall we say, personal intimate activity. However the spread at the Hampton was white, and as fresh the sheets with a simple elegant pattern. And the mattress was the most comfortable, soft and luxurious we've experienced for the price. The free breakfast was great; fresh fruit, waffles, eggs, cereal, pastry, oatmeal, fresh coffee. We visit Waterbury quite often from Boston, and this hotel is our "go to" place. Highly recommended!

I recently stayed in the Hampton Inn Key Largo this weekend with my family. We were supposed to stay 2 nights 6/26 to 6/28/15, but ended up leaving 6/27/15 (Saturday) at 9:30pm. Apparently we had an incident in the hotel where this man was stalking my daughter, following her everywhere and even hiding between the shrubs and staring at her while she was at the pool. We let the bartender (**) know and asked him what did he suggest we do? He then called the manager who came with 3 other clerks to the bar and asked us what had happened? We explained, she said she would make a note of it and to let her know if anything else happened. The bartender (**) even told us that there were other incidents there in the past that could even be related, but he couldn't elaborate.
My daughter went to Upper Crust pizza with some new friends she met and my oldest daughter got angry because of the previous incident and didn't agree with out after what happened so they got into an argument and started screaming at each other, so I made the determination of cutting our weekend vacation earlier and leaving the hotel. Went by the front desk and told the man (Spanish Guy) him that we had decided to leave earlier and that I apologize about any complaints on their yelling from the guest, but because everything that had happen, I thought it would be better if we just left.

We recently spent two weeks travelling and stayed at Hampton Inn on 6 occasions. On our last night we stayed at the Matamoras PA location. Two days after getting home I checked my credit card and found that my card had been charged $250, not knowing what it was I called the hotel. I was told it was a charge because housekeeping reported our room smelled like smoke after we checked out.
I told the person I was speaking with that we didn't smoke and that was just not correct. She then suggested that maybe we had lit candles. I then informed her I was 65 years old and my days of lighting candles were long gone. She then insisted there was nothing she could do that that was what housekeeping reported and that was the policy. I then started to lose my temper because she would not even listen to me telling her that we DID NOT SMOKE. She then said she would have the GM or head of housekeeping return my call by 5PM on Sunday 2/1. It is now 2/5 and I'm still waiting for a return call.
This is an outrageous practice that no one would bother listening to me telling them we did not smoke in the room and that quite possibly they had the wrong room and that there was an apparent mix up. They just assumed we smoked and charged my CC. We are and have been loyal customers of Hampton Inn, but this is unacceptable to us and I am really upset about a $250 charge that is in error and I am being made to pay for, while the real culprit gets off free. My husband and I are both adamant non-smokers and to be charged for this is outrageous. I am so upset by this that I can't help but be angry. It is grossly unfair and I don't have that kind of money to throw around.

Long story short, my engine was flooded. This was surprising to me as I had not driven through any water during my 2 hour drive from home nor had it been raining. When I returned to the hotel after dropping my car off at the dealer, I noticed (and took pictures) of a broken sprinkler head in the exact parking spot I had been in. I also noticed water coming from my engine in the pictures I took when my car was being towed. After taking into account the damage to my car and the broken sprinkler head, I am convinced that the sprinklers went off during the night and flooded my engine.
The hotel claims that their sprinklers did not go off the night I was staying with them and therefore, they are not responsible. After filing a claim with my car insurance (total bill of ~$4000 for a new-to-me engine), I owed a $500 deductible and this is all I requested from either the hotel, the Hampton Inn Corporate Office, or the Hilton Corporate Office. Despite being a Diamond HHonors Member, neither the Hampton Inn nor Hilton Corporate were willing to do what's right and reimburse my $500. I unfortunately will be a Marriott customer from now on.

I traveled to Batesville Indianapolis from Portland Oregon for two weeks of training. The first day training class when I got back to my room, all my socks were gone. I had bought food for the week to save money. When I got back from class the next day I noticed the fridge was not very cold. It was working fine when I checked in. I turned down the temp and when I checked it after training the next day it was even warmer so I checked it and found out it had been unplugged. There is no way it could have been an accident. I had to throw out over $30.00 worth of food. I told the person at the front desk and she said there was "no reason anyone would have unplugged it". My co-worker has had half of his blood pressure medication stolen over that two-day period, they happen to be blue pills.
He left a note on top of his pills stating he would call the police if they took anymore. I am one of 24 people from all over the country that are here for this training, have not talked to any of them yet. This has been just the first week of two we have to stay here. I feel like I have to take all my luggage, my laptop plus camera gear with me to class everyday just to feel safe. I will no longer allow anyone to clean my room!! If I did not "have" to stay here I would move somewhere else. So far I have had to get 4 entry cards because they stopped working. I do not feel safe staying here!!!! I have been told this may have happened because I didn't leave a $10.00 tip in the room on the first day. Are you kidding me?

I had a fire at my house and needed to stay in a hotel. I checked into the Hampton Inn. I paid for one night with one credit card and I needed to extend my stay. I told the manager that I would stop back with a different credit card to pay for the additional days. When I stopped back, the manager told me that she could not extend my stay using that credit card because it didn't match my original credit card. I am a local business owner and I told her that I use this credit card every single day without any issues. In fact, I went to another hotel and used that credit card successfully for the additional nights. Hampton Inn will not be in business long if they continue to mistreat their customers. I will personally never stay at a Hampton Inn again because of this incident.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn off I-95 in Fayetteville, NC on September 17, 2014. The morning after, while at the Continental Breakfast in the lobby, our room was burglarized. My husband's handgun was taken from his suitcase and $300 in cash was removed from my purse. The theft was 'neatly' accomplished and we would not have realized it until our destination in Virginia was reached except for my husband's attempt to transfer the handgun from the suitcase to our vehicle's console. I then checked my purse and discovered the cash missing; the thief had found every 'nook and cranny' in my wallet where I had secreted the bills.
Police were called, responding quickly. While awaiting the police, I told the people in the room next to us who were just returning from breakfast to check their possessions. The woman said that prior to their leaving the room for breakfast, a man knocked on their door and, when confronted, said he had the wrong room. She did, however, get a perfect description of him. Upon giving this description to the police, they knew the burglar due to previous (and similar) crimes. The hotel manager also recognized the person --- a maintenance man who was supposedly just fired the day before. He had a pass key!
The suspect has not been arrested for the crime committed upon us, but was arrested that same day, September 18, for a previous theft of a firearm, and then released on bond! Since the day of the burglary, we have been pursuing a resolution to this crime; we are making some progress, but very slowly. And, adding to our anger and frustration, we were charged for the room! Whatever happened to their 100% Hampton Guarantee -- 'If you're not 100% satisfied, we don't expect you to pay. That's our promise and your guarantee. That's 100% Hampton.' We contacted them, no response!

