I was a Diamond member and I quit using Hilton altogether due to their consistent bad service. Strangely enough, they didn't care-- proving that I made the right decision. It doesn't matter how much you spend with this company, they will still treat you like crap.

Traveling from the Redwood Forest to Yosemite with my wife and two kids I thought the perfect place to stop and stay the night would be the historic National Hotel in Jackson CA. I booked two adjoining balcony rooms overlooking the old downtown Main Street several months prior to our planed visit. We arrived at the National Hotel after a long six hour driver ready to rest and see the sites of the old gold mining town. Upon check in we were told there was a problem with our reservation and that the adjoining rooms we reserved were not available. I provided my confirmation number to which the woman behind the counter replied yes I know “I’m the one who took your reservation but we gave it to someone else.” While I was upset I politely moved forward and we had just travel a long distance and we were exhausted. I asked if they had two other adjoining rooms to accommodate our stay.
After a couple of minutes she came back with “I can get you into rooms 302 and 306, they’re close together, just one room separating them.” I explained the reason I booked adjoining rooms is because I was traveling with two children. Unfortunately she had no solution. I stepped outside to see if I could find appropriate accommodations elsewhere and ended up booking an additional night at the Firefly Ranch at our final destination outside of Yosemite.
I returned to the check-in area to find the manager engaged in conversation with my wife. He stated “we do have other adjoining rooms” but was quickly corrected by the woman helping us that they were already taken to which he replied “well we do have other adjoining adjoining rooms just not for you.” I told them we would be moving on to which the woman replied she would see if she could refund our stay which eventually she did.
When we returned from vacation I reached out to Hilton, explained the situation and asked if they could assist in way of a credit due to the fact the ordeal caused not only disappointment and extended our already long drive but over $300 more than we budgeted due to the last minute change in accommodations. The first reply from Hilton offered an apology and assurances that we were not charged for the room. I responded asking if they could help offset the costs with a credit for an upcoming Hilton reservation we had and provided the confirmation number for our upcoming stay. I received a response almost a week later stating that they could offer me 10,000 Hilton Honors points, the equivalent of $55.
So here we are writing a long review because of poor customer service all the way around from Hilton, despite several efforts to come to a fair resolution. Bottom line. Hilton failed to provide a fair resolution at every turn despite their egregious error. Hiltons knows how to take the reservation they just don’t know how to HOLD the reservation.

Hilton Honors member for many years - Called to ask a few questions about how to use points and free night bonus and was transferred to the ‘vacation club’- been there done that, so I knew what to ask - bought the package based on a lie - after reviewing the call, I was correct but they wouldn’t honor what was said - they blamed it on those “overzealous salespeople” (which was my profession for over 40 years) - bumped from diamond to gold in April, and now this… Thanks Hilton!

Unfortunately, I booked through a second party. Regardless, being a Hilton Honors member, I relied on Hilton Honors. I realized at the time of booking that the room selection was given at check-in. That is why I called ahead after booking with a request of two beds. They said it would not be a problem. However, here I am in an uncomfortable situation with a king bed and a guest sleeping on the ground. Disappointed!

Booked a hotel, direct not third party, at Homewood Suites South Loop Chicago in March 2026 for an 8-night stay in their largest suite, as we are a family of 5, for $375 a night. July 21-29. Called the hotel directly on July 15 as flights changed and informed the hotel we will be arriving July 22. Have a confirmation email with that. Go to the hotel at 8 pm on July 22 and was informed we were considered no-shows and were to arrive July 21. Front desk confirmed they made this change on July 15, and then their records show 2 minutes later the date was changed by Hilton booking back to July 21. The front desk also said the computer shows this reservation date was changed several times after that, not by me, and again I have the correct confirmation number email with correct dates. We find out the hotel is full and all the hotels in the area are as well.
Called Hilton hoping they can put us somewhere in the city as we having crying, tired children. They finally seemed to look for us and then said they had 2 rooms (not even near each other again, small children so my husband and I will have to split up). The hotel on the other side of the loop we would have to take a cab to. This hotel is certainly not an upgrade and then said okay it will be $6800 for the week after 2 hours on the phone with them, so now it’s 10:30 pm in Chicago with a family of 5 and no where to go unless we pay double, meanwhile I did everything Hilton would have asked of me as a customer: booked directly, called well in advance of a change, and they just canceled my reservation.
The only reason we had a place to stay that night is because a man in the lobby felt so bad he gave us his one-bedroom room!! (Another lady felt so terrible, so was trying to use her points to get us a hotel). I still had to pay $600 for the night. I am unsure where we can stay tomorrow and the next 6 nights. I spoke with Supervisor Sam ** Employee No. **
This appears to be some sort of computer error, and it fully reverted back to the old after my phone call, and then I was canceled. I feel I was being price gouged for thousands of dollars since I need somewhere at 10:30 to take my 3 young children. Sorry for the typos; this is 12 am and I am scared about finding somewhere tomorrow to sleep.

