If I could give this place no stars, I would. Booked two rooms back in January as we knew we were headed down for a friends wedding. Got our confirmation email, everything was fine. Decided we would be heading down a day earlier, so We called (beginning of February) to adjust the reservation, they say we are good to go, state the dates of our stay, and tell us they ll see us in March. Leave Illinois on the 22nd and split the drive into two days. Get here just to find out that instead of changing the dates of our original booking, they added a third room. The second half of our party was told there wasn t a room for them until the next day because they were booked. We explained the situation to the manager, who looked us up in the system and confirmed our original reservation date, as well as the fact that we called to change it in early February. After admitting this, she still refused to help us. When asked if they would talk to the manager at another Hampton to see if they would match the wedding block rate that we had received, we were told no. We asked if they would then credit us the difference in cost, since it was their error and the woman got defensive and rude, saying she was done with this, kept cutting us off, and continuing with her, Not my problem attitude. We asked to speak with the manager and were told she was the manager. We then spent a good deal of time explaining we didn t need three rooms and what had happened. All we kept getting was attitude. After confirming they had another place to stay (for $60 more than the rate we had been given) my in laws left to head to that hotel. My husband and I started to get checked in with the other woman at the desk and politely asked one last time if there was anything they could do to credit us for the troubles - many other hotels in the area were booked and it took my inlaws several phone calls to even find a place with an opening. Again, Chelsea May the manager cut us off and at this point told the other woman to cancel our reservation all together. She then shook her finger at us and said she wasn t dealing with us and they could refuse to serve us. We were then stuck in the parking garage calling hotel after hotel until we finally found arrangements at a LaQuinta nearby - a solid hour and a half later - with rates $70 more expensive per night. We were polite, the manager admitted the hotel could see both dates we called and that somehow someone didn t to their part to update our reservation. We never got even a simple apology from the beginning. After this, she also refused to print our reservation history and give it to us- something she said we could have a copy of early in the conversation, and we had to fight to get a print out confirmation that there would be no charges to our credit card. If anything so much as a cancellation fee shows up, we will dispute the charges and we will be calling corporate when we get home. This was by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced. We have never have had a problem at Hampton Inns before, but this experience has ruined the chances of me giving my money to any Hampton Inn in the future.
