I recently stayed at the Hilton ****************, and my entire experience was extremely unpleasant. What made it worse is that I was not notified about the ongoing workers' strike before I arrived. If I had known, I would have reconsidered my stay. During my time there, workers were yelling and banging drums until 10 PM every night. The noise was unbearable, and there was no housekeeping service available. Trash and dirty towels were left in the hallways for days, creating an unsanitary environment. Additionally, the line to speak to anyone at the front desk was consistently an hour ******* make matters worse, I was overcharged by nearly $1,000 upon checkout. I was incorrectly billed for parking, and my daily meal credits were not applied. I spoke to the front desk, who assured me the issue would be resolved and that I would be refunded. However, I only received a partial refund. I tried to contact the hotel multiple times, but my calls always went to voicemail, and I never received a call or email back.I escalated the issue to Hilton Honors customer service and opened several tickets, but it took three weeks of back-and-forth with Hilton to finally get a response. Corporate eventually informed me that they would be sending a check for the refund, but it will take 30 days to receive it. They also mentioned that the actual hotel refused to issue the refund, and corporate had to step in to handle ***** someone who stays at Hilton properties for 5-6 months out of the year, this experience was incredibly disappointing. I expect a much higher level of service from Hilton, especially considering my loyalty to the brand. I would not recommend staying at the Hilton **************** unless these issues are addressed.Review from Henna M

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! If I could give 0 stars I would. I recently stayed at the Hilton at Resorts World Bimini from October 13 to October 16, and I feel it's important to share my experience as a warning to future guests.Upon arrival, I learned about an unexpected internet outage due to storm damage, which wasnt communicated to me beforehand. The hotel had administrative internet access and could have easily informed guests in advance, which would have made a huge difference.Throughout my stay, I was moved between six different rooms due to broken air conditioning and mold odors. Frustratingly, no one had working room keys, so everyone had to rely on security to open our doors each time.Things took a turn on my birthday when I was locked out of my room due to a credit card dispute. I had already spoken to someone at the front desk who assured me I could pay at checkout, but the new agent denied that and insisted on immediate payment. I was hassled and kicked out of my room, despite the hotel already having my credit card information and charging me anyway. When I asked for my passport to resolve the situation, I was denied access to it. Being locked out and unable to retrieve my belongings was incredibly distressing.Additionally, the hotel experienced power outages that left the elevators nonfunctional, forcing me to navigate dark stairwells, which felt unsafe. Promised amenities, like the casino, were unavailable, and the lack of WiFi and functional air conditioning made for an uncomfortable ******* the end, I had to sleep somewhere else, all over a resort fee. I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience. If youre considering a stay, be aware of these significant issues.Hilton Worldwide Response

Home2 Suites by Hilton, Columbus, On 9/18 I encountered several issues, including a dirty shower with pubic hair and black mold, and hairs on the bed, requiring fresh linens. Despite requesting cleaning while I was out taking my state boards, the shower remained dirty upon my return. The room wasn't ready at check-in, and the air conditioning unit needed maintenance, which the staff was discussing: "That part just needs to be popped in." Maybe it shouldve been cleaned as well!After leaving on 9/19 at 7 a.m. and returning at 11:40 a.m., the shower was still dirty, forcing me to take a sink bath. When I told the manager on duty that I took a sink bath, he made a derogatory comment, saying, "We call that a hoe bath," and He then instantly responded , saying he had already refunded the amount back to the virtual card and it would take 3-7 days. refund.However, I haven't received it after a week, which prompted my review. He then instantly responded to my email, and became even more unprofessional Ive attached email and pictures of the room after I returned and found it to still not be clean. I contacted *********** to check if anything had been returned, and they said they would reach out to the hotel. Ironically, the manager on duty had not returned their calls, but within minutes of my review, he quickly responded. *********** has also made notes of the time frame as well!Hilton Worldwide Response

I got bed bugs on my stay at ******************** and took pictures of the bugs along with the dead bugs and blood on the sheets. The hotel manager was not there when we checked out and I was told that the manager would call me back that day. I have never received a call from the manager. I contacted the corporate headquarters and was told that I would receive a refund for my stay and that someone would contact me and neither have happened. I now have received an email from the hotel manager who states that they checked the room and there were no signs of bedbugs. He also said that he had tried to call me but I had no missed call from the manager. took multiple pictures with dates of my stay showing the bed bugs and blood on the sheets. The manager has now misrepresented the truth about the phone call and the presence of bed bugs. Do not stay at these hotels! Dishonest company!bedbugs. They offered $100 toward a future stay.Hilton Worldwide Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for speaking with me today about your experience.
Our **************** has forwarded your Better Business Bureau Review (ID #******* regarding your stay at the independently owned and operated Hampton Inn **********-North. Allow me to reiterate our unreserved apologies for the disappointment with your overall experience. We deeply regret falling short of your expectations and our high standards.
Your feedback was shared with the hotel leadership via Guest Assistance case #********* for their internal review. Please know that we take reports of bed bugs very seriously. Following your feedback, the hotel leadership conducted a thorough inspection of your guestroom. The hotel reported that no evidence of bed bugs was found during this inspection. However, I understand this does not diminish the discomfort and inconvenience you experienced.
Although the hotel did not find evidence of bugs in your room, we understand you remain dissatisfied due to a lack of communication from the hotel leadership. As a goodwill gesture for the service failure, your stay has been refunded in full.
Once again, I apologize for your overall experience. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.
Best regards,