I recently canceled at reservation at Parsippany Hampton Inn NJ because I was staying at Parsippany Hampton Inn/Hilton and because I did not receive a cancellation number and tried to dispute the charges, I will have to pay around 600.00 for a place I did not even stay at. I have been a Hilton Honors member for 19 years and never had this experience. It is impossible to stay at two places at the same time. The manager at the Hilton one even talked to one of the staff explaining how to do this. Never stay at this hotel; it is horrible. So very disappointed in Hilton; my business will now go to a Marriott.

Reservation for Hampton Inn located at 4820 Port Loop Road, Southport, NC. Upon arrival, we we told that we could not receive our honorable point, Military discount, or Senior discount. I called the Corporate office and was told the same thing. Reason was that we went through a third party. We called the number that was associated with the Hotel and city.

I have stayed with Hilton Hotels for as long as I can remember which is approximately 20 plus years and have never had such a horrendous experience this: My husband and I booked a room at Home2 for a family reunion the weekend of July fourth. Check in July 3, check out July 5. Before leaving home, I called Home2 to confirm our reservation. After driving twelve hours to get there, we arrived and they could not find the reservation. Tired, hot, hungry and exhausted, we had to scramble around trying to find another place to stay, needless to say, everything was booked due to the holiday weekend. We ended up staying with a relative. Around 11:00pm the same night the night shift hotel clerk phoned saying they found our reservation and that we could return. I informed her that we were in bed and would be in the following day to check in.
The next afternoon July 4th we checked in without issues; however, we had no hot water the room smelled of wet dogs and Hotel2 refused to compensate us in any way for the day they could not find our reservation. I am totally and utterly disgusted and disappointed with this hotel chain. After returning home I was on the phone with customer service from 11:17am until 3:23pm, spoke to nine different people and they still refuse to compensate us in any way. However, I did speak to the hotel clerk at Home2 and to quote her "I will see if I can get you some rewards points for not having hot water, but I can't guarantee anything, because it wasn't our fault, our hot water heat had went out." End of quote!! Based on this experience I would not Recommend!!

This review is for Hilton Hotels & Resorts regarding a reward night reservation at Villa Neri Resort & Spa in Sicily, booked through Hilton's chat channel, the only method available for that reservation. At no point during booking was I informed of a one week cancellation policy. I requested cancellation the same day I booked, four full days before the stay. The hotel's front desk confirmed the cancellation by phone. That same evening, the hotel emailed me reversing that confirmation, stating they were unable to process the cancellation themselves and that it needed to be handled by Hilton's Diamond desk. Hilton's Diamond desk then told me the opposite, that the cancellation had to be processed by the hotel.
I spent two separate evenings going back and forth between the hotel and Hilton, with neither side taking responsibility for a cancellation requested well within a reasonable notice period, and was ultimately told I would be charged for a policy that was never disclosed to me at the time of booking. I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member of several years and hold the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass card. This experience has caused me to seriously reconsider that relationship, as the service I received was inconsistent with what the loyalty program and co-branded card represent.
I am requesting the following as resolution: full reimbursement of the points used for this reward night, and an additional goodwill award of complimentary reward nights in recognition of the two consecutive days I spent trying to resolve an issue that was created entirely by Hilton and the hotel's conflicting and reversed information, not by any action on my part. I would appreciate a response from someone with the authority to review and resolve this matter directly.

