This
was
perhaps
the
worst
hotel
experience
I’ve
ever
had.
When
I
arrived
at
1am,
they
claimed
not
to
have
my
reservation
and
that
they
had
no
available
rooms.
The
front
desk
clerk
was
helpful
and
cordial
at
first.
He
contacted
his
manager
who
seemed
to
authorize
him
to
call
nearby
hotels
to
check
on
their
availability.
After
an
hour
with
no
success,
he
seemed
to
be
calling
roadside
motels
at
which
point
I
said
that
I
would
only
stay
in
another
Hilton
property
and
I
don’t
care
if
they
have
to
put
me
in
a
taxi
to
go
to
London
to
do
so.
The
manager
(who
either
lived
nearby
or
was
elsewhere
in
the
hotel)
came
to
the
front
desk
in
an
effort
to
help
but
only
made
matters
worse
because…
I
asked
(for
confirmation
purposes
only)
who
would
be
paying
for
the
new
hotel
and
he
said
that
I
would
be
responsible
for
the
cost.
At
that
point,
I
had
them
call
Hilton’s
Diamond
Desk
(HDD).
The
representatives
that
I
spoke
with
from
HDD
were
careful
with
their
wording
as
they
apologized
for
how
the
hotel
was
treating
me.
They
confirmed
that
I
had
a
reservation
and
called
the
hotel
on
another
line
to
help
resolve
the
situation.
HDD
refunded
the
points
I
used
to
secure
the
room
and
by
that
time
(4:30am),
a
guest
was
checking
out
early
to
catch
a
flight
so
they
offered
me
that
room
(after
the
manager
ensured
that
it
was
properly
cleaned
and
refreshed…
which
to
be
fair,
it
was).
While
I
was
waiting
for
the
room
to
be
readied,
I
shared
my
frustration
with
the
front
desk
clerk.
In
an
irritated
but
calm
voice,
I
told
him
that
I
think
the
hotel
released
my
room
when
I
hadn’t
shown
up
by
midnight
and
that
they
knew
they
had
a
guest
leaving
early
so
did
not
try
hard
enough
to
get
me
a
room
elsewhere
(because
HDD
confirmed
the
availability
of
rooms
at
the
other
Hilton
property
nearby).
The
clerk
responded
by
telling
me
that
I
could
leave
and
go
elsewhere
if
I
didn’t
want
or
appreciate
their
help.
By
this
time
it
was
5:00am
and
I
was
beyond
exhausted.
On
principal
I
would
have
gone
elsewhere
but
at
that
point
I
had
my
points
and
I
had
a
free
room
so…
instead,
I
sat
silently
until
I
was
able
to
check
in.
I
slept
in,
showered,
and
left
(KNOWING
THAT
I
WOULD
NEVER
RETURN
NOR
RECOMMEND
ANYONE
EVER
STAY
HERE).
The
clerk
upon
checkout
got
a
new
manager
who
apologized
for
what
happened
the
night
before
and…
in
an
effort
to
make
me
feel
better
said
that
based
on
what
happened,
the
hotel
wouldn’t
be
charging
me.
Why
would
he
tell
me
something
that
had
already
been
confirmed
by
HDD
as
if
he
were
doing
me
a
favor?
I
am
giving
two
stars
because
the
room
was
what
I
expected,
the
bed
comfortable,
and
the
shower
ok.
It’s
like
any
other
Hampton
except
shady
management.
I
will
make
a
formal
complaint
to
Hilton.