To begin with the Hampton Inn in Fayetteville asked my boyfriend to come to their board meeting to support their hotel and he did. The Manager told him that his flyers would be posted for his Elk River canoe and kayak business and they said they would use his business as their theme and he could stay w/ their employee discount. None of that happened. We stayed there a week paid full price. Well the first room we stayed in had bed bugs. We asked for the manager and we were told she wasn't there but in fact she was there. The whole time staff was very rude. My boyfriend had to fix the pool pump because the pool was so dirty. Floors not cleaned nor vacuumed, stains on the sheet and bed bugs in room 408.
I woke up with my child's bloodstains on the sheet. We called the Hilton and they faxed her a sheet that was made tory to get back with us in 48 hours and she never did. When I finally found out who the manager was, she was sitting down in slacks no name tag bad-mouthing us and our business. She entered our room and went through everything we had and stole some of our property. Found a Smithsonian kit for my children and called the police and told them we had a working meth lab in our room. They also told the man paying for his room that he could not get a room on discount with the Orbitz.
This is how badly we were treated, escorted out by the police because of her rumors. We spent 1000 dollars with that hotel and not a soul has tried to help. I believe a business like that is very unprofessional and they laughed about it - now what or who helps you? I will not or my boyfriend will refer anyone at our business to stay there. If anyone knows what we should do I would love some kind of advice. I also have recordings and pictures. I have way more pics I will post separate.

I stay in this location approximately 2 months ago. The carpet was wet in areas and the breakfast was terrible. The desk clerk recommended a restaurant for dinner. When I returned, I found that clothing was stolen from my room. When reported to the desk clerk, he laughed and said there was nothing he could do. I spoke to the Hotel general manager, Maria, after I arrived home and she said she would investigate my clothing loss by checking the key card to see who entered my room and said she was aware about the breakfast food problem and was sorry, and said would get back to me concerning my stolen clothing from my room. After not hearing for a month, I called her again and she said she is still working on it. It has been over 2 months and I have not heard from her.

I made a reservation online for the Hampton Inn on High Point Rd in Greensboro, NC arriving on 8/14/14 and departing on 8/17/14. Before my arrival date I changed the arrival date to one day later. All of this was done online. Prior to my arrival, I received an email from American Express informing me that my account had been charged $501.80 by Hampton Inn. Needless to say I was concerned. Upon my arrived I inquired about the charge since I had not even checked in. I was told it was to cover damage and drinks. The amount added for that was $63.00. I was then told they could not honor my reservation because they did not get the arrival change and with a golf tournament, dog show, and a concert in town they were full. I then went across the street and was able to get a room at the DoubleTree which was cheaper, nicer, and friendlier. I will be contacting the corporate offices with regard to my experience. Needless to say, I will not be staying in a Hampton Inn anymore.

I am a 50-year-old female with a medical condition which requires me to use the bathroom quite often. While traveling down the coast from my home in McKinleyville, I stopped at Hampton Inn in Arcata to use the restroom. Upon entering the lobby of the hotel, I was approached by a female employee who let me know in no uncertain terms that I was not allowed to use the restroom since I was not a paying customer, at which point I left and went across the street to McDonald's where I was able to relieve myself. The really bad part is that when I walked past the front desk of the hotel, one of the female employees said out loud "Naked and dirty". Can you believe that? I was in shock and did not respond to her verbal assault, nor did I notify the manager since I was so embarrassed that she said that to me in front of a lobby full of people. This is the first time that this has ever happened to me anywhere in The United States. I feel that this is a form of discrimination. What do you think?

