Never Again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/12/10
Upon arrival, the vallet attendants were very helpful. Unfortunately, that is were the pleasantness ceased! We reserved a smoking room and were given a non-smoking. Yep you guessed it...after unloading and unpacking, we had to change rooms. There wasn't an iron and the fridge didnt work. They replaced it, but that one didn't work either. (Thank goodness we had coolers.) Our first night, I was putting things under the desk area and was bitten by a spider! The hotel staff(at the desk) insisted I file an incident report, complete with all of my personal information. Upon rerturning the report, another staff member, who was RUDE, refused to sign the report and also wouldn't give me a copy. I returned later, to see management, and informed her if she had MY signature and information, I was entitled the same. She signed the report and gave me a copy. During this time, the A/C wasnt working well, probably due to the dust and mold coating the vents. The bathroom vents also werent working, so the doors had to remain open to breathe! Good thing we are all friends and vanity wasn't an issue! On day three of this "trip", I was bitten again by another spider. Housekeeping said and I quote, "since you are the only one being bitten, you must have brought them with you"!!!!!!! (My "area" was around the desk) Another incident report to file.ugh!
Now, here is a hotel. that booked a DOG convention, and is throwing people out of the hotel for dogs barking...but a guest is spider bitten and oh well, you brought them with you!
New topic...food! The breakfast bar was good, although I had a terrible stomachache afterwards.(could be the food, could be me, could be the venom) The dessert at lunch was delicious! That's about it. EVERY other meal was awful!!
My overall rating would be two thumbs and four paws down!
I would like to add that our housekeeper was so sweet and helpful. SHE gets a bravo!
It's a shame that this experience will keep me from ever staying at a Hilton again.
A formal letter to corparate will follow these postings.
One more thing, since I have to give a "star" rating I will, but they wouldnt receive any if I had my choice!