My wife and I are visiting grandchildren in the SF Bay Area and booked Hilton in Warm Springs (Fremont), CA to be near them. The parking lot had a quarter of the available parking (best spots) reserved for “Clean Air” vehicles: crazy! Upon entering the lobby they were selling generic bottled water for four dollars/8 oz bottle: rip off! There is an indoor pool that says ot to drink the water because it is “reclaimed water:” carcinogen! We are traveling with my granddaughter and her two sisters stayed overnight in our room.
My granddaughter stayed with her mom in Hayward while her two sisters spent the night with us in our hotel room, totaling four of us in the room. There are two towels, two 8 oz. bottles of “complimentary” water/entire stay and one small bar of soap in our room: cheap! Then, at 4:00 AM I awoke to what sounded like a locomotive parked in the parking lot with various air hoses spraying compressed air at random: ventilation system and freeway traffic. Right now I hear what sounds like an alien spacecraft whirring on the roof: Elon? The curtains don’t close to stop daylight from entering the room (6AM right now): rest?

I've been a long time Hilton Honors member and generally have had very good experiences. My recent stay at the Hilton airport Kansas City had a very disappointing and disturbing aspect. Apparently, they sublet their parking out to a third party vendor who provides minimal signage to indicate there is a daily fee. I stayed there in an open, unprotected lot and did not know about the fee. A week later I got a notice from an unknown source saying I owed $75 for not paying a daily fee I did not know about. Typically, most hotels, particularly Hiltons, will add a parking fee to your bill if there is one. Not this one. I paid the fine and am still not sure it wasn't a scam. Be careful at this Hilton.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Homewood Suites Salt Lake City Downtown and Hilton's customer service was so disappointing that I feel compelled to share it. What began as an issue involving a package sent to the hotel quickly became a frustrating cycle of conflicting information, unanswered questions, and a complete lack of accountability. I was provided multiple explanations regarding what happened to my package, including claims that it had been returned to sender, yet no one was able to provide documentation, tracking information, receipts, or any evidence to support those claims.
After weeks of attempting to resolve the matter directly with the hotel, I escalated the issue to Hilton's Executive Offices. I was assured that the matter would be reviewed by their Brand Support Team. I responded promptly with specific questions and requests for documentation. Unfortunately, despite those assurances, I never received a response, update, or resolution. The most disappointing part of this experience was not the package itself—it was the complete lack of communication and follow-through. Mistakes happen. What matters is how a company responds when they do. In this case, I felt ignored rather than valued as a customer.
As someone who travels frequently for business and personally influences lodging decisions for colleagues, business associates, and ownership partners, this experience has significantly changed my perception of Hilton. I have chosen to take my business elsewhere and can no longer recommend Hilton based on the way this situation was handled. If you stay here, I hope your experience is better than mine. Unfortunately, when a problem arose, neither the hotel nor Hilton demonstrated the level of customer service or accountability I expected.

We had two rooms at the Home2Suites at the Ga Mall. One room was great but the other room was nights with so much noise. The managers wouldn't return our call. Nothing was done. My husband sent the manager a email and had no response. He called customer service and they offered 20,000 points... We paid way over $1,000 for the rooms.

