If it was possible to give this "hotel" a zero we would. The people running this hotel should be fired for incompetence and endangering customers health.
We have stayed here many times while visiting family, but this will be our last stay. We travel around the world and as long as our room is clean, the rooms are serviced daily and the AC works we aren't that picky. We booked 2 junior suites for my husband and I, our son and his very pregnant wife and their 2 girls age 3 years and 10 months. Their AC DID NOT WORK AT ALL! Ours was not great so they gave us both box fans. BOX FANS. We later discovered many others on the 6th floor also had no AC. BOX FANS FOR EVERYONE!
For the 4 days we were there NO ONE ANSWERED THE FRONT DESK PHONE, EVER! My husband had to go down to the lobby and stand in line at the front desk daily (some days 4 times a day) to get someone to look at the AC, the first day 3 times he went down, nothing was fixed. Our pregnant daughter in law was getting physically ill from the heat.
No one came and cleaned our room for the 3 nights we were there (yes we requested daily service). When returning to our HOT, dirty, unserviced room the first day we of course called the front desk (no one answers the front desk remember, yes this is a supposed to be a nice Hilton people) with no answer and again my husband goes back down to the lobby. Hours later after 8pm we finally were delivered some towels, we had to physically hand them the trash bags and could not get refills for the coffee machine because the woman understood zero English, plus she was only towels, no supplies. She did however know how to pick up the tip that had sat there all day waiting for housekeeping.
For $240 a night these simple things are what we paid for, this isn't the Ritz, but AC is mandatory.
We were told there were no rooms for our son and his family to move to. We could have all slept in our room on a filthy couch or filthy dirty carpet but that wasn't happening. At this point we were desperately trying to find another place to move our family to before we ended up having to make an emergency room visit but had no luck.
After sending emails to the "general manager" Perry Hansen, we were replied to with a form letter saying they would give us future rooms if we would give them a 5 star rating! UNBELIEVABLE!! Nothing fixed, still no service, just some CYA platitude email. I would pitch a tent and have a better stay on the grass out front and would not stay here again even if it was free.
We received the same form email (which I will attach) multiple times from this clown all while nothing was done. It seems posting pics of yourself on FB is more important than taking care of customers. Hilton, you really have dropped the ball here, this is an epic fail, my next letter is to your corporate office where I will add more details of their incompetence. Then to ever other travel site where I have accounts.
By some miracle the second night, after a brutal first night they "found" a room to at least move my sons family to. While moving we met another family who had been there for 4 days with NO AC FOR THEIR WHOLE STAY. They were given the same excuse, no rooms, here's a box fan and suck it up. They luckily got to leave before us and refunded for their stay in full. Interesting right? Like us they were busy during the day thinking they would come back to a clean, cool room only to find a HOT, DIRTY, UNSERVICED ROOM and a completely absent management staff.
This joke of a hotel ruined a trip we had planned months for, the way we were treated was inexcusable and our daughter in law's and grandchildren's well being from the heat and the hotels neglect was bordering on criminal.
The general manager cares nothing about the customers and only about his "5 star rating" which apparently he thinks can be bought with future free stays, I can only imagined how you would be treated if you paid nothing here! Makes you question the legitimacy of other reviews right? We have been Hilton customers for over 40 YEARS and this is not typical, it is sad and pathetic if this type of service is now considered acceptable in the Hilton chain. This was a $2500 mistake we will not make again and hopefully helps prevent others from making the same mistake.
AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. read more
