My flight was 5 hours delayed so I arrived late to the Embassy Suites Greystone in Columbia, SC. It was 1am and I was very tired. Upon check in, the front desk clerk told me they had no rooms available. I told him I had a reservation and was a Hilton Honors member. He told me none of that mattered to the Hilton corporation and that they have a policy that allows the property to book at 120% occupancy. I ask if they "protected" me with a room at a neighboring hotel and he said no. There were no rooms available anywhere in town. So here I was, a woman travelling alone, at 1am trying desperately to find a hotel. Buyers beware of Hilton's overbooking policy. Just because you have a reservation doesn't mean anything to the Hilton corporation. They are more concerned about profit than their customers.

They do not have the best rates possible. They say they will meet other rates but do not. They transferred for hrs and then keep you on hold when you call back for much more time. They seem to be too big for their boots and are using all kinds of outside services. They told me to get an American Express, also to get triple points at the stay I was booking for the next day and connected me to some foreign country and that took 45 min. That person also told me I would get a email within 4 min when finally after a song and dance of questions and approval never came. When I call am they said they had no idea where they connected me to... Horrible contact service and much too much time spent dealing with them. No one a Hilton seems to know how to deal with their computer reservation system properly. I do not trust them when they say anything and surely don’t know how to price their rooms correctly.

I stayed in Hilton Hampton Inn Monterrey (NL), Mexico for 4 nights (July 14-18) but have been charged for 5 days. I have requested them to refund the amount of 1 night. At that time they agreed to refund the amount on the credit card but actually it has never happened till date. It's been more than a month and still chasing them badly but Hotel's Manager (Antonio) is not ready to speak and not responding to mails. Really frustrated with their customer experience and fake commitment. I request #Hilton Leadership to please help in resolving this issue ASAP.

Because an outside third party assists with reservations I was given a confirmation for a room but upon arriving at the hotel, they didn’t have a room for me! I was alone, traveling for business and it was almost 1 am. I was in an unfamiliar place and had nowhere to go. All hotels in the area were full. They removed me from the lobby and didn’t even offer to pay for another place. When I called for help, they just transferred me to their rewards line. What nonsense. I could not have had a worse experience.

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Mason Ohio recently and our stay was not the experience you would expect to have at a Hilton Hotel. We were there several nights and experienced finding large ants in our room, trash not emptied daily, sweeper not ran the entire time, bed sheets not changed at all. Worrisome of all twice we returned to find our door not shut after housekeeping had been in the room. I also recently have been denied points from Hilton Honors for 3 nights of Hotel stays that I provided the confirmation number for. Very disappointed with this chain.

Stayed at the Hilton in downtown Seattle. Room was very dated and exceptionally small. It was also next to the ice machine which was loud. As we checked out the elevator to the parking garage was not working. The “manager” showed us to the stairs and my wife, myself and our luggage took off down ten flights of stairs. When we got to the second floor where our car was parked the door was an exit only! We had no choice but to continue to the ground floor and then walk back up to our car. To make matters worse we paid cash for the room only to find that they also charged my card for the room. Customer support promised to make it right by awarding us Hilton honor points. However after more than a week and several emails our account still reads zero points. Avoid this hotel!!

I registered for a conference coming up in Nashville/Cool Springs, TN area in Sept, 2019. The conference registration link said there were no more rooms in the block. So, I reserved the cheapest rate which was Hilton Honors prepaid which was still more expensive than the conference rate. I booked two rooms for myself and my associate without knowing that he was making his own reservation the next day. Sure, poor communication on our part. He got his reservation the next day with the conference rate! Hilton was not willing to take one of my rooms off the higher priced prepaid. BEWARE OF HILTON HONORS PREPAID! I PLAN ON AVOIDING HILTON IN GENERAL IN THE FUTURE! Not consumer friendly -- apparently they have never heard that "the customer is always right!." G

Original Issue: I was promised room on the top floor and executive privileges at the time of reservation. I was advised yesterday the room was not possible by the hotel and the reservation should have not been promised. When trying to see what we could do to honor anything I was promised I was treated inhumanely by Hilton Honors call center. Please understand that I just wanted help with this situation. I found out my original reservation, which was made on the phone with a Hilton Honors member, was not made correctly. I was promised to be treated like a gold member even though both I and the reservation specialist knew I would lose my gold status before the stay.
I was misinformed on what I kind of room and services I would get. Being told I can not have things I was expecting when I really was just wanting to confirm what time I needed to check-in was upsetting and shocking. But worse than all of this, which really could have been solved in a simple call, was how I was treated for just asking if there was something we could do to honor what I was promised. During 2 calls to Hilton Honors, as advised by the hotel to do this is what happened:
A. Sent to my own voicemail when advised I was going to a manager. I do believe this was on purpose and this was disrespectful of me as a customer.
B. I was laughed at and mocked and told I would only receive help if I spent more money at a Hilton like I do not deserve respect as a customer because my chronic illness prevented me from being about to stay at a Hilton within the last year. I had hospital bills I had to pay, I'm sorry...but that does not mean I should be treated as a lesser customer as someone who is well enough to spend their expendable income on hotel stays. If I could have last year I would have. And if that means Hilton does not want my business then there's a whole other issue that the public needs to be aware of.
C. Getting yelled at by a Hilton Honors "Manager" for just asking if you can honor what was promised at the time of reservation is going to get someone fired and their job loss would be my fault and causing me distress and panic because you want to guilt me off the phone is highly inappropriate and I'm honestly still in shock that happened on a call. Especially from a manager who should have experience in de-escalating a customer and putting them at ease.
I work on processes and audits for call center customer services and customer service training and have done so for almost 6 years now. None of what I experienced should have ever happened. If I was listening to any of it for audit and training purposes, the person at fault would not be the girl at the time of reservation. Yes she promised me something she should not have, but it's sickening to me to think that the Hilton would put the blame on a girl who probably was just doing what she thought was right and good customer service,and not the Hilton Honors manager and the guy yesterday who laughed at me to escalated my distress and anger at a situation that could have been resolved with just a listening ear and willingness to make thing right.
They are the ones who knew exactly what they were doing and wanted to demean me and make me feel unwelcome at Hilton. They literally did everything they could to make me feel like I was not worthy to be a valued customer at the Hilton. In fact, they even told me I should cancel my reservation and find another place. That's so unprofessional and is not appropriate. They were literally telling me that the Hilton did not want my money. All because I lost my Gold Status, which was due to me needing to focus on my health overtaking a vacation. Basically showing class discrimination due to my health.
That's a major issue that I am deeply disturbed by and I think the Hilton needs to be aware and just as disturbed that they have customer service agents willing to turn people away. The more I think about it the more I feel like something more needs to be done, I can't believe that Hilton would want anyone to have that kind of experience. Regardless if they lost their gold or diamond status or not.

June 2019, had three rooms. In town for a wedding, could not cool down rooms below 76 degrees. Even went as high as 80, while trying to sleep. AC in these rooms is a freestanding small unit that is vented through a hose that goes out through the window. Maintenance came and “unfroze” the units multiple times. They gave us freestanding fans to circulate the air, but still way too warm for a small hotel room with 4 people. No offer to replace unit, no offer to move us. My response from manager was, “Well, hotel rooms in Colorado typically don’t even have air conditioning,” as if to say that we are fortunate to even have the small AC unit. Have contacted Hilton direct, but just got a “generalized” reply and some Hilton points. Did NOT even receive enough points for a free one night stay in one room!!! We had three rooms for two nights. The Hilton satisfaction guarantee that is promoted so much seems to be only words that sound good together!!!

