I am a Hilton Honors member and I stay in Hampton Inns multiple times a year. The key to any brand is consistency and this property is clearly falling short, mainly in the area of service. Digital key didn't work at check-in. Young woman at front desk said, ”It hasn't worked in weeks.” No ”sorry,” no care whatsoever. (For frequent travelers, the digital key, and being able to skip being processed at the front desk, is the main reason to stay with the brand.) There was no shampoo in the guest room, for example, and so, after a long day of travel, I went to the front desk to ask for some. The front desk person looked around, couldn't find any, and, after several minutes of looking, handed me some shampoo from another brand, something that looked like she grabbed it from the lost & found drawer. Again, no ”sorry,” no care, no ”Would you like some sent up to your room tomorrow?” Same lack of care when I asked for my rate to be adjusted to my company's corporate rate: ”I can't do that. My manager has to do that.” No ”sorry for the inconvenience,” no ”let us make it easier on you on I'll leave a note and have the manager do it for you tomorrow,” nothin'. She didn't even have the energy to say, ”Come back tomorrow,” which would have been annoying, but at least better than the blank stare of ”sucks to be you” that I received. Got the same attitude from the front desk in subsequent days when I asked for decaf coffee. And again when I asked for a check-out time of Noon. No one ever asked, not once, ”how's your stay?” or ”Is there anything else we can do for you?” Staff needs basic, basic customer service training where smiling is step one in the formula. My refrigerator in the room was broken, but I didn't dare tell anyone. I couldn't bare another indifferent response. The room itself was clean, but a bit beat and the mattress sloped downward toward the headboard in an uncomfortable way. As I said, not a great representative of the Hampton or Hilton brand.
Excellent