When we got there; the remote control did not work so I asked the maid I spotted in the hallway if she could change the battery. I assumed it was the battery, she came in with another controller that also did not work. So she told me that she was going to get housekeeping to fix the issue. My children and I were in the room for a bit. We ate dinner, then we got ready to go swimming. I figured that after that long the controller just was not getting fixed. It turns out they were just waiting for us to leave the room. When we came back from the pool which, we had to book an hour for which is whole other thing that I did not like but a minor issue. We tried the controller and it worked; so they came while we were at the pool.
I ordered room service for my son (I regret this now. It was 48 dollars for chicken strips and fries. It said 27 on the menu which was expensive, they said that there was an 18% forced gratuity but from 27 to 48 is (used AI because math because...math.) To find the percentage increase from 30.51 to 48: Percentage Change=48−30.5130.51×100\text{Percentage Change} = \frac{48 - 30.51}{30.51} \times 100Percentage Change=30.5148−30.51×100 =17.4930.51×100= \frac{17.49}{30.51} \times 100=30.5117.49×100 ≈57.33%\approx 57.33\%≈57.33% . Answer: 48 is approximately 57.33% higher than 30.51. So a 57.33% increase in actuality.
After I hung up the phone I realized that our stove top was gone, I have it as my daughter is special needs; so I cannot feed her restaurant food, as she does not chew food, so she will choke. So I was in shock and immediately had horrible anxiety, I have depression and anxiety, so I was just thinking what do I do? Oh my god my daughter is going to starve. So finally it dawned on me. Call the front desk and tell them I was robbed by housekeeping, so I called them and as I was on the phone with them I saw a little card stock that said they took my cooking appliance as it was a fire hazard, it would be more believable if I was not allowed an iron, hairdryer, nightlight, their kettle, my phone charger which I use overnight, but since I was allowed so many other “fire hazards” their argument as to why they took this one appliance is very unconvincing.
Anyway I explained my situation with my daughter and the front desk sent me to the maid service who sent me to the housekeeping, who sent me to security who said he has to wait for his supervisor so I hung up. Then I tried again, they did it all again but on the last one they just let it ring for a long time and they refused to give it back. When I asked on guy about it he said he cannot give it back as there was no cooking allowed in the room so the truth came out. It was not a fire hazard. Is that they wanted to force our hands to buy their way too expensive average frozen to warmed food. Another guy was asked by me what my daughter was supposed to eat and he said “maybe you can give her water based food, like water”. While I do think he was trying to think up something he clearly could not.
I find it pretty amazing that I can cook water in their kettle which has a burner but not use my own. These people did not give a crap about my special needs, they were more than happy to let my daughter starve for their power trip. The dumbest thing about this is that my daughter would never eat anything from their too expensive restaurants or room service as she cannot. The maid who clearly saw the stove top and set this heist up had they audacity to smile brightly in my face and say hello, it was psychopathic. The next day I warmed up my daughter’s lunch with the iron. And I absolutely refused to ever buy anything from them again.
Our bathroom was full of dead silver fish bugs. It was disgusting, we cannot cook food for our daughter but we could have dead insects. The room itself had hordes of living ants that only got out of our room and back in the walls because my son really took to throwing salt at them which he had to do multiple times. Based on these red spots on my legs that I have never had before I am guessing that there were bugs in the bed biting me. That first night I could not sleep as whenever I closed my eyes I felt like there was someone in my room just waiting for me to be weak so they could violate me again since in my time of vulnerability is when they like to strike.
Both nights it was very difficult to sleep as there were people screaming, and slamming doors, or walls, anything they could, and absolutely nothing was done about it. I really started to believe they hired people to make too much noise just to attack me more. We would have had a better stay at a roadside motel and would have spent significantly less. At the end I brought the card stock where they lied to me about the one and only “fire hazard” they care about and it took a much longer time than the rush to get to it in my room to take it from me while we were swimming unaware like chumps, then had the audacity to say they needed my signature, I took my stove top back and the paper the guy was holding, and walked away.
I could not wait to get away and free and never return; the guy said that the paper was his. I threw it down. I was not going back and the anger I had was too much, and they pretended they were so justified. I got the stove top in the car. Jumped in the car we left and it felt good, but in the car as we were going I realized how unbelievably hypocritical it was for that guy to be so adamant that that paper was his. They waited for me to leave the room purposely, stole from me, would not give me my stuff back for my special needs daughter, they felt like stoic heroes for it, but have that audacity to be righteous about their piece of paper. Which could easily start a fire often paper does. They were unbelievably disgusting hypocritical horrible monsters. And the audacity to say you have to give me your signature for our theft so nasty.
This stay was very disappointing and quite frankly horrifying, they had no idea how long I was staying my daughter could have starved to death and they were the ones who were happy with this. When we checked in the lady who checked us in said I have to put $200 deposit down and I would not get it all back but I would get most of it back, however when I checked out I only got 52 dollars and change back, so really they kept nearly $150 for what I do not know; it is not like anyone saw the room which was left in the same condition we got it; save for a little salt on the ground to deter the ants.
We stayed for 2 nights, and paid nearly $800.00. I am sick and tired of paying to be abused. I miss customer service. I had the privacy sign up the rest of our stay and still did not feel safe. They could have gone into our room and just left everything in place so we would not know. The biased, controlling, hate crime, to try and siphon money from us for their gain is not OK.

