My brief stay at the Hilton in Culver City rates possibly as one of the worst experiences in hotel stays I've ever had, and I've traveled extensively. Despite charging rates that are not considered inexpensive, there's a constant nickel and diming atmosphere at every turn, both explicit and implicit: $20 per night for a microwave oven, valet-only parking, ice bucket filled only by the bartender, a $34 breakfast buffet in which only the waiter can fetch your coffee, milk or juice, etc. And then there's the housekeeping. After a long day of activities, I returned to my room to find little change. While the beds were made and new towels were left, it was all that was done, despite my having left a tip: room garbage can not emptied, ice bucket untouched and still filled with melted ice, no coffee cups or glasses replenished, and the table top remained sticky as it was not wiped. I had expressly asked the housekeeper in the morning to leave a "Do Not Disturb" sign in the inside of my room door, as the one I had placed on the outside was taken. If you guessed I found no sign, then you understand how low is the quality of service in this hotel. I have received much better service and value while staying in other hotels costing less than half what I paid the Hilton at Culver City for the privilege of being disrespected. I am at a loss to comprehend how poorly run this hotel is, compared to earlier experiences at Hilton properties in years past. I will no longer stay at any Hilton.
