customer service needs improvement

I stayed at the Hilton for business this past weekend. The location is excellent, the rooms are comfortable, and the food was good. However, the customer service could use improvement. There was an issue during my stay—something that was a mistake rather than intentional—and it was resolved. The manager personally came over, apologized, and offered our company four drink coupons for the bar, which I appreciated. On Sunday morning, Starbucks inside the hotel was closed earlier than expected, so we asked the bar attendant if we could use the coupons for two non-alcoholic cocktails. To our surprise, we were told that the coupons were valid only for alcoholic beverages or coffee. I explained that we simply wanted the same cocktails, just without alcohol, which would actually cost the hotel less. Still, the answer remained no, and we were told, “You can come back tomorrow when Starbucks is open.” Since we were checking out that day, that wasn’t an option. In the end, we returned the four coupons with our best wishes. I share this not because of the initial mistake—which can happen anywhere and was handled well—but because the bar experience reflected a lack of customer service and flexibility. A simple solution could have turned the situation into a positive one, but instead it left a disappointing impression.

Not what I would expect from a Hilton. The grab and go items are very limited without any serious thought put into it. Whoever does the food service has no clue as to what a good snack or healthy and wholesome meals mean. For example, the lunch packs are cheese, eggs, melon and crackers. I mean what is that and who eats that? At the restaurant, there’s no option to take buffet items in a plate to your room, you have to order to-go. That must change. The parking situation is limited with the underground parking small and a small outdoor parking. This hotel needs to put some effort into their service. That is NOT what you expect from a Hilton in a major city in America.

They do have on site parking, but if you cannot get a spot outside you have to go to the basement and it is very cramped. Taking a truck or suv down there is not easy. It would not be for everyone, especially inexperienced drivers.