I had made a prepaid online booking through Booking.com and my stay duration was check-in on 11/07/14 and check out on 14/07/14 (3 nights) room no **. I checked in comfortably on the 11th upon my arrival from Berlin by train and All was OK till the morning of 13th of July 2014. The only problem I had earlier was the bath shower water was blocked and this was later amended.
I arrived at the breakfast lounge at 8.00 AM from my room for an early breakfast (the watch on the TV in the room however was showing an hour early meaning 7 AM which I had convened to the reception was not addressed). I chose a table close to the buffet table and left my handbag on a chair (the 1st red chair next to the croissant table) and proceeded to get a glass of juice and a croissant, (this took me maybe 2 minutes or even less in all away from my table, and when I reached back with my plate I noticed that my bag had vanished!!). I inquired from a passing hotel cleaning staff who conveyed ignorance. I looked around carefully for the bag on and around my table and upon not finding it I immediately proceeded to the Overlooking reception and the person in Charge said she will check with the Manager Ms. Eva ** in order to inquire/seek help and lodge my complaint.
Surprisingly the reception staff did not seem very eager to react to the situation. A fellow guest at the breakfast room had in fact seen someone pick up the bag and rush out and she volunteered to support my claim of the theft from well within the hotel premises. By the way this couple and I had come down the elevator together -- they were on level 2. She suggested that the person who she had seen rushing out seemed familiar with the hotel staff (A young man with blond hair) as this was a person she had observed chatting with the Receptionist a prior evening who was offering the man a drink!
The lady at the reception did not find it valid to go out and about inside or just outside to see if we could nab or catch a glimpse of the culprit or look for the missing bag (later upon the arrival of the police I was given to understand that the specific camera overlooking the specific site too was out of order!!). Ms Eva also said that the German lady who had told me about the man later had changed her statement to say the person she felt was Asian Chinese.
I had most of my important belongings contained in the Louis Vuitton Bag that amongst other things included my Passport, Credit cards, approx euro 1250 and USD 250 in cash, Apple cell phone, Branded sunglasses, branded Spectacles, Entry ticket for the fashion fair I had gone to attend at Amsterdam as well as a 72 hr ticket/city pass for the metro. I have been traveling 3 times or more a year to Europe for almost 15 years now and this has been my first experience of this kind ever. I chose a HILTON franchise over many other properties for a certain quality of service and an environment that is safe and secure for a woman traveling on her own. Unfortunately my experience at The Hampton by HILTON at Amsterdam was lacking in both. The apathy with which I was treated in that situation is something I will never be able to get over.
I was rudely directed to go by bus to the nearest police station in order to make an official complaint. (The hotel should have summoned the police by phone to report the theft). It was not as if I was carelessly walking along a street inviting trouble when I was robbed of my belongings. This happened in the closed confines of a prestigious HOTEL in daylight early morning with maybe 8 people having breakfast in an almost empty place, that was meant to be safe and secure. There ought to have been closed circuit television cameras installed in good working condition in order to track suspicious activity!! Surprisingly it was not the case!!
I was left to fend for myself in a foreign country with no Identity or money or means to communicate only because I reposed my faith in the upkeep care and security of a brand such as HILTON. Luckily I did manage to find means to arrange fresh documents (passport through the Indian consulate at HAGUE to facilitate my return the next day (unfortunately the hotel staff conveyed to me that I had to vacate the room as my booking was valid till the 14th only). I am left wondering how would I have fended that, in case my documents had been delayed for reasons unknown. Such inhumane uncompromising rude behavior leaves me in a shock and I shudder to think of that possibility.
I strongly recommend forfeiting the HILTON tag from this property. I live in the National capital region of DELHI in INDIA and am very familiar with the excellent hospitality standards offered at HILTON having personally experienced it on numerous occasions over many years. Further I would like to know who takes responsibility for my suffering through this episode and how I may be compensated suitably for the ordeal otherwise I will be forced to seeking redress and claim damage through legal means.

Hello! At our hotel stay, there was a terrible odor when you walked in our room. We tried leaving the door open and letting the room air out. Then, we tried turning the AC way down to try and air out the room. Then, after about an hour, we went down to the front desk. The lady, Ashley, sent this other lady up to our room to check it out. She came back down and said there was no smell. So, we could not change rooms. We went back up to our room and she had sprayed disinfectant. So, obviously, she smelled something. The disinfectant helped for a little while but it still smelled horrible. We do not like being lied to. Please do not stay at this Hampton in Pensacola near I 10. There are plenty of other hotels to stay at.

We left our room this morning and came back to a room that was not clean and no towels. I called the front desk and ask for help and they said that a manager would be up in an hour. Nobody came up so I called the front desk again and requested the manager, and I was told that he was gone and cannot be contacted. I said that someone needs to be here to correct this and get us a clean room and some towels. I was told that there were not any rooms to move us into. I said that they are advertising rooms available on the sign outside as we speak. I was told that there was nothing she could do. I said, "If there is any time that you can shine or work out anything, please work your magic to do so." I was told, "I am not a fairy" and "there is nothing that I can do."
At that point I saw what kind of operation this was. This was all attitude and blocking and she was very smug in the manner in which she did it. Then she said to me, "Anyway all the rooms were cleaned." I asked her, "If the room was cleaned and we had towels, would I be calling you to get the trash and send some towels?" She then told me that she sent up towels to the wrong room an hour ago. Now I knew that these were all lies and I was just trapped in this mess. I tried calling Hilton's customer service line but the voice mail box was full. I tried calling the Hilton Honors and it was no help either so now, I will post my issue to warn any other person who may be trying to get reservations here. Don't!
The pictures give a false impression of this place. It is behind an old Burger King and nail shop. It is not near the beaches like it says. It is definitely not worth the price. A Sleep in is next door and looks as good and I bet that it is less than the $269.00 per night this dump is. This place needs all new management, name change or to close. This was the worst stay and worst hospitality shown in many years. This is low level untrained fast food type service. Just think, a hotel that does not have a manager after 7:00 pm and no cleaning people. This should become a motel chain.

On June 22nd, I booked a room at the Meridian MS Hampton Inn for the night of June 26th. I put in my address and other information. My credit card was accepted and I received a reservation number. When my sister and I arrived at the hotel, I checked in and gave them my credit card which they gladly accepted. As the clerk was entering the information, he asked me what brought me to Meridian. I replied that I lived here. I was promptly told by another clerk that it was company policy not to rent to locals.
I explained that my sister and I had been in north MS attending a birthday celebration for our 97-year old aunt and we were staying there before she returned to her home on the Gulf Coast. We visit this same aunt about every three months and stay one night at the Hampton in Tupelo and one night in Meridian. I have stayed at this same hotel several times without this issue. It was only when I had my sister give them her address that they would rent us the room. They had no problem using my credit card.
My sister and I are both in our mid sixties. We are educated, articulate people. I was appalled! I would have walked out except I knew that due to two large events taking place, there were no other rooms available. I live 25 miles from the hotel and we were trying to stay next to the interstate so that she would not have to drive back into Meridian. I suppose if someone's home burns down or the air conditioning goes out and they live in the Meridian area, they are out of luck!

I recently stayed at the Hampton Inn in S. Richmond. I am a Hilton Honors member but now reconsidering using another brand. The stay started out good. This is a newer hotel I booked 2 rooms for 3 nights. During our stay we had a couple of issues. NO internet service in any of the rooms. One of the rooms did not get cleaned and the other was partially cleaned one day. I overlooked the rooms being cleaned, figured it was an oversight on housekeeping since they were already cleaning our floor when we left that day.
I did contact the front desk to ask if the internet was down since we had no service in any of the rooms and was told it was fine, but they would reset it. That did not work. I then went to the desk and had the receptionist attempt to connect me from my iPad. That did not work. I asked the young lady to please look into it and leave me a message to know if the problem was fixed or not. She never did! When I checked out the person at the front desk never asked how my stay was - nothing very unusual for a Hilton hotel.
When I returned home I received a survey about my stay. I rarely fill these out, but because of the issues I had I did, never thinking that it went to the hotel itself... Well it does and the "GM" contacted me. After telling her that we were disappointed with our stay she offered to refund 1 night for both rooms, and I agreed. However, that is not what happened. I was only refunded 1 night for 1 room. Irritated, I called back and asked for a complete refund based on Hampton Inn's policy that if you are not 100% satisfied, you don't pay. I was told that they look at each circumstance and make a decision on whether or not you should be issued a refund. False advertisement!
So I have spoken to several managers including the Regional and his boss and they are not willing to refund my stay although this is the policy. The GM went ahead and without my consent refunded 1 room, but not both, and their position is that I should be satisfied with that and oh well. So agitated and disgusted with the representation of the Hilton brand. I don't even want to stay at this chain ever again.... Never had nor wish to experience this again from any brand!