On July 9, 2019, I sat on the rooftop of the Hilton LAX (6151 W. Century), which has an amazing airport view. It also had your typical visiting snitch equipped with binoculars, sun hat, and handpacked lunch. We'd buried family at 9a. We came back to the Hilton LAX where my friend of 35 years was staying (along with her husband and other family members). It was her father that we buried. She'd been at the Hilton LAX for almost 3 weeks so it is not unimaginable that we adjourned to the roof to decompress. She and her husband are smokers so out of habit they engaged. The NONRESIDENT rooftop snitch approached us then ran to hotel staff. Staff followed up but our party had already corrected the behavior.
Here's where this issue grinds my soul - The Hilton LAX allowed the spy-glass snitch to stay!! A man visibly spying on people from their roof!?! Trust me when I say be glad it was The Hamiltons and not I. UNACCEPTABLE! Regardless of the momentary lapse in our judgment his approaching all of us, his language and attitude would have you under a spotlight. He thought we'd leave; more fam came - to grieve, share stories and love and be together. Treat your GUESTS better.

There was no wi - fi working in my room and they charged me $70, again unauthorized to place a router in there still was no wi-fi. Suppose to be included. Spa Casitas were overrun by out of control children. Large floats in small pools. There was no peace. It was pure hell noise from screaming children 24/7. Food was low grade.

I made a reservation for June 21st 2019 for my brother's funeral and I booked two rooms for my family at the Hilton Garden Inn in Chesapeake/Suffolk on Harborview drive. When I entered the building confused because the dining tables were blocking the entry and I could not see the service desk. I arrived at 1:15 pm to see if any rooms were available for early check-in since I had a viewing at 4 pm. The clerk at the front desk informed me that they were fully booked the day before and their housekeeping had not had time to complete cleaning and no rooms were available. She reminded me smugly that check-in is really at 3 pm. She told us we could come back in an hour to check.
We thought we would try to find a seat in their lounge to wait, but there were no seats available. The lounge area too small to accommodate us with few seats available for any person. Returned at 2:30 pm to check if any rooms were available, but there was one only. I had similar experiences with my colleagues in Oregon and other states since I travel for business; however, I thought I would try Hilton once again. I am sorry to say their service has not changed and they do little to accommodate their customers. I would not give them a one star if I could.

I will make this short and sweet. I had a terrible start to what should have been the best weekend of my life. I had a scheduled a beach wedding at the Hilton Oceanfront Cocoa Beach. I began planning the wedding about 6 months in advance. I arranged for a package that included ceremony, reception with food and beverage packages, and a block of rooms. The first problem when I arrived on the evening of May 31 for my June 1 wedding, is that they did not have a reservation for me, the bride.
I was supposed to have that room for that night and a honeymoon suite for Saturday night (which I had to pay for too even though their packages include a suite if you purchase a meal package. My meal package was customized, so they said it didn't count.... even though I'm spending thousands of dollars with you, OK). Most of my guests had already checked in or were in the process of checking in while I stood at the desk in frustration and horror. BTW, the hotel was completely booked that weekend.
Anyway, someone had put a room aside for whatever reason, and so they gave that room to me.... at the REGULAR rate and did not apply my Hilton Honors points! Anyway, there were other issues with the room, stay and ceremony that I will not address here. I wrote an email to Hilton because I didn't want to give them a negative review. I love the Hilton brand and have been a faithful customer of theirs for years. I received a response from guest correspondence (Ms. Richellene **) on 6/12/2019. She expressed her sorrow for my experience and stated she would address my concerns with the hotel and to allow 3 business days for them to respond directly to me.
On 6/18, I had not heard anything, so I responded to her email stating that I was disappointed that no one had reached out to me when I tried to handle this under the radar. Today is 6/20/2019 and I have received nothing. Not a response from Ms. ** nor Hilton Oceanfront Cocoa Beach. Very disappointed in their handling (more like lack of handling) this matter. I travel a lot, unfortunately, not sure that I can conscientiously continue spending my hard earned money with a brand that cannot even give me the dignity of a response to a complaint. Had my issue been addressed, this review would have been completely different. BTW... my wedding coordinator, Krista, was awesome!

I booked this hotel through Expedia. I booked a King Suite oceanfront room and when I got to the hotel I was checked into a room that had no hot water and the water would just cut off when you attempted to turn it to hot. I contacted the front desk about this and they sent a maintenance man up that stated they were not supposed to rent that room out because the hot water had to be turned off because of pipe issues. I informed the front desk of this and told them I wanted a new room that was the same as what I booked and paid more than 800.00 for. The lady at the front desk had the audacity to tell me I could stay in the room with no hot water and they would give me a discount. So they still wanted me to pay them over 400.00 dollars to stay in a room for 2 days with no hot water. So I suppose I was supposed to be unhygienic for 2 days on a hot beach, lovely customer care.
Then they said they were all booked so they could put us in a double queen room. What the what. If I wanted a double queen room that is what I would have booked. I told them that they should provide a discount for my inconvenience because the room was not equivalent to the room I was originally put in and paid for. All they were willing to offer was some stupid certificate for a free nights stay at a Hampton Inn. Then the Assistant General Manager Lynn tells me the next day that she can give me 2 for both nights stays but no discount because Expedia is hard to work with. All lies since Expedia contacts them later as you will see and they are the ones that won't compromise. Come on people get your stories straight. The day before I could get a heavy discount to stay in a room with no damn hot water and today I can't.
I contacted Expedia and they contacted the hotel and they told them a blatant lie that "According to the hotel, they have not heard any complaint from you while you were staying at their property. Due to this, they had denied your refund request." Well I will be damned if they hadn't gotten a complaint from me then why the hell do I have these certificates for a free stay in one of these hotels that by the way if I use I still have to pay the taxes and fees. I hate Hilton brand hotels. They are a bunch of liars and thieves.
Expedia contacted them back and apparently they all of the sudden they now know who I am. This is the response that came from Expedia. "Our record shows that one of our customer service representative already coordinated your request with Hampton Inn & Suites Panama City Beach-Beachfront and despite of our efforts to negotiate with them, they have denied our refund request. As much as we want to assist you, Expedia is subject to the rules and restrictions of the vendors whose services we sell. We act only as an agent for their product and do not have the authority to override or to change their policies. We operate under the policies of the vendors whose services we sell."
This corporation ought to be ashamed of themselves treating customers like this. It is amazing to me that they could provide a discount for putting me in a room that they never should have rented out in the 1st place but now they cannot provide anything. Their business practices leave much to be desired. Thanks for ruining my vacation. The double queen rooms are small, the beds were hard and the side of the hotel we got stuck at was by the elevators and loud. Only thing good about this place is the location.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Embassy Suites Pioneer Square Seattle Washington. Unfortunately my husband left his hearing aids in our room and did not realize it until we got to the airport two hours later.

I have been transferred from person to person and receiving voicemail only.
I finally reached the lost and found department this morning and talked to a very nice and helpful gentleman that worked nights security. He told me that he knew exactly what I was talking about and that he had logged the hearing aids in and that they had been found. He said I would need to call back the hotel after the lost and found department opened and tell them how to ship the items back to me.

This was interesting as I had received a Hilton Hotel robocall about a week earlier, and hung up on the call once I realized it was not a local call as it shown on the caller ID screen. When I tried to contact Hilton Hotels corporation HQ, while the corporate number (703-883-1000) works, caller cannot talk to an individual unless caller knows the name of an individual or has their extension. Thus Hilton Hotel management hides behind their automated phone system, while their marketing teams use consumers' private phone number to spam other consumers' same area. Yet if one reads Hilton Hotels values, they talk about their integrity..."Do the right thing, all the time". Seems like some group in the corporate structure has not read and internalized the Hilton Hotel values.

