No one was going to ruin our date night in our favorite city! Not even this Hilton manager. MIchael Van. Always a smile on his face yet nothing but no no no. We took advantage of a third party booking company .....rhymes with fat tire.....as this was a last minute getaway. Never realized doing such a booking placed one into the inhospitable category Mr. Van placed us in.
Like to use our Honors number......NO
Would like a king bed.....NO
Will pay for an upgraded room.....NO
He did ask if we liked to drink....dealing with such grace...and gave us 2 free drinks. Wooohoooooo!
Bottom line is we felt we were being admonished for using such a discount site and this made us embarrassed and uncomfortable upon checkin.
But like I said...we were in the city to have fun and on our way to our favorite restaurant, The Slanted Door. No one was going to rain on our parade!
So, we went to our closet, Ooops, I mean room, to get ready for a wonderful evening. I kid you not...a double bed ( do they even offer these in hotels anymore? ) and a room so small ....a shoe cupboard for a closet...the ironing board was stored next to the TV.
I must add the room was very clean. When 2 people, one 6'2" and one 5' 8" , hire a room...one is not usually thinking a double bed will be on the roster. But we made the best of it...unfortunately the unwelcoming check in has left us vowing to NEVER stay at ANY Hilton again. Thre are a lot of options...even with fattire...you can say no to the hotel and use the money towards another.
Inhospitable, aloof and demeaning, nice smile.
