I have stayed with Hilton for years as a Hilton Honors Platinum member, and this was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had.
I had been staying at this property for several days while waiting to move into my new apartment and was extending my stay one day at a time. A reservation issue occurred after a third-party booking changed my dates. I worked with hotel management to resolve it and was assured it was being handled. At no point was I told there was a deadline to arrive or that my reservation would be refused.
After work, I booked another night, paid for it, and arrived around 11:00 p.m. with my children expecting to check in. Instead, the front desk informed me that management had instructed staff not to accept my reservation. Had I been told this earlier, I could have booked one of the several nearby hotels before arriving late at night with my children.
What happened next was heartbreaking. My children and I were left without accommodations and ultimately spent the night outside the hotel while our belongings remained inside the room we had been staying in. On top of that, multiple charges and refunds tied up hundreds of dollars, leaving my bank account overdrawn during an already stressful move.
This review is not about a simple reservation mistake—those can happen. It is about how management handled the situation. Communication was poor, there was no meaningful effort to help us find a solution, and the outcome left a family without a place to sleep.