I have been a Hilton Honors member since 2000. Last year I was given the status of Diamond for Life as I have spent over 1200 nights in Hilton hotels. I can tell you that this status means absolutely nothing to the individual hotels or corporate. A couple of weeks ago I wrote to Hilton regarding a change to the points program with Amazon. Just a simple question and I did this on the main Hilton site under their contact section. No response.
A week later I sent a 2nd email on their website with the same question. No response. I then called their Hilton Honors helpline and spoke with a representative and asked that her manager contact me to discuss the lack or response from the emails. No response. Now I was on an mission. I went online and sent a 3rd email using the same form on their contact page and that one went through. So I went from having a simple question to being totally ignored. NOTE: The executive assistant I eventually talked to told me that those first two emails were not received. There is no way to know that.
NEW ISSUE. Then I noticed I hadn't received credit for the two nights I stayed that week. After waiting over a week I contacted both hotels (Hilton UAB and Hampton Panama City Beach at the west end of the strip) and left messages for the general managers. No response. Today I looked and my balance reads in the negatives. Hilton is blaming a vendor and said my points should post no later than late July. This is mid May.
So I went looking for the senior level executives on a website called Elliot Advocacy to see if they could help. I found the contact information for the CEO at Hilton and the Senior Director for Customer Service and sent an email to them. One of their assistants contacted me by phone and email with 24 hours. He answered my question regarding Amazon but by then there were two new issues: Missing points and a TOTAL LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SO MANY LEVELS! This is a corporate culture issue that is not going to change until some of these executives wake up and see that customer loyalty comes from customer service.
If a person is loyal to a brand for 20 years that should mean something. Not to Hilton. So this Hilton Honors Diamond for Life is looking for a new travel partner. Starting this week I am staying at the airport Marriott in Miami and a Courtyard in Greenville. I have no status with Marriott but that can't be all bad. Status did nothing for me at Hilton.

I was NEVER required to do this at any Hilton or other branded chain I've ever stayed at, either domestic or international. The staff does a decent job of keeping the place as clean as possible, but the facility is showing its age, including one of the two elevators which was not operational. While they have Ptac AC units (through the wall individual room type) the room always got excessively warm after midnight, then cooled down at about 6am. There are potential reasons for this, but be aware. I will never use this facility again.

HILTON LAKE LAS VEGAS RESORT & SPA. 1610 LAKE LAS VEGAS PARKWAY, HENDERSON, NEVADA, 89011, USA. TEL: +1-702-567-4700 FAX: +1-702-567-4618. May 10th, 2019. Absolutely horrible. Was just there wondering outside, the main area of Lake Las Vegas, had my video camera with me and captured some nice footage outside, away from the Hilton Hotel. As I was waiting, I was going to see if I should call a friend of mine to come so we can have a couple of drinks, I decided to sit in the lounge and wait. Set my video camera down on the side table next to me and was just browsing on my phone.
One event employee approached me and said that I cannot shoot video. I told him that I am not shooting, the camera is not on, the lens cap is on and I am just waiting. He then left and within a few minutes later, he returned with another employee, which was security **. I picked up my phone, began recording and proceeded to ask him why? “BECAUSE I SAID SO.” This is exactly what he said. I then asked if there was a sign stating I could not be there and all he said was... “I AM THE SIGN.” Mind you, I have video of all of this on my phone, which I plan on putting on YouTube.
Any way, the other guy called the police and I decided to walk outside the nearby areas to see if there was anything stating I could not be there. NOTHING!!!! The sad thing is, when **, the security guard / manager / sign, as he put it, made these back handed gestures at me like he wanted to hit me, I have everyone looking at me and I am very embarrassed at this point. (Side note, there were two gentlemen randomly shooting video with their phones in the lounge). Anyway, I walk up to the front desk and see a woman who seems to be a manager and spoke with her, **. I explained to ** what happened, and she said that it was fine for me to sit and enjoy a drink, but yet, "**" says I can't. The woman manager at the front desk was even making weird faces because she didn't understand why anything was even an issue.
So now, Henderson police show up, the police officer was being completely rude and I did not back down because I know that I did not do anything. I was very confused. As I continue talking to the woman in charge, I offered several times to her, security and Henderson police that they are welcome to look in my camera and they will see that nothing was shot inside that Hotel and that everything was just outside as I was waiting to see if I was going to call my friend to hang out and have a drink. Not only am I offended, and feel as if I have been discriminated against, but the other manager, “** FROM GUEST SERVICES”, begins to talk about this event that was going on that I had no idea of.
She then begins to say to me,, “You need to understand how that looks when you have a camera and there are a lot of girls walking around.” I told her, “ACTUALLY, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN”. She then says, “COME ON REALLY?, YOU HAVE A CAMERA.” I said to her, “I still don't know what you mean because my camera is off, sitting on the table next to me while I am browsing my phone, so what are you insinuating, because this is very offensive.” Again I offered **, security guard **, and Henderson police that they are welcome to take my camera and look at what I recorded, just video footage of landscape outside by the lake and that was it. They declined and told me I had to leave or I would be arrested.
The police officer MR. ** asked security ** if he wanted me to be removed permanently and ** said yes. So for whatever reason, I can no longer go to that hotel. Thank god I have video footage on my phone of what happened And I think it's really important for anyone to really think twice before even going anywhere near Lake Las Vegas or any of their resorts located there because you don't know what will happen. No, I was not a guest, I was just there doing my thing and minding my own business. Poorly handled, I plan on filing a complaint against "**" and a lawsuit against the property for discrimination and embarrassment in front of staff and customers. Not nice at all. As a matter of fact I feel very offended. I'm very discriminated against.

I’ve been a Diamond Hilton customer for the last 3 years. Recently, I booked a prepayment hotel (first time I’ve ever done this) knowing we would be staying that weekend. We had a family emergency come up so I called and asked to switch the reservation to Friday night instead of Sat. I was on the phone with 3 different depts and was finally transferred back to customer service before they told me there was nothing they could do and I was going to have to pay the $120 for Sat. I asked if there was any way for me to transfer those funds to Friday night... Nope. Beyond frustrated to everyone I spoke with. Hope that $120 is worth the thousands of dollars you’ll lose in business, Hilton.

With the stress of planning a wedding and blocking rooms I was given the complete runaround and misinformation. I was not notified of the timeline nor deadline. My guests ended up having reservations elsewhere and I was basically made to feel as if my business was not needed. I understand the weekend reserved was a holiday weekend, but you would think that a client that invest money into the company would aim to help those clients with care. Utterly disappointed that I get a call weeks later only for her to ask for more time to investigate. The excuse given was the person helping me went out to have a baby. I understand things happen, but you as a company dropped the ball. I beg your pardon ma’am my wedding is in 3 weeks so whatever help you could give is basically out of the window anyway and you’ve lost my trust as a company.

I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn at 45 East 33rd Street, New York for about 5 weeks in the early Spring of 2016, ca. April-May. The hotel committed massive fraud against me charging my bank debit card every night during my stay even though I was paying them cash every night. So I was paying for two rooms every night during my stay even though I only had 1 room. I have repeatedly demanded a refund from the facility and they have repeatedly ignored my demands. I have the receipts to prove that this fraud, totally more than $16,000.00, took place.
I have had numerous discussions with a manager named ** there and he just stonewalls, denies and lies. I filed a complaint with the BBB and they were completely useless, giving me the runaround and taking no useful action whatsoever. Bottom line: Don’t stay at this facility. They will steal your hard-earned money. Period. PS: I made the initial reservation through Priceline, and they ripped me off, too. I will do a separate review for them.

