Okay Hilton

Staff were nice. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. The only issue was that the shampoo, condiotioner and body wash were empty when we got to the room. The pool was cold.

We were going to SC for my son’s graduation. After a 10 hour drive with a 12 year old and my parents aged 75&78 , I parked and went to check in. I paid in full via American Express and I had the paid receipt. The host charged my credit card again for the stay. I showed her my paid receipt for 4400.00 for two rooms. The supervisor said the receipt wasn’t enough and that I would have to call Expedia and straighten it out before she could check us in. After 1.5 hours and lots of tears, I just gave up and said I would work it out with American Express so I didn’t get charged two times. Amex is wonderful and were the only ones that would help me. I have a video of the 3 people at the desk yelling at me and told me to step aside and call Expedia. They said they have nothing to do with Expedia. After being checked in and missing my son’s graduation dinner due to the check in delay. I went to take a Shower, well no water pressure. You could have water pressure if you turned the faucet to max heat. Anyway, I think you get the point. The hotel was dirty. Service Was horrible. So disappointment with the Hilton establishment.

Let me just start off with saying that five stars go to the person who checked us in. She was very nice, professional, and helpful. But I cannot say the same for the room. As soon as I walked in, I tripped on a paddle off water, right outside the bathroom, causing a nasty bruise to my arm. There was also water around the toilet. Shower was not clean. There was a yellow urine like stain in the corner and some hair. Room had a mildew smell. There was also a random scrunched up pillowcase on the nightstand. I will usually ask for another room, but since we were there for only one night and it was already very late, we decided not to. At checkout, I informed the person at the front desk about the situation. She did say sorry but that was it. Nothing resembling official. Not that I’m looking for handouts, but something should be offer the reconciliation. In regards to parking, I had to make my own spot. We did arrive late, but while looking for a parking space, I did notice a people parking there and walking to town. There were many cars without parking permit which all hotel patterns receive to park.

You pay close to $600 for two nights and then they charge you extra for Wi-Fi, parking and breakfast. And there was absolutely no water pressure in the shower.. The staff was very polite and helpful. The rooms were average and the location was great.

The bathroom was not clean - hair was visible in the corner where the shower met the floor. There were no clothes hangers, wash cloths, or a hair dryer. The room phone did not work, so I could not easily call down to request these items. The emergency phone by the elevator also did not work.

Need clarification on pool. It is not a heated indoor pool. The soap and shampoo were not refilled and only 2 towels for 4 people. The room looks good just to stingy on the supplies.
