I asked for another room because they put us by the dining area. The answer i got was, they cant give me a different room because i booked with Expedia. Middle of the night i was chatting with Expedia and they apologized and offered me $75 for my next booking and that i will have answer orsolution in 24hrs. 24hrs passed and checked out, no message from expedia. I spoke to the receptionist and another guy -looks like a manager when i checked out about my experience and they tild me that, thats the policy. Never had experience like it in any hotel i had used in the past. So whose to blame.

After booking the room on Expedia, we arrived to check-in within a 15-minute window as well as late evening (10:40). The front desk person was super understanding and helpful. Since had two young children, they worked to ensure we were provided with a quiet room. They went above and beyond in the customer service department. Kudos!!! They are an awesome representative for the Hampton Inn and Hilton.
