“Decent property, better choices in the area available though.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

I booked on points + cash for 15,000 pts + $50. Not a bad deal, considering the rate tonight (Thursday evening) was around $249. I have been to this property before, nothing exceptionally bad, or good, to say about it. Check-in tonight was extremely slow, there was 1 gentlemen spending forever arguing about his bill, and another family of 5 or so taking forever to check-in. Nobody was at the Honors desk. After waiting 10 minutes to check-in, mine was a breeze and I was on my way. No upgrade given as Diamond, but was given lounge access. Room was against my preference (farthest from elevator, rather than close, 5th floor, rather than high floor.) I had called ahead to check the executive lounge hours and was told it closed at 9pm. I arrived at 8:30 and the wait to check-in had me especially frustrated. I headed up to the lounge after dropping my bags and found that it was actually open until 10pm, hooray! Although I was happy to find this out, I feel the staff should be better informed. I really rushed to arrive before 9pm!

that covers my biggest two gripes with this property (took forever to check-in, and was told the lounge closed earlier than it did) my third issue was room service. According to the menu, it's available until 11pm. I called down at 10:55pm and was told it's already closed. Alright, I get it; it's not nice to call last minute for food, but, still. If your hours say 11pm, you should be available until 11pm.

In the future, I'll stick with the marriott on Tresser blvd. My last stay here was so-so, this one seals the "not worth returning" deal.

Room Tip: Executive floors (9 and 10) have express elevator in the lounge.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any wait you encountered during check-in and for any other inconveniences during your stay. We do appreciate your understanding that at 10:55 our kitchen is already in the process of closing and could not have provided you with cuisine that would have met our strict standards. We hope to be able to welcome you back to experience our hotel again and renew your trust in the Hilton brand and us.

“restaurant staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

Just had a great breakfast. The place was packed but the staff kept their cool. Gershon at the omelet station was great, super friendly and Samina the hostess could not have been nicer! I stay here on a regular basis and the staff is always accommodating.

“Corporate Meeting - all the needs met”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

I've just returned from a 3 day meeting held at the Hilton in Stamford, Ct. This was the 4th year we held our meeting there - and I'm happy to tell you it was a great meeting and the space was wonderful. I attend lots of corporate meetings - many times these environments have trouble managing the temperatures in the meeting rooms - too cold, too hot...rarely just right. Well - this space was just right - I never had to pull out my sweater. The food was several notches above the usual meeting fare - so good I'd be happy to just have dinner there! The location is perfect - easy access to major airports and the train too.

“No lost and found help.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012 via mobile

Stayed at this Hilton on the 7th, 8th and 9th of November 2012. Nice hotel rooms were comfortable. Our room was never made up the 3 days we were there. We were able to get clean towels from the maid in the hallway! I left my sweatshirt and jacket in the Lobby area. I inquired at the front desk and the woman said that she had seen it there all night but now it was gone. Granted I left the jacket and shirt there totally my fault.
The problem is that I have called 5 times since my return home. I have left messages and no one at this Hilton Hotel has called me back or responded to me.I just want to know if the lost and found has my jacket and shirt.Apparently it would be too much of an inconvenience for any of the employees that I have spoken with to walk over to the lost and found department and look to see if my items that I described to five different people were there or not and then pickup the phone and call me back to let me know if my stuff is there or not. Is this really asking to much? Here it is almost December still no call. Shame on you Hilton!!

“Not what I expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

My father booked and paid for our 2 rooms. When he booked online he specified that we wanted connecting rooms or at the least, rooms across from each other. We checked in and were told to park in the parking garage. They charge you $10 per night to park yourself in this garage. I was a little shocked by that. When we got our 4 children out and up to our rooms we found out they were actually on the same side but 3 rooms apart. We called back to the check-in desk and asked that since the one room we were in connected with the next, if we could have that room. They said it needed to be cleaned and they would have it ready in about 45 minutes. We waited that time and noone had come to clean it so we went out to eat. When we got back about 1 1/2 hours later the room was ready. The first night we realized that the a/c didn't work. Our room was very hot. Also the tub drain was clogged and when we took showers the tub filled up past our ankles. The second day my husband had to go to 4 different floors before he found a vending machine that actually had soda in it. We were hoping to try the breakfast buffet but at $20 per person it wasn't going to happen. It would have cost us $100 for breakfast! Overall the hotel looked beautiful from the outside. The lobby was beautiful as well. The hotel is not situated in a great area though. I would not want to walk the streets alone at night. It doesn't look very safe. There were plenty of men walking the streets at night but they were all wearing big coats and you couldn't even see their faces. It looks like they are trying to "revitalize" the area but it still feels rough and tough. The staff at the hotel are very nice and pleasant. I guess i just expected the rooms to be more beautiful, more upscale. The biggest plus is that the beds and pillows are VERY comfortable. The beds had feather pillows that were amazing! I loved the beds and pillows. There is a good sized indoor, heated pool and jacuzzi that kept the kids busy too. I guess i just expected more from a Hilton hotel.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience about your stay at our hotel. Your kind words regarding our comfortable beds, staff and amenities are greatly appreciated. However, we would like to address a few of your comments for more clarity. The location of our hotel is convenient to both travelers and business professionals being that we are located near many corporate headquarters. The area, and most especially the hotel, is safe, but your own discretion is always recommended when traveling anywhere. We do apologize for any inconveniences you encountered in your room and will have our Maintenance Engineers promptly look into a remedy for the situation. Thank for reaching out to us and for your review.
