Woodland Hills Hotels & Accommodations

On July 18th 2022, my husband and I arrived at the HGI in Calabasas at noon which I realize is prior to stated check in time. I absolutely, positively and completely understand that check in time is 4:00 p.m. The problem is that we were informed our room was ready...HOWEVER...in order to check in prior to 4 pm I would have to pay an additional $75.00. I did not pay it. This is on top of the $187.00 a night I was already paying for the room. I was told this was corporate policy....however...NOWHERE...not in large print or the very small print on my reservation was this stated, nor was it stated anywhere on the Hilton Garden Inn website, or the website for this actual property. There were NO signs posted anywhere inside of the hotel stating this fact. If it is a policy, rule, program, plan or procedure it MUST BE STATED SOMEWHERE. . On the website for this actual property...under the tab ”Hotel Policies”...it does not show any fee for early check in, but early check out or late check have $0.00 fees. I have lost count as to how many people I have spoken with including the director of sales at the property (Eduardo) who basically told me they can do as they wish and blew me off. I have been in email contact with the front office manager (Alyssa) at that hotel and her response was the ”thank you for bringing this to our attention...blah, blah, blah”. I did speak with two people in Hilton corporate guest relations and was finally given additional Hilton Honors points. They now consider the case closed. I do not consider the case closed. No one seems to understand that there has to be notification of additional charges. I am still angry and frustrated, and after the way we were treated and disrespected at the hotel and again by all of the many people I have been in contact with I do not feel valued or appreciated as a guest or a Hilton Honors member. I am questioning my future relationship with the Hilton chain.

We like the Airtel. We’ve stayed here many times over the years. We were told they closed to the public for a couple years and became a homeless shelter. Admirable, but now that they’re open to the public again they really need to resume the same services they had. No restaurants. No in-room coffee. No microwave. No refrigerator (unless you ask for one and lucky enough to get one of few they have left). Crack in the bathroom sink. Not even an ice-machine, but at least you can bring your ice bucket to the front desk and they’ll fill it for you. It’s evident that they HAVE been working on restoring the place; the room was clean, great pillows, A/C worked fine, but they have a long way to go to regain their “former glory”. Were it not for Gary at the front desk (who did everything in his power to make us happy), we probably wouldn’t be back, but we will return.