After having an issue at a Hampton Inn, I was told by Hilton that I would be getting a voucher for a free night's stay. I was told 7 to 10 days for processing. After waiting two weeks, I called and emailed Hilton and they basically said to keep waiting. Around a month and a half later, I had to call an email them again to find out what was going on. They said they'd mail me another one. So, almost 2 months later I finally receive the voucher and I use it at a Hampton Inn (NJ). I checked out, gave the voucher, and I was told everything was ok. Later in the day, I checked my bank account and saw the hotel had charged me for the stay. I called the hotel and they said my voucher was voided... so they had to charge me for the stay!!!
I called Hilton Honors, and they basically said I have to sit and wait for the resent voucher to arrive to me and I'd have to hand deliver it back to the hotel to get my money back. I told them this was unacceptable, and the mistake was not my fault and I demanded my money be refunded to my debit card. I was told several times they cannot help me and I have to sit and wait for the voucher to get sent to me so I can give it to the Hampton Inn. I expressed my dissatisfaction and NOBODY could do anything about it. I asked for a supervisor or manager, and I was told there was nobody there for me to speak with. I emailed several contacts at Hilton (CEO, Manager of Customer Service, etc)... and I have yet to hear from anyone. So, I have $125.21 charged to my debit card and I'm basically STUCK until this voucher arrives to me. Then I'll have to make special trip back to the hotel to submit it and get my money back.
I can't believe a huge hotel chain like Hilton couldn't do anything to reverse the charges and not rip me off. Absolutely unbelievable. Going forward... I'm choosing another hotel chain for all of my lodging. If you are promised a voucher for a free stay... be prepared to wait 2 months for it and you better pray it's not voided. Robert

My humble opinion and I believe the following: I will NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR STAY AT A HILTON HOTEL AGAIN! October 6, 2018 Saturday 310pm spoke to hotel manager George. He said the toilet paper roll should’ve been changed. He said by Jacuzzi soap should of been left for the bubble bath soap. He did tell them to change the sheets and pillows. He doesn’t know why they weren’t. He said, “Tv nothing can be done. You can do demand movies no charge.” 325 pm Eddie housekeeping supervisor came and said: Bottom sheet and pillows should of been changed and I showed him marks. I left to prove not changed. He said shower should of cleaned shower, jacuzzi, soap dish, sink counter top, glass cups, ice bag, toilet paper roll, etc.
I showed him all the pictures as proof when I came back. I told him I will leave negative reviews. I also showed him tv signal works off and on. He will send maintenance. He said, “This is not how we do things.” 350pm Al maintainer came for the tv. He said that can be fixed. He then came back and said it could not be fixed. October 7, 2018 Sunday 1030am check out Hilton Hotel Bianca I told her it was a terrible stay and will be giving negative reviews and comments all over the web, social media etc. I have pictures of the above issues and yet they placed cards which I have pictures of that states “if you're not satisfied with your stay let us know and we will make it right”. That’s their policy which I'm still not satisfied.
Be careful if you use a Costco credit card with Citibank for hotel services as I did. They refuse to handle a dispute for "services" at the hotel and told me I should of went to another Hotel.

Terrible representation for a dispute. Refuses to help and saids I used the services etc. Wow I will NEVVVVVVVER use Citi credit cards again. I find Chase to be way more helpful.
I feel Citi failed to help me or do anything hours later closed dispute. Sounds like a robot over and over saying they don't credit for services rendered yet I complained several times about the services. She then saids, “Citi don't dispute services rendered.” I said, ‘Why do you have dispute option for "services" then.” Another reason I stopped banking at Citibank. They failed to take any action on my dispute saying it as a "service" yet it’s about the poor quality of service. I feel I am not protected making purchases with a Citibank card if a dispute arises. At least Chase would call the merchant. Plus I get misinformed that it was resolved at first representative. "Resolved” usually means in favor of my complaint not a spin like you guys put it.

Approximately a year ago I made a reservation for a Hilton property. The reservation agent somehow got my call to a Vacation Club agent. The agent made an offer on some packages. I refused and then I was offered a deal on a property we had been curious about. We were told that we would be able to make a reservation at that location. When we tried to make a reservation we were told that there were no opening available. Over the last year we have been assigned six or seven different agents. None of them have come through with the original commitment. I have been told so many lies that I finally asked that all communication be in writing through email. I was told that written communication was against Hilton Company policy.
I asked for my money back since Hilton could not provide what was originally committed. I have never had any response to that request and have never been refunded the money. They have attempted to contact me after the year was up to extend the previous offer for a fee. I guess that tells me what they think about their customers and/or potential customers. I have made a complete change of my opinion of the Hilton Organization after this experience. If I could do a negative 5 stars I would do that.

It is impossible to get Hilton to honor their price match policy. It is a marketing ploy, fraudulent, and misleading. There is no way to successfully file a price match claim. They make excuses and when they realize you caught them red handed they hang up. Do it with online form and they deny claim any way they can. I have screenshots of precisely the same reservation at the exact same hotel for the exact same dates and they still wouldn’t honor it. They will claim anything from it being “opaque” to saying the room may not have the same view. It’s bogus!

Let me start by saying I pretty much stay in hotels for a living. My job has me on the road as much as 20 or more weeks a year and has been this way for the last 15 years both domestic as well as international. I've come to know what to expect from any given hotel at any destination. This is why the production companies I work for as well as myself choose to book Hilton whenever possible. This being said, on 1/11/19 myself along with two colleagues had a three room two night stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, Albany, Ga. We were in town shooting a film for GMA (the Georgia Municipal Association).
That first night after a long day working we all noticed the extreme softness of the water and how slippery it was. On the way out to dinner we made sure to mention this to the front desk. The following night the water took its toll. While washing my hair both of my feet lost grip and down I went, landing directly on the right side of my back with my shoulder striking the toilet and knocking it off of its foundation. Long story short. The response from the employees was swift and respectful. After two consecutive nights in the ER in two different cities, contusions to my kidney and two weeks on the mend all is OK. The only sore spot I have is with Hilton Customer Service. Since the accident, I have been promised a proportionate compensation in Hilton Honors Points and still nothing.
I am a little shocked at this, it's almost a no brainer. The customer service representative that was assigned to my case as well as the hotel manager refuse to answer and/or return my calls. My only recourse is to vent in this review. There were other non related elements about this hotel that I found a bit beneath the Hilton bar, but this I can't let pass. To this day we still hold Hilton properties in the top three when booking travel but I am very disappointed. If you do plan to stay at this particular hotel, ask for a non slip mat at the desk or wear a pair of non slip shoes. Hopefully they will address this issue.

Hilton really needs to work on its service, planning and logistics. They could engage in better planning in order to not leave guests without a hotel. I have been a loyal Diamond member for a number of years, but my most recent experience is leading me to rethink that loyalty. My wife and I had an anniversary trip planned for March 10th to March 14th at the Jewel Paradise Cove resort in Jamaica (Part of the Hilton - Curio Collection). Less than 3 weeks before our vacation, we are notified by Hilton that the resort will no longer be affiliated with Hilton as of March 6th. Now, we had paid with our Hilton points for that reservation. So with only 2.5 weeks to go before our vacation, my wife and I are scrambling to find another resort (as plane tickets aren't the easiest things to get refunded). And instead of being able to pay with points we'll have to shell out of our own pocket.
I understand things like this happen, but come on. Don't tell me this wasn't in the works for a while. Hilton should have posted on their reservation website months ago if something like this was coming down the pipeline. Then, they should have done an analysis to see when they had reservations through. Then, they could have reasonably pushed out the date to when the resort had few reservations, giving those last few plenty of time to make changes. But this isn't what Hilton does. They give travelers 2.5 weeks to make changes... which isn't easy when your trip is planned during spring break time and a lot of places are booked. Again, Hilton has potentially ruined an anniversary trip. Thanks Hilton for your horrible service to Diamond members. Guess my wife and I will start considering other hotels when we travel.

