This
review
is
related
to
the
Homewood
Suites
Downtown
in
Albuquerque,
New
Mexico.
I
wanted
to
share
my
experience
in
hopes
that
other
patrons
may
benefit
from
it.
My
family
and
I
stayed
at
the
Homewood
Suites
Downtown,
which
shares
a
building
with
the
Hilton
Garden
Inn,
June
12-17
2023.
The
hotel
itself,
the
amenities,
are
actually
quite
nice.
Parking
and
surrounding
areas
are
another
story
(limited
parking,
numerous
parking
lots
scattered
around
a
1
block
area,
and
homeless
wandering
around
everywhere).
However,
this
review
is
actually
not
about
the
hotel,
but
rather
our
customer
experience
with
staff
and
management.
We
checked
out
of
the
hotel
on
Saturday
6/17
and
unfortunately
my
wife
left
her
purse
hanging
in
the
closet.
We
noticed
it
was
missing
when
we
returned
home
and
contacted
the
hotel.
Staff
agreed
to
look
for
the
purse
in
lost
and
found
and
committed
to
returning
our
call
after
they
had
done
so
and
checked
the
room.
We
didn’t
actually
get
a
call
back
so
when
I
followed
up
later
that
day,
we
were
informed
that
the
purse
was
not
in
the
lost
and
found
and
also
not
in
the
room
by
the
housekeeping
manager.
We
decided
to
escalate
our
concern
to
the
manager,
Omar
Canales,
and
spoke
to
him
initially
where
he
committed
to
speak
to
the
housekeeper
directly
and
review
the
camera
footage.
He
also
agreed
to
follow
up
with
us
later
that
day
and
gave
us
his
personal
email
address
because
his
Hilton
email
address
“Was
not
working.”
Needless
to
say,
after
numerous
calls
and
repeated
emails
we
never
spoke
to
him
again
nor
did
he
reach
out
to
us.
At
that
point,
I
reached
out
to
Hilton
customer
service.
It
seems
they
have
“Offshored”
customer
service
to
India
and
we
got
repeated
messages
from
different
reps
as
a
result,
none
helpful
or
overly
“Customer
Centric.”
We
got
the
usual,
“We
care
but
we
can’t
help,”
messages
and
each
time
we
tried
to
further
explain
our
concern,
we
got
the,
“We
understand,”
messages.
Very
frustrating
and
not
helpful
at
all.
Our
point
in
reaching
out
to
Hilton
directly
is
we
have
been
loyal
Hilton
customers
for
at
least
10
years
and
we
assumed
they
would
be
willing
to
compensate
us
in
some
form
for
the
issue,
points
even.
Turns
out
they
really
don’t
care
and
were
completely
unwilling
to
help
resolve
the
matter
as
it
is
a
“Hotel
Issue.”
Our
relationship
and
loyalty
is
with
Hilton,
not
any
specific
hotel,
so
this
policy
is
concerning
to
say
the
least.
Next,
we
escalated
to
the
general
manager,
Regina
with
similar
results,
never
spoke
to
her
and
she
never
returned
any
of
our
calls.
The
general
message
from
the
hotel
management
and
Hilton
was
-
pound
sand,
finders
keepers.
We
do
believe
the
housekeeper
stole
the
purse
and
neither
management
or
Hilton
is
unwilling
to
do
anything
about
it.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
Hilton
is
no
longer
my
hotel
of
choice,
I
am
moving
to
Marriott
Bonvoy
exclusively.
The
one
bright
spot
in
this
unfortunate
experience
is
American
Express.
We
were
able
to
recover
the
cost
of
the
purse
through
purchase
protection
from
AMEX
and
the
issue
was
resolved
in
24
hours
-
that
is
what
I
call
service!
Hilton
and
Homewood
suites,
you
should
be
ashamed
of
yourselves
and
how
you
handled
this.