I have never ever experienced anything this horrible at any Hilton brand hotel in my career! As a long time loyal member of Hilton brand hotels, I thought it important I share my weekend stay at the Amelia Island Hampton Inn. I checked in late Thursday night with two rooms. Upon arrival, the city was sold out for a festival. The gal at the desk was answering phones, checking guests in and acting as a concierge. She checked me in quickly not recognizing me as a Hilton Gold nor welcomed me in anyway. I presented my tax exemption and credit card with the tax exempt number printed on front. She did not acknowledge and simply handed me a piece of paper to initial while she quickly answered phones - pointing to spots for me to initial while talking.
I took my keys for two rooms. As I entered room my room, I was overcome by the smell of mildew and mold. Since this was a beach hotel I excused it thinking it was caused by wet bathing suits. I headed for the ladies room and was shocked when I closed the door. The wall behind the door has visible mildew and the back of the door is caked in some kind of smeared grease/dirt, spilled drink and more. The floor and bathtub had quite a bit of short hair, pubic hair and soap still in tub and the sink had toothpaste in it. I went back down to the front desk to share the condition of my room and was told it would be cleaned right away in the morning. I told the clerk I was sure the room was occupied or the room was never cleaned. There was still trash in the basket. I was told the room passed inspection. So I went on back to my room, sure I was not seeing things. I was not offered a new room.
I checked on the room for my staff next. This room did not have the moldy smell or visible mold on the wall. However, the bed was soaking wet.... as in the sheets were still wet from the wash. We were given towels to place on the bed until morning which worked, we were okay with this. The room was clean but the wet bed was tough to look over.
On Friday morning, I past the housekeeper in the hall (Heather? Blond, missing front teeth). I told her about my room and was told she personally cleaned the room but would go back and redo the bathroom. I came back Friday afternoon and the room had been cleaned this time but the mold was still very smelly and visible on wall in bath, the back of the bath door still covered in all kinds of yucky buildup and spots of coffee and hair behind the bathroom door. She left me a note telling me how sorry she was and thanked me for the tip I left her. The second room was given fresh dry sheets so we were okay at this point.
Friday afternoon my keys did not work. After having them re-keyed I entered my room and smelled not only the mold but male aftershave. The sink was wet and so was the shower which I had not used, and the room had already been cleaned prior to my leaving. I immediately told the same housekeeper who said there was no way someone was or had been in my room. I brushed it off but never lost the feeling that someone had been in my room bathing. Nothing was missing so I went about my day.
Friday night (maybe Sat?) I had a sweet tooth, went downstairs to find the sundry and was told by the gentleman at the front desk there was a vending machine around the corner. I saw the chocolate Toblerone in the display case and asked if I could buy it. With a very sour face and pursed lips, I was told those were strictly for Gold members..... which I am and still had not been recognized as such. He was very mean about it as if I could not possibly think I was worthy of being gold status. Embarrassed I went back to my room.
Saturday morning was quite an event as I am sure you heard about the theft of a new toy from a little girl in our party by another hotel guest. The toy was taken off her breakfast table as she had her back turned. As she cried and cried the staff joined us in the breakfast room, assisted by offering to roll back video to identify the thief and finding the man once identified. The front desk agent stated he stopped by the desk but she could not remember what room he was in but would recognize him if she saw him again.
While this was all happening it turned out the entire time the man was sitting right next to us! Touching distance! He was watching the entire event play out, the crying, the talk of video, the security guard etc. He was watching us! Finally the man stood up, looked that 7 year old in the eye with anger and shouted "For God's Sake I took the toy. It is for my daughter. Will $25 do??" Shouting at her! He still did not make an attempt to retrieve the item from his room where he had hidden it until one of the mama bears unleashed her fury. There were two more women ready to shred him with our fingernails.
At this point he angrily went back to his room to get the item. This went on for more than 30 minutes. How was he sitting next to us if the agent said she would recognize him? Upset, we went to our room with the children. There was no follow up from security or the front desk to let us know if we were safe. We did not know if this man was waiting for us outside or if he was going to hurt the kids since he mumbled several racial slurs. (The child is mixed race). No follow up. None.
Saturday night I lay in bed stressing over my billing. I had a feeling it was not going to be right so I dressed and went downstairs to review my tax exemption etc. I was told by the agent she is not very good with computers and proceeded to ask me to wait for the night auditor who would be there in 10 minutes. I waited. The night auditor looked at my credit card and began talking about exceptions ending in certain numbers etc. I told her to make a copy of the front of my government card with the numbers printed on the card so I could go on to bed. I also confirmed my room 226 would be a master bill for both rooms. She confirmed everything was alright.
Later that night, I was in bed and heard my door click sounding like key being inserted. I stay at hotels most of my time and know people sometimes get the wrong room so I was not startled at first. However, my door opened. Frozen I laid quietly and the door closed again. No one came in. I never went back to sleep. Because I still smelled man smells and check into what appeared to be an occupied room, I thought it possible there were more than myself using the room. I was again told by the front desk it was impossible someone had been in my room.
Sunday, I packed and checked all dresser drawer to verify if my roomie had left any clothing. I found the second drawer to be full of male clothing! The cloths stunk of cologne and mildew (the smell discovered). I went to the front desk with the clothing where I met my first manager since my arrival and let me tell you, I certainly did not appreciate her sarcasm with a smile, as the guest behind me described her. I showed her the clothing and she said "I know the man who was there. He checked out Thursday and you checked in Thursday." Ummmm yes ma'am that is correct but.... cut off again by a cold stare and a "but what".
I began to share with her my experience, the condition of the room and the fear we had of the disgruntled guest who stole from us but was promptly cutoff with this; "and you're just now saying something". Sarcasm-Smile. I was shocked! I explained to her the many complaints I shared with staff from the moment we arrived. At that point, she cut me off again handing me a white pad of paper telling me it was a guest satisfaction form. I asked why? "Because you want me to take off a room night and I need this to do it" she said. I replied I did not want anything except to let her know what was going on in her hotel. She smiled with an unpleasant glare and again asked me to fill out the form. I said no, that was not my motive.
I then checked my bill and saw it was not a master account and let her know I needed to put both rooms on one bill for one charge on my card. Smile "did you let them know this when you checked in." A smile cannot hide the tone of the voice. A long line had formed behind me so I stepped aside while she checked out other guests, answered phones and other duties. It took me almost an hour to check out.
Finally, I asked if I could stay in room 228 until noon since it did not smell like mold. She again embarrassed me by saying "Well we don't like to do this but I can let you stay in one room until noon." This is when I finally told a staff member I am Gold. She did not seem to care. We just left at this point since it was clear we were not welcomed.
Ms. **, the only reason I am not a diamond is because I used some of my points. I know the kind of treatment I get as a loyal member and I assure you I have never been treated like this before. I have never written a letter of complaint before because I realize things can happen but I have never had such a horrible stay at any hotel before either. At this time, I respectfully ask for a full refund for one of the two rooms beginning May 1-May 4, 2014 for the following reasons:
1. Safety was compromised by a theft and confrontation by the guest who stole from us. There was no follow up by FD or security and no other hotel to check in due to a sold out week.2. Room 226 has visible mold on wall in bathroom. Mold spores can be dangerous.
3. Room 226 had male clothing in drawers of dresser.
4. Room 226 smelled strongly of mildew and mold.
5. Wet shower with pubic and head hair, wet sink with traces of toothpaste.
6. Billing problems at checkout although billing was addressed more than once prior to check-out including waiting in the lobby for the night auditor per the FD agent.
7. Front desk staff not available to assist in-house guests due to sell out weekend and not being staffed properly to answer phones and provide assistance.
8. Front desk manager shoving a paper pad to fill out rather than listening to my situation. Front desk manager being disrespectful of my needs and cutting me off when I spoke, rolling her eyes and going out of her way to let me know I was a nuisance to her.
9. Not recognized as a gold member, unable to secure gold level privileges such as a new room, not allowed to purchase snack and scolded by front desk manager for complaining.
Update: Spoke with GM today who let me know right away she would not remove the charges for my room.