Driving to the Hilton at Lincoln Center is a beautiful oasis. Really incredibly beautiful that’s why I chose to stay there. I enter and begin the long wait standing at the front desk where there are two men behind the counter conversing with other guest. No person even acknowledges that I am there. A young man rushed by asking what I want “check in”.
Now it’s been at least 15 minutes and I am still standing with my purse and important small carry on. Very tired. I interrupt the man from his long conversation and he quickly says I can’t check in. The reason appears to be that my mother’s name is Charlene ** on reservation and my name is Rhonda. I had used my mother’s account on Booking.com as I had for at least 5 other bookings over 2-3 months. I left the property. I inform Booking.com that I never checked in. I check my Visa bill and see that it has still not been credited. Booking was June 22, 2018 # **. I will call Hilton Lincoln Center Monday to resolve the charge to my Visa bill for $126.00 when I was not allowed to check in. Today is November 25th.

I have been staying at Hilton Hotels for few months now. Average of 10 days a month. I missed a reservation and had to pay the cancellation days fee. I missed the reservation and have no issue with that. What I have an issue with is since I missed the first day it canceled my entire stay that I got for a reduced rate. Now I have to rebook at a higher rate and 2 days cost as much as 3 days would have cost. Called customer service to try and get the day added to my Hilton Honors account. They informed me it is policy that you must stay the night to get credit on your Honors account however I fail to understand why because the fee charged is the same as the room rate plus all taxes.
Upon rebooking the price goes up. Original price was 103 a night and now is 179 a night. Little excessive in my opinion. My experience with Hilton Honors customer service on the phone was poor. I say this because my friend had the same thing happen to him and he called. Just so happen to have the name of the person and the confirmation number given. They were more than helpful when they are in the wrong and didn’t offer any upgrades or try and make it right that is why I based the experience within Hilton’s customer service as less than adequate!

When the volcano was erupting on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I guess vacationers cancelled their reservations enough that Hilton sent out a special email to their Honors members. For the cost of just the room, they INCLUDED: Breakfast and Dinner, ALL drinks (alcoholic or not), hotel fee, parking fee, the luau. As we have always wanted to stay at their Waikoloa location, we jumped on this special! The location, grounds, landscaping, and artwork are like a dream! Everywhere you go, inside and out, there are paintings, vases, statues, tapestries, waterfalls, flowers...everything to truly awe you! Being right on the ocean, only about a 20 min. drive North of the airport, the location is one you will never tire of...sunsets were different every single night! I feel their most attractive offering is their lagoon, which is also open to the ocean, yet protected from large sea creatures.
It has a great sand beach, a beautiful waterfall, and the lagoon depth varies from just a few feet to maybe 10-15'. Snorkeling is a dream, and you can easily see the same fish, turtles that you normally have to take special trips for. They also rent water bicycles, pedal boats and kayaks for this area. They have several pools, also, around the grounds - one even just for adults. There are also several slides into them. Because the grounds are so spread out, there is a tram and boats that use a special "moat" to get from one location to another. But, you can also easily just walk to any location. I guess the only drawback I found, even tho' not personally needing it, was somewhat limited access to everything for handicapped persons. Maybe you can get everywhere, but not always the most directly. Going over the boat "moats" to get to the beach and some of the pools, are somewhat high arched bridges that have steps only.
Also, even though there are elevators in all buildings, sometimes their locations aren't necessarily near where you may need to be. There are quite a few restaurants on the premises, with tastes for everyone. There is an ice cream shop, a hamburger place, a brewery type bar, an excellent Italian restaurant (Nui) that also makes take out pizza, a Hawaiian/Mexican Cantina, a breakfast restaurant, and one "posh" restaurant that we never bothered with (All dress is definitely casual). I must say, I am glad we had all inclusive food and drinks, as their prices at all the food places were kind of high, even for Hawai'i (Note: if you can still get all inclusive vouchers, you are still personally responsible for the automatically added on tax and 18% tip). The portions of food and drinks, though were extremely generous, so if you were paying for it, you could easily just order one food portion and share it with someone else.
As this is a destination resort, it is NOT that near any towns, (Kona is about a 35 min. drive away) but within walking distance, are 2 shopping centers, that also have restaurants if you chose to not eat on location. They have a luau 3 times a week, that includes a buffet dinner and musical and dancing entertainment. You also get either a fresh lei (ladies) or nut necklace (men). The food is plentiful, with offerings for meat eaters, and vegetarians, alike. The entertainment was very well done - not "cheesy". Our actual room was spacious, and they all have outside balconies with different, but beautiful views. I wouldn't consider it "luxurious", but clean, neat, well kept - not in need of any "repairs". We were in the Ocean Tower...maybe the Palace Tower might be more "luxurious", but since we only used the room to sleep in, we were quite satisfied.
They do have either valet or self parking, but both require daily costs - NO free parking. They also have a wedding chapel that looks out over the ocean bay, if you're so inclined! All the staff that we interfaced with were very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. All in all, this was a dream vacation (we stayed 11 days), and we have traveled extensively both in the US and internationally. I can definitely recommend it!

This review is a complaint of Hilton as a company not the Phoenix Airport location. I reserved a room for Hilton Phoenix Airport through Hotwire. I got a great price of $58/night on Hotwire and checked the Hilton site and the price was $78/night with Hilton membership. To my surprise I see a commercial the same day promoting that if you find a Hilton room at a cheaper rate they will not only match the hotel price they will give you an additional 25% off! Immediately I contact Hilton to tell them of the situation.
They avoided addressing giving me the additional 25% off or even matching the price. A representative of Hilton explained that I would have to buy the room at full price with Hilton then show evidence that the room was less on another site and after that they would review the file and make a determination on whether they could give me 25% off. WHAT? So I need to pay for the same hotel room twice and only reside in one until they can decide if they will give me 25% off on a room that is less. I told them I would send the receipt of my purchase and they refused and commented they could not receive attachments.
I have a limited amount of time to cancel with Hotwire and was waiting to see if I would receive the 25% off. Luckily I did go through and got a great rate and for THIS I am happy. Price matching with an additional 25% from Hilton is a scam. Thinking finding a cheaper rate online will get you a cheaper rate with Hilton is misleading and disappointing!

I am a Hilton Honors member and have had only good experiences over the years during my stays at Hilton properties. However, over the Thanksgiving holiday, I stayed at a Hampton Inn and had the unpleasant experience of a barking dog in the room across the hall. When I went to the front desk to inquire, I was told that the dog was a "support/service dog" and that company policy required that they be allowed to stay in the hotel. When the front desk attempted to call the room, there was no answer confirming that the owners were not even there. I have absolutely no problem with true service dogs for person's with physical disabilities but am dismayed by the current trend to allow "emotional support" animals (to my eye, often just pets that owners don't want to board or leave at home) in hotels. Where do their "rights" end and mine begin?

