To say I am disappointed with the experience my family and I had during our recent stay, would be an understatement. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward hotel stay became a series of frustrating interactions and unacceptable service failures (broken iron, disconnected room phone, rude front desk clerk, filthy shower vent, trash bag left on floor and room door left ajar for hours after cleaning) on the backend of our stay.
At no point did I feel that the inconvenience or frustration experienced was acknowledged with urgency or empathy. Respectfully, being “under renovation” should not excuse basic operational functionality or poor customer service. More importantly, the active renovation was not disclosed anywhere in the booking app prior to our arrival.
Our overall experience - with the exception of the familiar Hilton professionalism and courtesy shown by Andre and Matthew during checkout - reflected a concerning lack of operational readiness, communication, and overall guest care. While I understand renovations can create challenges, guests should still be able to expect functioning room essentials, responsive service, professionalism from staff, and basic cleanliness and security standards.