The television uses Dish Network to acquire its programming and when the weather outside is bad so is the programming. Instead of using a cable service the hotel chooses to get its programs from Dish Network which doesn't work well when it’s cloudy or raining. This happened to me in my last stay. I called the front desk and they said there was nothing that could be done. They also said that they often received complaints when the weather was bad but management was adamant about using the Dish Network instead of cable. This mean the hotel management knows that they can't guarantee television programming when the weather outside is cloudy or raining but they continue to use Dish Network. It's one thing when a hotel makes a mistake. That occurs by accident. In this case, management has decided to alright to deliver faulty service in order to save a couple of bucks. That's poor service and no hotel should be able to get away with lying to its clients. Don't stay at this hotel.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn on Olympia Ave in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure my room was satisfactory. Everyone I encountered, from the manager to the front desk to the employees in the breakfast area, were friendly, efficient and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. It was a great experience and I would recommend this location to anyone coming to the Tulsa area.

When I went to check in on 3/19 at the Hampton Inns in Minnetonka, I arrived about 5 minutes early. Stephanie at the front desk made it seem like a big deal because check-in time is 3PM. She had to call to make sure the room was ready. I can't believe that 5 minutes early is really that big of a deal to have her huff and puff and stomp over to the phone to call housekeeping. Most hotels I've stayed at accommodate me if I get there 30 minutes early or more. Stephanie needs to drop the attitude. There are plenty of hotels in the area. I could easily take my business elsewhere.

I had booked a room for my daughter and I at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Charlotte-Airport (2731 Little Rock Road, Charlotte, NC, US 28214) so we could visit a college that she was interested in attending. I did book the flight through Kayak. One week before the trip, she suffered a concussion in a training accident at her school and was therefore unable to fly. I was told that the Hampton Inn could not cancel my reservation even for a medical condition. I understand that they have a policy when booking through these travel sites, but I believe it is unfair under our circumstances. We will not be staying at any of their hotels and will advice our friends to do the same.

The weekend of July 20th, my boyfriend and I stayed at the Hampton Inn in North Brunswick, NJ. We stayed at the hotel for two nights. After the first night, we woke up and went to the beach. I didn't put the Do Not Disturb holder on the door because I thought our belongings would be safe while the cleaning people cleaned the room. We went to the Jersey shore and when we returned, my boyfriend noticed the missing jewelry. The jewelry missing was a pair of 1ct. diamond earrings and a gold necklace with a cross & medallion on it. My boyfriend put the jewelry in a cup in the corner of the desk. As soon as we realized the jewelry was missing, I called the front desk who told me that nothing could be done because a manager wasn't in and the people who cleaned the room left for the day. I would have to wait till the following morning.
The following morning there was a knock at the door but not to solve the problem, for the cleaning people to "clean" again. I called down to the Front Desk where I was informed the head housekeeper would come talk to me. The lady who cleaned my room didn't remember any jewelry. The head housekeeper said she would go through the weekend trash bags to see if she could find it because the housekeeper who cleaned the room said she did not take it. The head housekeeper did not find it, so I called the desk to call the police so I could file a formal police report. I filed the report and the officer even told me they have multiple problems at this hotel. Since this date in July, I have been in contact with the general manager, Nadine. For the following two months she basically told me they were investigating the matter and it would be solved. The police report stated that the housekeeper believed she threw away the jewelry by accident. Nadine refunded me for half of my stay.
I was certain that the Hampton Inn had a 100% satisfaction guarantee but I guess that is not the case. In the last two weeks, Nadine told me the owners were not going to do anything after the long "investigation". I contacted the owners twice in hopes of a call back and they never called me back. Not only was I out over $1,000 in jewelry that I cannot get anymore, I wasn't even given a proper refund! During the stay at this horrible hotel, the fire alarm was pulled 4 times in the matter of a night due to whatever children the Hampton always had to stay at their establishment. As the fire alarm continued to go off between the hours of 2-4 am, some other kids broke a fire extinguisher in which the Fire department had to come and air out the hotel floor.
I would have been better off sleeping in my car for the two days than staying at this hotel. I got no sleep, the housekeeper admitted to tossing away expensive jewelry and the hotel management/owners couldn't care less. During my initial conversations with Nadine she told me everything would be done in the investigating and I would get compensated - no such thing happened. Something needs to be done about this matter because it was handled in a completely ridiculous way.

