Not
really
a
4-star
hotel
anymore.
From
Investopedia:
"Four-star
hotels
offer
loads
of
special
services
and
amenities,
including
concierge
services,
fine
dining,
multiple
pools,
and
hot
tubs,
high-class
fitness
centers,
bellhops,
room
service,
valet
parking,
day
spas,
limousine
services,
and
an
array
of
special
suites."
No
valet.
No
bellhops.
No
pool.
Nothing
high
class
about
the
treadmill
room.
The
dining
was
fine,
but
average
at
best
with
exceptionally
slow
service.
They
didn't
even
bother
with
room
service;
not
even
replacing
the
coffee
or
towels.
Absolutely
zero
effort
was
put
in
by
anyone
at
this
hotel.
The
security
guard
was
at
least
pleasant
and
greeted
me
when
I
awkwardly
stood
in
the
lobby
waiting
for
service.
Good
for
him.
Embarrassing
for
the
concierge.
COVID
isn't
a
viable
excuse
anymore
for
non-existent
services.
Read
this
little
blurb
from
Hilton's
2022
first
quarter
financial
statement:
"Christopher
J.
Nassetta,
President
&
Chief
Executive
Officer
of
Hilton,
said,
"We
are
happy
to
report
solid
first
quarter
results,
with
all
segments
driving
better
than
expected
top
line
performance
in
March.
Our
results
in
the
quarter,
coupled
with
our
confidence
in
continued
recovery
throughout
the
year,
enabled
us
to
begin
returning
capital
to
shareholders
earlier
than
we
had
anticipated.
In
March,
we
resumed
our
share
repurchase
program
and,
in
the
second
quarter,
we
declared
a
quarterly
cash
dividend.
Our
team
members
worked
hard
to
effectively
navigate
the
pandemic
and
position
the
Company
for
the
future,
and
we
are
excited
for
the
growth
opportunities
that
lie
ahead."
So,
Hilton
is
having
such
incredible
profits
they
are
doing
a
share
buyback.
That's
really
amazing.
Meanwhile,
they
aren't
offering
even
the
most
basic
level
of
services
you
should
expect
from
a
4-star
hotel.
Let's
be
honest,
only
the
price
is
4-stars
at
the
Hilton
right
now.
The
actual
experience
is
a
2-star
at
best.
