Hilton is a well-respected and trusted name in hospitality, which made this experience particularly disappointing. Upon check-in, my reservation could not initially be located. I was provided a breakfast voucher only 15 minutes before breakfast service ended, rather than at the time of check-in.
Additionally, there were used, dirty towels from a previous guest left in the restroom, indicating that the room had not been properly serviced. More concerning, there was an active water leak in the bathroom above the sink that appeared to be coming from the light fixture. The water ran down the mirror and wall, onto the counter and floor, pooling and soaking my personal hygiene items. The carpet outside the restroom was also saturated, creating an unpleasant odor in the room.
When I notified the front desk, I was offered the option to move to another room; however, I was informed that I would not have a working room key and would need staff assistance each time to access the room, as only a master key would function. This solution was not practical or appropriate under the circumstances.
I believe more should have been done to properly accommodate this situation, and I expect a higher standard of service and care from a brand with Hilton’s reputation.