I recently stayed in the Hampton Inn Newberry, SC this past weekend for our family reunion. I am very disappointed with our stay and how it was handled. Yes, everyone expressed how sorry they were but nothing was done about it. I originally reserved a king suite and when my family and I arrived, it was not available. Furthermore, we were not informed prior to our arrival. This compromised the quality of our stay, in fact, it altered it. I actually saw suites that were vacant on 7/28 in the morning and no one ever suggested that we could move into those rooms. The bathrooms had no working fans and the room's thermostat was not working properly so every time we re-entered the room from our festivities, the room would be very warm and uncomfortable. I understand now that my great aunt was above me and she had a very warm room as well.
It is my belief that the Hampton Inn should have made an effort to offer us a comp of some sort or a discounted stay at a participating hotel - something that would address the fact that the quality of our vacation was compromised. I work in a field which allows me to stay in very well graded hotels and I have never had a hotel not address complaints or when a guest has been inconvenienced and not do everything professionally possible to make their stay more comfortable. I recently sent an email correspondence to the Director of Sales, Joan **, and again she apologized about any inconvenience and offered me a gift certificate to stay in the Hampton Inn Newberry, SC. But her lengthy email response tone was very unapologetic.
I do not plan to visit the Newberry, SC location any time soon so the gift certificate is really worthless. However, I wanted to make the Hilton/Hampton corporate office aware of the less than comfortable stay my family experienced as well as the poor customer service. Extremely disappointed. Thank you.

I unknowingly used travelnow.com or Reservation-desk.com (not sure which but have gotten emails from both) to book a night at Hampton Inn. When I went to check out, the hotel could not or would not provide a statement or receipt saying the online service was the only one who had it and to get a bill from them. The Hotel Customer Service level was very poor and the manager acted like she didn't give a dam. She gave me a blank sheet of paper for my receipt and laughed about it. Never use an online reservation service like travelnow.com or reservation-desk.com. Both seem to be running a scam. They hit your credit card the day you call in, not the day of your reservation, so you wind up paying for the room 3 or 4 weeks before you even are at the Hampton Inn. I will never stay at the Hampton Inn again, truly bad service.

I booked a stay through Hotels.com to stay in The Woodlands Hampton Inn. The concert I was going to see was canceled, but I had already paid for the room. I tried to cancel my room through Hotels.com and they said it was non-refundable. I felt rather victimized, since it was not my fault the concert was canceled. I called Hampton to see if I could push out my reservation in order to use it at another time. The clerk said she would push it out a few months, and if I hadn't used it by then, just keep calling back and she would do it again until I had the chance to come for another concert.
I was going to go back on July 14th to see a concert, but South Texas is having major flooding and raining this week, and will be throughout that weekend, so I can't go after all. I called to push the reservation out again, and the manager said she wouldn't do it. I said I had already paid and it wouldn't be any different if I had just made a regular reservation and was postponing it for whatever reason. She said she had already done it 3 times. I asked her what difference that made because she wasn't losing any money over it, and it would be good customer service to a loyal customer like me. I stay there every time I go to a concert. She just basically said she didn't care. Personally, I don't see what the difference is if I go this weekend or at the end of the year. She said the prices change. I told her I'd gladly pay the difference, but just didn't want to lose money unnecessarily. She refused without an acceptable reason in my opinion. She just didn't want to bother with me, and was very ugly about it.
Pressing a few keystrokes to postpone a reservation is not much effort to keep a patron from losing a lot of money. She said she hadn't gotten any money from Hotels.com. I told her that when I stay there, she will get the money I have already paid them. She brushed me off and gave me an 800 number to call. What's the point? A little effort and compassion is expected from a manager to keep the customers coming back. Word of mouth referrals for good customer service is the very best advertisement!

Do not stay at this hotel, Hampton Inn, Woodbridge, NJ. I am a frequent traveler and our company will use Hilton or Marriott. This was a social stay for 1 night. I made reservations well in advance for my suite. I contacted the hotel at 7:00 a.m. the day of check-in and spoke with the front desk to see if it would be okay if my mother would be able to check in early without me, just in case she arrived at the hotel before I did. I was traveling from Maryland and my mother from Connecticut. I contacted the hotel numerous times while driving to ensure that my mother would be able to check in and also if I would be able to be placed closer to my brother.
My mother arrived 1.5 hours earlier than I did and she was informed that she could not check in because the room was not ready. It would be roughly 30 minutes longer. My mother is 83 years old with a walker; the staff was not kind to her. Instead of accommodating her, she went to the 4th floor to my brother's room to wait. They never called her about the room. When I arrived, around 3:00 - 3:15 p.m. to check in, I was still told I could not check in because the room was not clean. Of course, I am furious. I was told that the room would not be ready for an additional 30 minutes.
I went upstairs to my brother's small room where there were 4 of us in a king bedroom, trying to get prepared for an event that evening. A few minutes later, I was called to come back downstairs, the room was ready. I went to the counter, gave the agent my credit card. I asked her if I needed to sign something, I was told no. I had to help my mother from the 4th floor to the 2nd floor, the staff put my suite at the other end of the hall, no place close to the elevator. So, after the event, we returned to our room. I pulled out the sofa bed and the sheets were not changed. Yuck! At 12:00 a.m., I went back downstairs to complain and got new sheets. I went back upstairs with the sheets only to find they were not the correct size sheets for that bed.
I was too exhausted to go back downstairs. That morning, I noticed there was no bill under my door. I called the front desk. They said, "No problem, I'll check you out and email that bill." Needless to say, I never received that bill. I spoke with the assistant general manager for the property. I received, "I am sorry, I am surprised the staff did not offer you another room, etc." When I arrived home, I was checking a few things online and realized that Justin did not charge the credit card given to the girl but the debit card on file, creating a large enough hold on my bank account that the next day checks were returned.
Hours with the asst. general manager, Mike **, via emails and not until I threatened to go to the BBB and file a business complaint with the state of NJ with my cc and the top executives at Hampton Inn, did he agree to come to an agreement. One week later, I am still fighting with them to cover the fees. I have submitted paperwork to the NJ BBB and I will now file a business complaint with the State of New Jersey to have this corrected.

