I am still patiently waiting the result of a refund and I hope anyone that stays makes sure they get an itemized receipt of all charges. Even though, management will tell you they've gone paperless. We stayed at this location for a few days using a 3rd party website and the other 2 days was through Hilton Honors points.
Had I not see a receipt, I wouldn't have known they charged me full price for a one night stay versus the confirmed reservation for $50 plus 12,000 hhonors points. Seth (Front Desk Manager) stated he wasn't sure of the problem but would look into it however to no avail. I had to complain in front of everyone at the front desk in order for someone to recognized the issue and correct the problem. At this point, Seth begins to say he will fix it however it will take 3 to 5 business days for them to refund me the entire charges for the stay. Seth then says, he will like to comp our meal at the Miller Time Pub for the inconvenience while they sort things out. Not two hours later, my buddy gets an alert his bank of a recent charges from Miller Time Pub for the entire balance of the comp. What the heck is going on here...we were away from the hotel so I immediately began to call the hotel to request the manager on duty. Front Desk agent says, "the manager is currently with a guest right now and he will call you back soon". I waited one full hour and still no call. I called back to the front desk as I was still away from the hotel to ask for the manager on duty. She stated, "the manager is currently with a guest right now and he will call you back soon". By this time, I am extremely upset and I run back to the hotel to speak with a manager. He's still not available however the front desk staff contacted his bank to reverse the charges.
As it stands, I will have to contact all social media outlets to talk about my experience at this hotel because Seth was NOT helpful. I must wonder if I was a different color how things would've been taken care of. Not once did anyone ask to help us resolve our issues, nor assist us as they did other persons staying at the hotel. No one asked to help us with our bags, no one we told about the racism accepted the problem but instead that keep staying, "I can't believe that happened here".
No one told us about the amenities of the hotel. However as we stay, we see other person being helped with their bags and escorted to their rooms and treated with dignity and respect.
I am sure if there was an issue with me paying for my room, something would been done immediately as well as the authorities would be involved. This cannot be accepted...period! Seth (Manager) seemed to make excuses and didn't acknowledge the known problem in his hotel. He said, "sir we have ethnic people working here so I can't seem to understand why you had a problem". What does that mean?
As it stands today and based on my experience, I will never stay at an Hilton establishment in any city because all you guys do is avoid the problem. A breakfast comp or a drink comp doesn't help. Excepting the problem and making sure the rest of the stay at the hotel is better then before does help.
Let's see how long it take for the charges to be refunded, I was told yesterday a letter was faxed to my bank.