I've been a Hilton Honors member for years. Last year I was delighted by my DoubleTree experience in Sirkeci, Istanbul. So for more than 10 months I tried to re-establish contact with the team over there before arriving for more than seven days stay. Once there I learned from a staffer that the previous Manager and his team had all been fired and replaced. At the central international reservation number it had been impossible to create a link with the local reception desk. When we got there we also noticed within a few hours the stiffness and rudeness of new management.
While I was checking in, my precious companion wanted to visit the restroom. So a low level staffer just standing thereby pointed toward the direction and offered no help to light up the floor level downstairs where the restrooms are. Not a blink. Nothing. Just find your way around like a blind person. Our bathroom still had remains of hair from previous occupant. The next morning I learned through a barrage of argument and intimidation that my breakfast was NOT included though I had proof in writing to the contrary. That was enough. I canceled that stay and found better accommodation at a better price. We also had, through our guide, a reservation in Bolu, Turkey.
When we got there, there was a one-year old Hilton building waiting for us, next to an expressway. We found our assigned room was at 26C, just a tad too warm. Down at the reception desk we were informed that a decision taken at Hilton Corporate level was to cut Air Conditioning on October 1st. "Sorry, we cannot help you." Was I told politely and sternly. Frankly, I intend to terminate any dealing with Hilton organization at this time. Throughout all of those months and sad incidents, we found that Hilton Honors has a surgical and formal way of dealing with complaints as well as with requests for assistance: form letters and reference to a next level, for example, reference to the local Sirkeci establishment who, on site, promptly informed me they knew nothing of my earlier requests. In short, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and there is no follow up to check on satisfaction.

And I specifically told him that even though I paid more than what the suite is currently sold for, I don't ask for a refund, but ask him to consider that when making decision on suite upgrade.
He insist that I am stupid enough to have already paid the high price for the room, and there is nothing he would do for that. He also said "should I call you and ask you for money if the room price has increased since you book the lower rate?" It was the worse hotel experience ever.

I made my reservation four and a half months in advance at Hilton St. Louis Airport 10330 Natural Bridge Rd. St. Louis, Mo. and to say I was disappointed would truly be a understatement. Check in time was 3pm. We arrived at 4:30pm. Upon check in at 4:30pm I was told my room was not ready yet because it was still being cleaned. I said "okay." He asked my phone number "so he could text me when my room was ready." He said he would tell them to "Put a rush on it." We waited in the lobby from 4:30pm until 5:19pm for the text to check into our room. At 5:20 I approached a manager and explained my situation, who then directed me to the front desk manager who was standing nearby. I explained my situation to him and he went to the computer to check and after I gave him my name he said "your room is ready."
I asked him "why I hadn't gotten a text letting me know that it was ready. They had my cell number... so why hadn't I been notified." His reply was "I don't know... Maybe it just opened up a few minutes ago or just now." I then stated I felt that I needed some sort of compensation for this inconvenience. With my reservation being made four and a half months in advance, It seems that if I would have been there at the 3pm check in time the room most certainly wouldn't have been ready then if it wasn't ready at 4:30pm. He offered me free parking for the duration of our stay there. Myself and my travel companions knew it should have been more than that but I just said okay. I asked the front desk manager to give me a business card with his name and the free parking written on it so when I came to check out if anyone didn't want to believe me I could have them call him for verification. His reply was "I wouldn't lie to you."
I told him things often don't get written down correctly or conveyed correctly that's why I wanted it written down in case someone did not understand when I get ready to check out. He then said "Okay." We got up to our room and the first thing we find are 2 bottle caps in the floor right at the edge of the bed cover. Then as I sat on the foot of one of the beds and saw something on the floor under the table where the TV is sitting and I saw something flipped over back against the wall. I crawled under the table to look and see what it was. It was what looked like a old modem. That was full of dust and almost looked like it had cobwebs on it. Thank goodness I had my camera with me. I flipped it over and took pictures of it.
I received a text message later from the hotel asking "how was everything with my room?" I text back about the dusty thing under the tv table and not feeling the free parking was enough compensation for the room not being ready when we arrived. But I didn't want to make a scene so I accepted the free parking and let it go. But now I've found a dusty thing under the tv table so if the room was late because it was being cleaned... what was being cleaned? I was told that they would "send someone up to clean the dust that I found" then offered "vouchers for appetizers since I felt that the free parking was not enough." I didn't even respond to this last text. I'm not getting ready to go back and forth with this man when he knows what he should do... He's just NOT going to do it. I'm DONE talking to him. PERIOD.
Later Friday evening I was in the room and again happened to look around the room and noticed so much dust under the table between the 2 beds that the carpet looked almost white. I then noticed the table that sits in front of the window with the ice tray on it is full of dust, not just in the crevices but all over. I'm photographing everything I see because again... I'm trying to figure out "what were they cleaning?" When we were showering we noticed grime on the bathroom floor. My friend got down with a wet wipe and wiped it up by hand. Myself and my companions went out Saturday for a few hours and when we returned our beds were made, we had fresh new towels and the middle of the floor was vacuumed... Right around the dusty modem, the bottle caps AND the dust under the tv table, the table with the ice tray and the middle nightstand have not been touched. They were just as dusty as they were Friday when we arrived.
A Lady from housekeeping came to our room Saturday afternoon asking any problems with our room, we showed her everything. She said she was going to tell the person that she answers to who is over all housekeeping and I told her he was quite welcome to come see for himself. He called Sunday morning and asked if he could come up to see the room. After taking a tour of the room and I allowed him to see the pictures he said he was very sorry this happened, asked me to send him the photos so he could use them in his training for his employees and he said "he wanted to make this right and was going to pay for our entire stay. Nothing was going to be billed to me.
For the money you're paying for this room this is totally unbelievable, unacceptable. If you want to stay over that's fine. I'll take care of your bill." We told him that would be fine. But staying over was not something that we wanted to do. We would certainly be out before the 12 noon check out time. And we would NOT want to stay at another Hilton Establishment if we could at all help it. It would for sure be our LAST option for lodging. The gentleman that came to our room also sent someone up to help us with our luggage when we got ready to check out. And to top everything off the door at the entrance to the room was not fitting correctly. It was not a good experience at all.

I reserved a hotel room at this Embassy Suites by Hilton at Logan Airport for July 11th for one night, 1 month in advance and prepaid the room for my son and wife to stay. I called the hotel directly on July 11th and spoke to the front desk to verify my wife was all set, I also informed them that my wife's flight would be getting in after 1:00 am in the morning. I had them note the account of the late arrival and they verified my room was prepaid. Did I mention I prepaid the room a month in advance? My wife and son arrived at the Embassy Suites at 1:30 am and they were told that their room was sold & the hotel was sold out. Do not ever stay at this location. Total disrespect for paying Hilton Honors member & consumer.

I stayed two times at Hilton properties in Spokane and New York. My experience was abysmal. As a Gold member I was used to some privileges which Hilton acknowledged not providing. Repeatedly. However, their canned response was, "It's a local issue." Furthermore, I have received no compensation in spite of complaining to the local in person during the stay and checkout and national numbers. It’s amazingly frustrating. Ran into an Italian customer who felt the same at the NYC property anyway.

I received a weekend certificate through Macquarie Bank credit card promotion from Hilton Honors. It supposed to give me one free night accommodation in one of the Hilton properties. Make a booking through their website by online chatting to one of their reservation agent. I have told the agent that I want to use the certificate and the agent told me it wasn't a problem. He also told me that all I need to do is to show the certificate when I check in. So I thought everything was fine. On the day I check in, I told the lady at the check in that I want to use the certificate and the lady told me that the booking wasn't made using certificate. She was quite good though and try to help by calling Hilton Honors directly and spoke to them. But at the end I still have to pay for the room.
I contacted Hilton Honors directly. They are avoiding the issue and will not answer my issue at all. Macquarie bank in which I open credit card account with and spend a minimum amount to get this promotion can't help. They said it isn't them but Hilton Honors problem. Not sure why Macquarie Bank wants to be associated with Hilton Honors but I guess they are just chasing for profit so who care if one customer stuffed around.