At the time of booking, management and staff were clearly told that each guest would pay their own room. They agreed to a reduced rate of $99 per night per room. The block of rooms was not booked correctly. As guests started calling in for reservations, they found that the block did not exist, that a previous registration had been cancelled, or that the rate was not honored.
My wife and/or I made at least four trips to the motel to fix the administrative problems. Each time, we were told that the problem was fixed, and each time the problems continued. The groom's guests got angry at us for giving them what at the time they thought was incorrect information. My brother's reservations were cancelled twice out of the blue. Upon check out, all of the groom side's rooms were charged to my credit card, because the front desk failed to ask for a credit card when they checked in. It took several calls to the credit card company and the motel to fix that problems.
As everyone knows, the days right before a wedding are busy and stressful. There is no time to play games with the staff and management of Hampton Inn. This motel advertises making weddings easier. What they did was make the task at hand much more difficult. We spent time putting out these fires that could have been spent making this a special day for our daughter and her husband. There is no excuse for such a slipshod operation. I filed a complaint with corporate, and also am going to file with the BBB, and any other forum I can think of. I think a full refund and credit for all the nights in the block is in order.

We travel a lot and it was not the first time a hotel had to change accommodations for me or for us, but it was the first time that we were lied to. We had a nice stay in the hotel and there were no open questions during check-out (we were told).

Recently, on a trip to Temecula, California to bury my wife's mother, we experienced a level of customer service so poor. I felt compelled to let as many people know about it as is humanly possible. Our adventure began at the Hampton Inn on Jefferson Street in Temecula, California. Please note that the facilities were actually very nice and the front desk personnel were well trained (Karen and Nadia were phenomenal). Chris, in the sales department, also did a great job. That said, the target of this complaint is the properties general manager, Nadine **.
On January 1st, 2011 my mother-in-law passed away peacefully in her sleep. Mom was a community leader and a mover and shaker within the city of Temecula, California. A great many people attended her services, and an even greater number at her reception/celebration of life afterwards. After mom died, my wife and I flew directly from Atlanta, Georgia to Ontario, California driving on to Temecula. Over the next few days, we arranged mom's funeral services, which also included reserving rooms for incoming family. I was in charge of that task, as I am the one who schedules all my wife's job related travel out of Atlanta. My wife is a Hilton Honors Gold level member who travels for her work about one out of every three weeks. And, to this point, she has always had good experiences at Hilton hotels.
Not knowing what hotels there were in Temecula, I jumped on line and did a quick search. I immediately found the Hampton Inn. I called to see if we could secure a price break of some sort. It's because I had a feeling we might be needing more than just a few rooms. I spoke with Chris in the sales department and he was great. He offered a fair discount. I told him I would call as soon as I had an exact number of rooms needed.
On Thursday, January 6th, my wife and I came to the hotel with a list of names, so we could pre-register our guests and arrange payment (we paid for all their rooms). Karen helped with check-in and was a joy to work with. Because we wanted to pay for the rooms before our guests checked in, Karen had to leave the front desk area to ask Miss ** (I assume) what the process was for charging our credit card before our guests arrived. Miss ** (again, I assume) explained the process to Karen. And she began checking people in and charging our credit card (Miss **, if it was her, never left her office to come to the front desk). It was going to take a while. So, Karen said she would send receipts to me via email. We also made sure to inform Karen that our guest list was somewhat fluid and there might be additions for Thursday and Friday.
The credit card we gave Karen was my mother-in-law's credit card. It was a Wells Fargo Visa card with a $25,500.00 credit limit. I don't have a lot of experience with the law as it applies to a family member's death. And my wife had power of attorney and was a signee on mom's Wells Fargo bank account. So, we figured we could use her credit card to handle most of the expenses relating to her funeral (keeping it all organized and buying a little time to settle the estate). Later that morning, I began receiving confirmations via email that the rooms were paid for. On Friday morning, January 7th, one of our guests told us that another couple had arrived at the hotel but they weren't able to check in. I was a little puzzled. I immediately called the hotel thinking I had screwed up by not including their name on the list of Friday check-ins. I think I again spoke with Karen who told me there was a problem with the credit card and she needed to transfer me to the manager (once again Karen was very pleasant).
We had used the credit card to pay for a number of expenses the day before (obituary, catering, rooms, etc.). When we tried to use it at the funeral home Thursday night to pay those fees, however, the charges were rejected. My wife spoke with a credit card representative who explained that regardless of her power of attorney and signing privileges on mom's bank account, the credit card was now canceled. Not being able to use the card wasn't really a big deal. We had other forms of payment and immediately settled with the funeral home. Neither of us were sure if the charges posted earlier in the day would be honored. But we figured that if there was a problem, we could take care of them as they came up just like we had with the mortuary.
Upon being transferred to Miss **, I started to explain what had happened. Because we were in the process of getting ready for mom's services, I knew I needed to keep things short. So, I planned on giving her the paraphrased version of the story (and offer another form of payment). I was no more than a sentence into the conversation when Miss ** abruptly cut me off. In an extremely condescending manner, I was told she knew the whole story, didn't have time to hear it again, and could I get to the part about how she was going to get paid. I was stunned! Every gesture of good will generated by the Hampton Inn staff was dismantled in less than 15 seconds. And it was done by the properties general manager, Nadine **. Because I knew immediately what kind of person I was dealing with, I started dishing out the same level of insolence, cutting her off more than a few times in an equally condescending and rude tone. I asked (abruptly) if I could give her another credit card over the phone. But I was told I could only do it in person. I told her I would not be in until after the services and the reception. But I would be in. That was the end of the call.
After hanging up, one of mom's sisters informed me that earlier in the morning, Miss ** had a run in of some sort with another of our family members regarding payment for the rooms and that discussion hadn't been a positive one. I am not 100% clear on what, if anything, actually took place or was said between our guests and Miss **. But I will be calling everyone involved to find out exactly what happened so I can post it later.
Later that evening, after burying my wife's mother, I arrived at the hotel to pay the bill. The front desk clerk, Nadine, like Karen before her, was sensational. She was aware of the issue and even apologized, inferring that Miss **'s behavior wasn't all that shocking (she didn't actually say those words, but a deaf and blind man could read between the lines). Guess what happened next? Miss ** had told Nadine that all the charges previously rung up could remain on my mother-in-law's credit card. I only had to take care of the two rooms that hadn't already been paid for. I guess it's because the credit card company had approved the charges in the first place. They were going to honor them. Isn't that amazing? A new level of poor customer service was achieved by the general manager, after I had already spent more than $1,000.00 at her hotel all over two rooms. And she wasn't smart enough, professional enough, and brave enough to call me and apologize for her behavior (I would have welcomed her call and that would have been that).
The next morning, I sent an email to Hilton's complaint department, detailing our experience and telling them what steps needed to be followed to rectify the situation. Apparently, Hilton has a policy that allows the property in question to try to resolve guest complaints. That's real sweet. But under no circumstances am I going to allow Miss ** to handle her own complaint. This woman brought my wife to tears on the day she was burying her mother. Her actions will not be swept under the carpet because Hilton's complaint department is too lazy and stupid to address the problem in the manner I requested. Until this situation is resolved, I would recommend that anyone and everyone avoid this hotel like the plague.