I have never written a bad review for anyone but today will be that day. I had an unpleasant expectance with both Hilton Mystic Dunes in Celebration, FL and Hilton's corporate. I was traveling with a team that was competing in a nearby area and or team coordinator initially booked the hotel on specific billing requirements. However, after agreeing to those terms, the entire process changed.
As the person responsible for the teams' accounting. I contacted corporate ahead of time to confirm the payment process, including tax-exempt status and other requirements our organization qualifies for. I was assured there would be no issue, that all I needed to do was present my identification and the requirement documentations upon arrival, and everything would be taken care of the next day.
Unfraternally, none of what was promised actually happened. I spent significant amount of unnecessary time going back and forth trying to resolve the issue. When I followed up with corporate the next working day, I was told it was a hotel level problem and that I needed to speak to the hotel manager and was told sorry for the inconvenience. At the end I was given incorrect information, my time was wasted, no one was able to resolve the issue, and no one was willing to take responsibility or further assist. This was a very disappointing experience and reflects poorly on both the hotel and Hilton corporation.

I had called ahead before getting on the highway to let the hotel know I would be arriving late, since it was a four-hour drive from Atlanta to Charlotte and my flight was delayed, making it impossible for me to arrive earlier. When I checked in, the man at the front desk told me I would not be charged for that night because it was already the next day. Based on that, I paid $291.00.
However, by Friday morning, my card had been charged twice for $291.00. When a representative from the front desk called me, I explained exactly what I had been told at check-in and that my card had already been charged for the entire weekend. After that conversation, I went to my conference believing the issue had been resolved.
Unfortunately, it was not resolved. When we returned from dinner that evening, the situation became much worse. Payton then told me there had been a “miscommunication” and said that I had been given a discounted Hilton rate for Thursday at $291.00, and that I would also be charged $149.00 for each of the next two nights. This was never explained to me before, and it was not what was discussed with me on the phone earlier. I specifically remember the details because I had compared the cost to another hotel for the same three nights, which would have been $758.00 plus parking. That comparison is one of the main reasons I chose to stay at this property.
What I do not understand is why I was charged for a night I did not actually stay. I had notified the hotel in advance that I would be arriving late, so there should have been no confusion about my reservation or my attendance at the conference. To make matters worse, I was given a handicapped-accessible room with a shower bench, and the man at the front desk himself told me that was simply “what was left over.” On top of that, the hotel did not even have enough clean hand towels to provide extras when requested. This added to an already frustrating and disappointing experience.
Throughout this situation, Ms. ** and Payton did not seem to understand or address the fact that my card had been charged twice for $291.00. I was told one thing at check-in, but the charges on my card told a completely different story. I was also offended that it was implied I may not have even been attending the conference, despite the fact that I had booked under the CEA rate and had every reason to be there.
When I made the reservation, I was told I would receive the CEA conference rate for all of my nights, not just one. Instead, I was overcharged, misinformed, questioned, and treated poorly. This entire experience was unacceptable. I am requesting a full refund and a formal apology for the inconvenience, confusion, and poor treatment I experienced. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return to this hotel.

I am a Hilton Honors Silver member and will never stay at a Hilton Hotel again. I had to cancel a trip recently and they charged me full price for the two nights that I could not make and not to mention the taxes and fees for a room I didn't even use. Making a call to Florida Department of tax revenue now.

Not what we expected from Hilton. Old run down in need of major overhaul. So they must be scamming people for bogus charges. We have heard 2 different stories on why they charged us 250 dollars. First was we smoked cigarettes. Then later that day it was we smoked her words ** in the room. We are in our mid 60s. Even if we did smoke we both know better. Was there for a family member funeral. 2 nights each night both weekdays were different rates? Wow total stay costing us 559 dollars. What a racket. I have all receipts and will dispute and file with the BBB. So I guess this Hilton does as they please at Hilton Covington Louisiana. Will be filing with the BBB. This is absolutely ridiculous.

