I am a hardcore Hilton lover. This time she cheated on me. Staying at Hilton's over 165 nights a year I am use to receiving exceptional value. But today April 26 I have see it all!
First there was construction all over the place and it was not listed on their website. I find that extremely disturbing. Next was the room. Some Hilton's show there age, this one hit the wall.
What made me sick to my stomach was I came in from work and the sofa seemed damp. There was nothing dripping and I had a water bottle laying there so I thought it was that. The next morning the sofa was soaked. I looked up at a small maintenance hatch and drip drip drip..... Called maintenance department they responded and opened up the hatch and assured me it was the cold water pipes.
Now, I get a call from the front desk, had to move to a new room. Here is why I refuse to come back here and I caution anyone who would be thinking of coming here. I asked if they could being the key up and a staff person to bring a trolley. No dice, the clerk sounded as if it were my fault that I had to move!
Next, looking up in the open hatch I clearly saw the bottom drain of the shower with bend underneath...MEANING MY SOFA WAS FULL OF SOMEONES USED SHOWER WATER..... I am posting picture as proof. Paint chips, water damage, pissed off staff, no assistance with moving....Not what I expected at an Embassy.
Two more things to consider. The hotel seems to be in a "high risk" area. You see security van patrolling the parking lot non-stop. The the final nail in the coffin. There is a freight train line within a few hundred feet and you can hear it clearly as they go by. For those who are old enough to remember I love Lucy there was a train scene when the Riccardo's and Mertz's were in a hillbilly hotel on their what to see uncle Ernie and the room shook so bad the bed moved across the floor.
I am being a bit dramatic on the train, but the totality of the problems makes it a place that I cannot and will not recommend. I snapped a few shots and posted them in my page here. Please take a look!