I have been a Hilton rewards member for almost two decades and have stayed in their branded hotels dozens of time. I had planned to visit Niagara Falls and called the hotel to check room availability and price. I also inquired about using points that I had accumulated in booking the room. I was told that the rooms were available but that in order to use points I needed to contact the Hilton Rewards line.
I called the representative at the Hilton Rewards line and told him what I wanted to do - book a falls view room and use points to do so. I was very clear both before making the reservation and after that I wanted a falls view room. I was told that I could use my points and was quoted a rate. I requested and was sent a confirmation of the reservation. When I received the confirmation I saw that instead of being booked into a falls view room I was instead booked into a city view room.
I called the hotel to confirm that it was a city view rather than a falls view room. She confirmed that there were falls view rooms available but said that the hotel could not change this since I had made the reservation through the Hilton Rewards line using my points. I was directed to call the Hilton Rewards line to make the change. When I called the Hilton Rewards line I was told that there was nothing they could do to change the reservation to reflect what I had originally been told. I asked to talk to a supervisor and was directed to Evelyn. She also told me that there was nothing they would do to correct their error. My only choice was to cancel the reservation and pay the full price of the room.
This level of service shows a disregard for Hilton customers and particularly those who have been long time customers. I will be visiting Niagara Falls but will be staying at a competitor. I will also tell the competitor why I have chosen to stay with them rather than Hilton and will also be advising my friends, many of whom travel a great deal why I have made this decision. There are many choices when selecting a hotel and the fact that Hilton is unwilling to honor what they tell their customers is something that anyone making a decision where to stay should consider.

I'd like to start by saying, how disappointing!! My husband & I booked our family's vacation well over a month ago. We have our time scheduled off work for the week we "RESERVED" & our kids are so excited about their trip to Florida to see their Grandma & cousins!! Well, this morning I downloaded the Hilton Honors APP only to see that somehow my family's vacation has been CANCELED!!! I call customer service immediately to figure out How? Why? How could this happen with something we planned, reserved, and already told our children about?!?! The women on the line basically said there was nothing she could do because they were fully booked and somehow our cancelation was done over the web. Over the web?!?! We reserved a suite due to an extended stay with 2 kids, where am I possibly going to be able to rebook our vacation when EVERYWHERE that offers a suite is SOLD OUT?!?!
I didn't cancel, my husband didn't cancel and my kids are too young to know how to cancel... so long story short, my family's reservation somehow has been canceled and I find out through the app?!?! This is extremely disappointing and very frustrating! How could something like this happen?!?! I may never use Hilton again and may have to reschedule our summer vacation for next year!! How am I supposed to tell my kids and my family in Florida that we may not be making the trip?

I scheduled a reservation 4 months in advance to stay at the Hampton Inn in Greenville, SC and I give my credit card information while making the reservation. On the day of check-in, I was called at 2:00 pm an hour before check-in at 3:00 pm and told that a credit card was needed to secure my room and that they were booked for the night and if I was not there at 3:00 pm that I would not have a room. I have never had anything like this happen to me before and I vacation regularly. Hilton properties only care about money not customer service.
I expressed my problem to several individuals working the front desk and was told that it was Hilton policy to call and antagonize their guests before check-in. I also requested that I have a king suite with balcony overlooking the Reedy River. I was told when I arrived to check-in that it was only a king suite over looking the river. I insisted that I booked a king suite with balcony overlooking the river. I ended up in a king suite with the balcony but not overlooking the river. Hilton sucks and I will never spend another dime in or on one of their properties and I would advise you not to as well. I hope that every member of the Hilton family slips on a banana peel and busts their ** because they will have earned it. #NeverHiltonAgain.

I am a loyal Hilton Honors member and typically book Hilton properties for business and personal travel. I have even stayed at this property about once a month for the last two years. This is the last time. I am appalled by the lack of empathy, customer service, and overall care for customers that Hilton has represented throughout this dispute. They will not refund me because "the hotel was overbooked" which was a complete lie since my colleague stayed at the property that night and confirmed that the hotel was "dead." Stay at the Marriott.

I stayed at a Hilton property about six months ago impromptu, and it was great. Two weeks ago, I tried to make a reservation for a conference, recently moved to a Hilton Hotel and the entire reservation experience was horrible. I did not remember my Hilton Honors number from six months ago, so spoke with an agent. They said that I wasn't in their system and instead that I sign up for a new account.
Then it took three calls. First to their national reservations number... You need to speak to someone at the desk at that specific hotel. Second call, "That's not in our system: Can you call back tomorrow?" Called back, went through the spiel - they found the group, but would not give me the group rate - and hung up on me (without merit, the call was totally polite). Called national reservations at this point, explaining - please fix this situation. That agent didn't fix it, saying I need to contact the external conference host, but apologized, "As an apology for the overall inconvenience, we would like to make it up to you"... Turned me over to their internal Vegas-Orlando Vacation agent. At this point, I've lost an hour of time on the phone, still don't have my reservation and have been played.
So, then I call the conference host, explaining what has transpired and I am ready to withdraw from the conference altogether and will consult with my colleague before committing to withdraw. Fortunately, the conference host has his act in a pile. Ironically, had a cancellation and is making it all good. However, more than 24-hours later, there is still no confirmation from Hilton... And there is supposed to be. What exactly is Hilton's problem?

Fess Parker by Hilton bad customer service all around - First issue was at check in when my information did not show up in the system. Simple enough error but the way it was handled and the lack of quality treatment had me feeling like I was trying to check in to a seedy motel and not a big name hotel. After that was resolved, my business partner was given vouchers for food for the same reservation which was not given on mine. I paid $60 out of pocket for cold, rubber like scrambled eggs for me and my wife until my business partner asked why I didn't use the food vouchers (the ones that were not given to me). I went to the front desk who asked a lot of questions and took a copy of the receipt to try to refund me. I had to ask for the vouchers for the next day, which they then gave to me.
The next morning I checked in to make sure that the refund had been handled and they asked me all of the questions from the previous night again and then said I needed to take the receipt that I had given them the night before to the manager of the restaurant and that she had been notified of the situation. I went to that manager who said she knew nothing about it, so I re-explained and answered all of the questions again and she said that she would take care of it. I then asked about using our vouchers for breakfast and she said that we didn't need them and instead, they give me a token.
After eating, I receive a bill for the difference in what the token covers and what we ate. My business partner and his wife had no charge for the same meal, so I asked if I did something different. The answer was that they used vouchers and I was using a token. I held up the vouchers that I was told not to use and then told that since I had those that there would not be a charge.
At this point, I'm feeling frustrated at how many things that I'm being told incorrectly on and the burden being put on me, so I ask to talk with the main manager of the hotel, who it turns out was the person who I couldn't check in with on day 1. I'm given explanations of why vouchers were given to my business partner and not me because they checked in before I did. I originally tried to check in 6 hours before my business partner and then once all was resolved on the registration, I still checked in 3 hours prior to the other's arrival, so that explanation didn't fit. She asked me what I wanted and I said that I wasn't looking for money but for them to better treat their guests. I won't stay at another Hilton Hotel.