Full disclosure - the information we received when we booked the hotel stated they have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Saturday, January 1, 2011, night was terrible for our family as my kids were sick and vomiting all night long and consequently we could not make our trip.
We called hotels.com early in the morning and they stated that they had no problem providing the refund under the circumstances. However, they needed the approval of the GM of the property. The GM, Mr. Michael **, was contacted and he would not approve the refund because we did not cancel within 24 hours. We explained to the hotel that we could not have possibly foreseen the Saturday night events and that we still wanted to stay at the hotel at a later date, however, they will still not approve the refund. In fact in my opinion, the hotel staff seemed uncaring and unhelpful and couldn't care less about our circumstance.
The Guest Services toll free number was of no help and their staff seemed just as uncaring. After my third call to the Guest Services number, I finally reached someone who seemed to care, however, she was unable to help me.
I called the hotel again on January 3rd to speak to Mr. **, but unfortunately he was not in. Instead, I was put through to the manager on duty by the name of Binny. After him not being able to help and satisfy my issue, and once again a Parsippany/North staff member who seemed to care less, he proceeded to use profanity and go off on an F-bomb tirade towards me. Obviously, I was shocked.
Once Mr. ** heard of this conversation, his reply was not of apology or even concern. He blamed me as Binny had obviously lied about the conversation in order to make himself look better. Regardless, a hotel manager telling me to ** and go ** yourself. Are you kidding me?
I have been met with nothing but poor customer service at almost every turn from the Parsippany / North NJ hotel itself to almost every person that I have talked to in Guest Services at the Hampton Inn/Hilton. I even had someone I know personally call anonymously to the hotel to ask a question that I thought might help me and the Parsippany / North staff member who answered the phone was also rude to them. I have no idea what is going on there, but I strongly suggest that you stay away from this hotel. I can only imagine if I would have stayed there and I had a problem in the middle of the night with one of my kids.

I stayed in room 121 on 08-12-10 and was bitten almost 100 times by bedbugs! When I complained, the manager said hotel had a problem with bugs. My room was infested by bedbugs, I have scars from the bites
The manager promised to take care of the matter, but then refused to speak to me, saying issue was "forwarded" to insurance company. I have heard nothing from my complaint. I was over-billed for room, and not credited for two nights. They even billed me for someone else's room, and have not corrected it. I am allergic to the bites, and have suffered swelling, scars, and damage to all my clothes and goods.

The wedding party for my daughter's wedding was booked to stay at the Hampton Inn for 3 nights. We were there Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights on May 20-23, 2010. My husband told me the tub/shower was slippery, so I took a bath the night before the wedding. Upon attempting to stand up, I put my hand on the edge of the tub and as I stood my hand slipped and I came down on my rib cage. I sat and iced it for a few minutes and tried again. I made it to standing and stepped one foot out onto the bath mat. As I lifted the other foot over the edge, I slipped again and hit my upper thigh very hard. I had a bruise at least 6 inches around on my thigh and I believe I broke a rib.
The maid of honor's little boy slipped in his bathroom and hit his head on the inside of the tub the same night. I talked to the desk clerk and he said they spray something on the tub after cleaning it and he asked if I was alright. I told him I was hurting and he again asked if I was alright. There was no report made. I got the impression from him that this was not uncommon. I am 56 years old and have never slipped in a tub before. Whatever they use in the tubs needs to be discontinued before someone dies in there. I was afraid to bathe again until we left the hotel. My husband said it was less slippery the third day since we didn't have room service.
I have a huge bruise on the back side of my thigh and pain. My rib cage on the upper left side is still tender after 10 days and I can't lay on that side, lift anything heavier than my purse and I can't reach up with my left arm without pain. It feels like I have a baseball in my left side just below my breast. I work in a pet store and regularly lift up to 40 pound bags. I can't do that now and my activity at work has been limited. I plan to try to get an x-ray now that the holiday weekend is over.
