Hilton Polaris

The hotel refused to correct an error on our reservation and charged us for a third night even though we were checking out the day before. We also were charged another $25 fee for checking in one hour early to a room that was empty and ready. The front desk said all of this is automatic and there is nothing they could do. Service groups can always do something. I would not stay at this property again due to my experience with the front desk staff.

Why did I even pay to park?

I booked this trip as a getaway for my Mom’s 60th birthday. At check-in Friday, the front desk agent was polite, the room was clean, and the bartender on Friday evening was AMAZING, very attentive. Overall, the stay was good UNTIL we woke up Sunday to checkout at 1pm and went to the parking lot to find my car driver side window had been busted out. When I went back into the hotel to inform the agent she didn’t apologize for the inconvenience or sound concerned at all. She simply stated that “this happens a lot all around”. She didn’t even offer to take the parking off, I had to ask, and I believe it is still on my bill. I understand you don’t want to tell guests that this is likely to happen or happens a lot at your hotel, however, at check-in they could say please don’t leave any valuables or park in a certain area. This had to happen at 3 or 4am based on what time I parked the car. I’ve worked in the hotel industry in management, sales, and FD, and am aware that she could have done something to make it right or even just sound a little more concerned or apologetic. If this is something that happens at your hotel often, as nice of a hotel that it is, you should add more security or make sure they are actually in the parking lot at all hours. To top it off she told us we could go use the vacuum and tape nearby to patch up the window, which showed me others experienced this the same morning. Not a great gift on my moms birthday to drive 2 hrs back with plastic blowing loud!