This has been one of the worst experience I have had with Hilton. I reserved a room for 3 nights. Immediately after, in less than 5 mins I realized I don't need to go so I called the hotel and I was told by the customer service agent to talk to Hilton directly for a full refund. So I called Hilton and they put me on hold and Hilton office talked to the hotel and then they said that they have canceled the booking and a one night room charge has been put towards my account. They did not ask me if I am ok to be charged the $400.
All they kept saying is this is a type of rate that you cannot cancel. This is daylight robbery. They didn't even ask me if I am ok with the cancelation fee. When I told them that I would go and stay for one night, they said that they will not allow me to stay even though they are charging me for a night. I requested for a 1 night fee stay for future. They refused to do anything. This is one of the worst experience I have had with hotel reservations. Please make sure you check with the hotel before booking. If you need to cancel for unforeseen reasons you will still be charged.

Stayed at Doubletree Hilton in Warwick RI out of necessity of snow and had to ride the property three times to locate a parking space with no luck until a manager offered one on another’s property a hundred yards away and then had to lug the luggage through a slushy snow driveway. Once inside we had dinner which was also a couple of firsts. The drink I ordered was not available (Bacardi Silver label and Coke) and then I asked for a Margarita with Silver Patron and not available The bartender was pleasant and could only work with what she had.
The food we received was good and my bride asked for Vinegar for her Fries and was told we do not have Vinegar. Then we decided on a dessert and the one was chose not available as was another so we settled for a small piece of Carrot cake. Overall a poor hotel experience, parking, restaurant and bar and in the AM of the next morning the plumbing backed up.

This review is for Hotel Dello Fort Lauderdale Airport, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. We got a reservation at this hotel paid by the airline who's flight we lost, they gave everyone in the same situation a free night and a $20 voucher in a hotel. My husband and I arrived at the counter and explained we had never used vouchers before so they explained that it was like a credit card, they'll add it to the room and use it as we ordered from the restaurant or the vending machines. Next day we left the hotel at about 4:45 am, the front desk people checked us out when they saw us leave. Turned out our flight was canceled and when I called the hotel they told me that once the check out process goes through, there is nothing they could do. Because the flight was canceled but they placed us in another one at 4:30 pm, the airline didn't wanted to pay for a hotel again.
My husband had food poisoning and was on his 2 day of vomiting, non stop, so I had to get him into a hotel so I paid $208 to go back to Dello. Today I checked my bank account and they charged $29.29 in food for the night we had the voucher. I just called the hotel and the manager said there was nothing they could do about it. I don't care about the $30, it's just frustrating the way they treat their members, we are Diamond members, we spend a lot of money staying in Hilton hotels. What a shame. Overall, hotel was clean, spacious rooms, about 10 min from the airport. Oh and free shuttle from and to the airport.

We have reserved a room at the Hilton Grand Inn Nashville Vanderbilt 1715 Broadway for two nights due to my heart surgery at the Vanderbilt Coronary and Vascular Institute. Our room was quoted price for $355.00. Upon further review we found out there was an additional charge for parking at $45 for self parking or $50 for valet per each time we would leave and come back.. This extra cost was NOT mentioned by the reservation employee in the amenities or the conformation email. After calling to verify this cost, the employee told me for two nights self parking the cost with TAX would be $98.
When I expressed my concern the employee said goodbye and hung up on me. Bottom line: Hilton is scamming people with there room prices by not including the ridiculous cost for parking up front at the Hilton Grand Inn Nashville Vanderbilt. The REAL total cost will be at least $455. I have been a member and supported Hilton since 2011. I guess it's time to start looking elsewhere! Conformation #**

I booked 2 nights with Garden Inn in Tyler Tx this weekend was the worst experience ever. The lady at the front desk was very rude and we almost got into an altercation because she was screaming at me in front of her boss and other people that were in the lobby. I have never been so humiliated in my life in public when all I was doing is trying to stay at the Hilton for the weekend to check on my sick brother that has stage 4 cancer. And this is the treatment I got. I got left with no room. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
