Do you enjoy paying for random and hidden fee's or predatory pricing similar to those of ultra low cost, de-bundled style airlines? Come stay at the Hilton Times Square in NYC and enjoy $21 coffee!!! Four of us stayed at this Hilton for a single evening, sharing a room for a quick, impromptu trip to NYC from SoCal, having paid four hundred dollars for the single Tuesday evening. Across the dozens of Hilton properties across different states, countries and continents, this Hilton is a lot like the gum on your shoe. You don't see it, but once you step on it, you just got to deal with it. Let's start with the fee's. Some are published, most are not: - Early Check-In, $50 - Late Check-Out, $50 - Luggage Storage, $5 per bag each time. - $35, per day, per room charge/fee but you can then use it in their on-site store, bar or restaurant. Read more below cause $35 here won't get you far. Having woken up the following morning, we got a later check out time and headed downstairs from our room to see about breakfast. Soon as we opened the room door, there was room-service inquiring if we were checking out. This was the second time already this morning they inquired, the first being much earlier when one of us was taking a shower and others still laying down. Like my goodness! I've never had staff want you out of a place even if the power went out. When we got back to our room, the room service staff were working on other rooms, but as soon as we gathered our stuff to head out all together, they weren't far behind to tackle our room. (Couldn't be that much of a demand for our room on Wednesday, nothing going on and not many people in the hotel ever during our time.) Never was there a smile, hi, hello, thanks. Just, you leaving now!? Breakfast buffet ...oh the buffet! STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAGIC SHOW! Full of lie's, deceit, trickery and slide of hand! (Pictures for a few references.) We arrived at the restaurant / buffet host desk adjacent to the bar, waited a few and were sat down with a choice between a booth or a table and chairs and quickly asked if we wanted coffee to which we obliged eagerly to get our morning started. A few of us got up and noticed the sign at the entry to the buffet room (see photo) highlighting the prices between the two buffet options ($29 for a continental breakfast and $45 for a full breakfast) and quickly sat down to enjoy our coffee at least and come up with another plan for the day. HIDDEN FEE! This isn't published, this wasn't told to us before entering by our server/host, nothing. Not until our server brought around another pot of coffee and said we should probably get something to eat since the coffee alone was $21 per cup! $21 for a mediocre medium roast coffee! There wasn't even any choice flavored creamers to go with it, just a single, non-flavored creamer in a small porcelain pitcher. So for $8 more, you could get something to eat versus paying for the coffee alone. Deceit and trickery. The buffets are not set up separately but everything is all mixed in together. The plates to are all the way into the buffet, in the back by all the full breakfast items. It's not until you've got whatever items you went for, on your way out, looking for any cutlery (although supplied at your table) maybe, you notice the much smaller sign, off to the side and darn near at an inner corner, you see a detailed list as to what is considered full vs continental. This is predatory, pure and simple, bating people to come all the way in, well past a sign intentionally set off to the side. None of which were back at the front host desk along side the 'Please Wait to be Seated' sign or even at the table. The $35 resort like fee, but it's a credit. Really?? Just trying to get that additional spend at the property. See all the other comments on the web for various pricing on drinks and snacks in their little store. $35 isn't getting you much. You're better off with Target across the street and all the street vendors. The location, it's alright. The windows need cleaned. Signage downstairs pointing out the elevator for the lobby would be solid. The attitudes of most staff need help. Hospitality is not a staple here. Even brought up a service issue with an elevator and it was, eh, whatever for the front counter. I got far better service at the deli's and bakeries throughout NYC by folks probably making $10/hr less then these clowns in this circus. If janky shenanigans are your thing with surprises around every corner and a few new fee's in your checkout cart after the fact like another trip on Spirit, Hilton Times Square has got you covered!…