We had made the online reservation at 9pm that night through Hilton.com and he arrived at 930pm at the hotel. He was assured there would be no charge, but the next day a full night fee was placed on my credit card. We are HHonors members with a long history of stays (over 100) and the Hilton website clearly stated 18 was the minimum age. He was coming back from spring break and stayed at another Hampton in Georgia with no issues on his way to Florida. We have reached out twice now only to be told that the night clerk was misinformed and a full night would have to be charged.
When we called to straighten this out, the front desk tone was rude and demeaning therefore we were forced to ask for the general manager to call us. That request has been ignored as they hope we just go away. This isn't about the money. This is about telling the customer the truth and not charging them later when they are back home hundreds of miles away. Please do not stay at this hotel if honesty is something you are looking for.

So I called downstairs again and they said they would reboot, it was still hot, after an hour I called again, this time they told me that the whole hotel was out and that their engineers were working to get it back up. It was so hot in our room we had to open the balcony door to let air in.
I was so uncomfortable I called back down to ask for a fan. They said they didn't have one, so at around 3 in the morning I was so uncomfortable I called back down, they stopped answering my calls. So we got no sleep and woke up hot and frustrated, upon check out I mentioned the horrible conditions and the front desk person didn't seem too concerned and just kept saying the whole hotel is out of air sorry.

The room you are assigned may have had animals in it the night before. This happened to me at the Boca Raton Hilton. Barking, defecating, running loose dogs have been observed by us on more than one occasion.
Guests are taking advantage of this policy so they do not have to pay for dog/pet care. This policy applies to airline travel. Dogs and pets do not have a place in airplanes or hotel rooms. NOW that I have made my position known we have no problem with "real service" dogs for the handicapped. Selfish individuals who claim "comfort" animals should not be allowed. What are airlines going to do when one of these comfort animals attack and or bite a passenger or hotel guest? The suit will be against the hotel or airline! That will make fine publicity.

I guess if they said "Yes we will put a 400 hold on your card and it will take a week to come off" highly doubt they would have many guests.

This hotel in Modesto has very poor customer service. I made a phone call to them (reservation staff) named: unknown lady (who cancelled the reservation without confirming to the client), Alicia (cannot even answer and assist with issues) and Lori (Reservation supervisor- hung up my call - no professionalism; how you ended up being a Reservation sup) this morning to make changes on my reservation but kept on transferring my calls and even hung up on me by the Supervisor herself. No professionalism on their end and do not even bother to call me back to apologize and continue with the transaction.
They ended up cancelling the reservation without confirming the details to direct client. Unknown lady on their team even asked for my credit card details knowing I intended to cancel the process (wth? she needs my cc info). I called them last 2 weeks and made cancellation but instead received a hotel confirmation of the said dates... lol! I do not understand what is going on with this hotel in Double Tree Modesto? I usually travel and booked in Hilton hotels and thumb ups to Folsom, CA. Love them! But with this Modesto area... might as well go with SPG Marriott.

I booked a room on the online system and checked the box to use my Hilton Honors points. When I arrived at the hotel I was told that the room was purchased using cash, not Hilton Honors points. I was told by the hotel clerk and the reservation line that they could not fix because that would mean they would have to cancel the reservation and rebook it using points and since the hotel was full I could lose my reservation. I was told to talk to the hotel manager in the morning to fix it and the manager could not fix it. Even if I made a mistake, which I don't think I did, this should be easy to fix. I have over 40,000 points, which shows I have been a loyal customer. I went through the online system the day after as in I was booking another room with my wife watching and we both agreed I did nothing wrong. Either the site is deceptive or the company is trying to make it difficult to use your points.

We Arrived on February 24th 2018 to the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, We were given a beautiful room on the 21st floor. When we checked the room, we found a cockroach. We asked to be put in a different room, which they apologized and put us in another room, on the 3rd floor, in the old 4 storey portion of the building, we searched this room finding dirt and food behind the couch, mildew and mold on the tile in the bathroom, the toilet was black around the rim. We tried to call Costco, who we booked through and couldn’t get any callback. It’s very busy and we couldn’t find another hotel. I do want to say that for 8 nights we slept with the lights on, because of our (my) fear of cockroaches. Anyway, Sunday we left to go to Disney, when we arrived back at the hotel, all handicapped spots had been taken, we were told to use the back lot, which is dimly lit and a sign is posted to “park here at your own risk”.
My husband couldn’t hardly see to put my scooter together, we then made our way up the driveway in the dark, a car came around the corner and almost hit me on my scooter, because there are no sidewalks to ride on. The next night we went to park in the handicapped area and were surprised to see they had barricaded the entrance and exit to that area, with a sign that said, "Valet parking only." My husband went around barricades and parked in the handicapped spot. This went on for the next 6 of the 8 nights. Upon arriving to our room we were greeted by maintenance workers in the hallway, asking us if the room they were Infront of was our room, we stated that, "No, we were right next door." We learned that the floor was flooded with water. We inquired as to what had happened. They couldn’t or wouldn’t tell us.
We went into our room and found water on the tile, we again Inquired as to what flooded, they wouldn’t tell us, I asked if it was a toilet that had overflown, they again said, they didn’t know. I mentioned that our floor (tile) was wet and a housekeeper came in with a shower towel and wiped it up. I said, "Doesn't this need to be mopped or disinfected?" She said, no and left. The days after, the hall and our room smelled of mildew. The last night we were there, March 3rd 2018, we came back from a park to find every parking spot was filled. I noticed all the cars were backed into the spots, my husband got out and took pictures of all 7 of the handicapped spots that were being used by NON handicapped drivers. We realized that valet had used these spots for their own use. We went in and talked to the manager, she informed us that she had the right to use these spots as the hotel was private property.
I asked where do I park? She stated that there wasn’t ANY spots available to park, that we’d need to park our car off the property, when I got upset, she said that valet would park it for us, and that we needn’t pay for this feature. She offered to give us back 4 of our 8 days of stay after I talked about calling the police. We told her that’s not what we wanted, just a place for ALL handicapped people to be able to park. I'm a disabled person, I’m not looking to receive things. But, when you have able-bodied people being given a spot and a disabled person being told to park off the property, that just angers me.
I did some research and found other disabled travelers who also were told to park in the very back, which is about a city block away from the hotel, this lady was a single disabled women, trying to walk to the hotel, alone, in the dark. This is wrong on all levels. I do have photos of all of these complaints. I have only begun to bring awareness, on how disabled patrons are being treated at this location. Never ever again will I stay at a Hilton, if this is how we’re to be treated I don’t want to give photos or order number, I will give them if asked but not on this page.

We brought our own food on a recent trip to Doubletree by Hilton in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, assuming there would be a microwave and fridge in a Hilton, because even Motel 6 have microwaves in every room. I was shocked that this fancy, and clean by the way, hotel with the Hilton name on did not only not have microwave ovens in the rooms, they didn't even have any available to customers anywhere in the 6 story building. I had to get someone in the restaurant to heat my stuff in their microwave, which they were willing to do, but it was extremely embarrassing to ask them to.

DO NOT stay at Hilton Hotels. They are the worst and actually outright lied after making excuses and not simply accepting responsibility for making a mistake. Then on top of that the general manager took the cowardly and/or disrespectful route and wouldn’t even call or otherwise contact after head office promised he would. One customer service rep even told me we were lucky that we’ve only been screwed over once as she has been numerous times by hotels herself. Really? It’s now the norm to book a room direct and months in advance and show up and not have the right room you’re paying full price for? There are tons of hotels Hilton and yours won’t be one we ever stay in again.
