This review is regarding the poor service of management, not the actual hotel room.
I am a very loyal Hilton customer. I booked a weekend stay at the Brooklyn Hilton several weeks ago. A day and a half before our visit, my wife came down very sick. We contacted the hotel to cancel our reservation. The hotel has a 48 hour cancellation policy. We were outside of the cancellation window. We called the hotel and begged them to allow us to cancel. They refused, they said sickness was not a good enough reason to cancel our room.
The manager we spoke with on the telephone was rude. The manager kept us hold for 15 minute increments. My instinct is that the manager was doing so, in hopes we would hang up. In the end, we were NOT refunded. We were charged the full amount as a cancellation penalty.
Hilton Corporate was helpful, and tried to get us a refund, but the local branch would not respond to corporate's requests. Hilton is not going to lose our business; however, I would HIGHLY recommend that you think carefully before staying at this particular Hilton location, if you have any issues during your stay, I do not think management will be considerate or helpful, their only concern is taking money from your wallet and putting it into their wallet.
