I’d stay there again. Needed to have a clerk at the counter when checking out. We were on a time crunch and waited a few minutes but no one was around.
Reception was good. However, when I checked out, I asked for a receipt for the stay. The front desk would not provide one since I booked through Hotels.com. I asked why and was told that was the way it was. I said I provided a credit card and expected a receipt. I was not obliged. Further, the lady at the desk was not interested in explaining anything. Hilton needs to train its staff and explain why I was not permitted a receipt. I was not happy!
I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. Unfortunately, it is really showing its age and is overdue for updating and replacing worn out everything. The staff was friendly and breakfast typical.
The hotel did not receive anything from hotels.com saying I had paid for my stay in advance so the hotel charged me again for a room I had already paid for. Now, hotels.com is refusing to refund me for their error. I paid double for a room that had no special amenities. I will be discontinuing use of hotels.com going forward.
