Not what I had expected
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/11/08
We reserved our room on-line and when we arrived at the Hilton, it was not at all what we expected for the cost. We stayed in room 805, where there is a very large stain on the carpet as you enter the room. There was a large rip in the top sheet on one of the beds and one of the drinking glasses was smudged and unclean looking. At 7:55 a.m. we awoke to a slight knock on the door followed by entry by a house keeping employee. We met her at the door and she asked us what time we would be leaving, rather than apologizing for waking us. Overall, the our experience was not at all what we expected when we chose to stay at the Hilton, we expected elegance, cleanliness and charm, not the case for our stay in London. The furnishings and fixtures were nothing fancy and were well worn. Perhaps there are other rooms that may be more impressive, although, at that price I'm not sure if I would take another chance.