I recently stayed at the Doubletree in *********** for 5 nights. 10/15-10/20 I had stayed at this hotel several times in the past and had no issues. This time the staff were extremely not friendly or helpful until the day I checked out. Also on the last night of my stay I came back to my room at 2:30am due to working an event and there where a million ants crawling on my wall. I called the front desk to let them know but it was so late I had a lot of luggage and I was physically unable to move to another room at that time and I was checking out that day, I couldnt move rooms. They didnt offer to send maintenance or offer spray or anything I killed them the best I could with hairspray so I could at least sleep but when I checked out in the morning, they didnt even offer to discount my room at all, not even a little bit for the trouble. My room was fine the whole week except for that last night. I have photos to prove this as well. There was a crack in the ceiling, and it was like the ants where coming from the crack by the window, I was not the only person in my group to have problems with ants this trip but Im very upset. They didnt at least try to take a little bit of money off for that night.Hilton Worldwide Response

I stayed at Home 2 suites in *************** on 10/1/2024-10/17/2024, I was double billed $531.15 and attempted charge twice of $408.40 the general manager said she was unable to fix the billing error she tried to but had no idea how to fix the error. The mattress for the sofa bed had black Marking on it which I thought was bed bugs I told the Manager she changed my room from #*** to #*** without any apology or showed any empathy. Then arriving to room #*** that room had the same black markings on the mattress as well. Then on 10/17/2024 | noticed another charge of $408.40 the same amount I paid at check in, it makes you wonder how many quests has been over charge, the staff member at this hotel needs training on billing.Hilton Worldwide Response

In August 2024 we were abused and mistreated by a Hilton manager of the Homewood Suites in *********, *********,, who gave us 20 minutes to pack up and leave before he called the police, because we had dared to complain about a defective smoke alarm in our room. He promised us a refund for the remainder of our stay, but it never was issued and we can't get a straight answer from the individual hotel or Hilton management. We were promised a refund of over $800 but it looks like it never will happen (supposed was issued on August 29). We spent over an hour on the phone today (Oct. 16 2024) speaking with the assistant manager of the Wisconsin hotel and Hilton **** to no avail. We are so frustrated and angry, and will never stay at a HIlton property again.Hilton Worldwide Response

Dear *******,
Thank you for your reply.We sincerely apologize for the delay in getting the refund. There has never been a question of providing a refund. The process is what has proven difficult since Advance Purchase rates by design are nonrefundable and unchangeable reservations, so hotels are not always familiar with the refund process.
Thank you for confirming the refund was posted to your account on October 17, 2024. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this process. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us via the BBB.
Best regards,

Booked this hotel via ************************** where a pet fee of $50 was advertised. The hotel accepted the terms of the booking when they accepted my reservation, however when I showed up the property I was told that I would be charged $75 for my pet. After explaining the terms of my booking to ******* and the manager on duty *******, they ***orted that it was not their issue and that I would have to pay the $75 because they advertise it as such on **************************. This is a website I didnt visit, Id you dont want to honor terms on third parties then update them or stop accepting the reservations! Given it was midnight and they also wouldnt refund my stay, I was basically held hostage. I called Hiltons corporate office and they stated that they could not change the hotel policy and suggested that I discuss with a manager on duty (already did). I also feel was dealing with an offshore contact center and *** had a hard time understanding me, and **** versa. They asked for confirmation number 3 separate times during our ******* any case, I gave filed a formal complaint with the *** over these deceptive business practices because while it is only $25, if they are doing it to me they are likely doing it to thousands of others. Shame on you Hilton. This is why there are multiple class actions against chains like yours with deceptive business practices.Hilton Worldwide Response

I hope this email finds you well. This is ***** from the **************** of Hilton; I am responding to your BBB review ****** regarding your third-party disclosures at the Doubletree ********************************.
We sincerely apologize for the misinformation posted on the ********** website. We understand how frustrating it must have been to discover the true charge for pet fees upon arrival and to question the discrepancy.
Third-party booking sites like ********** are not monitored by Hilton, as they are not official websites endorsed by **************************. For concerns about the discrepancy, we suggest you contact the third-party booking site to address their transparency of charges. While we empathize with your inconvenience and have taken steps to report the incorrect information, we are unable to change details on their websites.
Thank you for being a Hilton Honors Blue member. We appreciate your feedback and welcome you back for a future stay.Review from Patty L

I was disappointed when Hilton Doubletree in ******* FL did not offer discounts to evacuatees during hurricane ******. We didnt have electricity for one day and we didnt get discounts. The least they could do is offer some compassion to those who had to evacuate their homes. I will not use Hilton Hotels in the future and I will spread the word how money hungry they are. Where is your compassion to those who lost their homes? Thanks for nothingHilton Worldwide Response

Hello and thank you for your kindness during our call this evening. This is ***** with the ***************** I am responding to your BBB complaint regarding your stay at Doubletree by Hilton ***************.
We understand the hotel was out of power due to Hurricane ******, our hearts go out to all that was effect by this natural disaster.
We have reviewed the information provided; due to the outage of power the hotel did provide $ discount for the one night of no power. We are thankful that this has been provided to you, which should appear on your credit card statement. Regrettably, the hotel did provide the lowest rates during this time and will not be able to provide any further discounts.
Ms. , thank you for being a loyal Hilton Honors Blue member and wish you and your family well on the recovery after the hurricanes.
