My stay at the Hilton was incredibly disappointing. From the outset, I encountered issues that significantly marred my experience.
Upon entering my room, I was found a dirty washcloth carelessly left on the couch. This was just the beginning of a series of disappointments.
Throughout the night, the noise from neighboring rooms was incessant. Loud jumping, running and laughter echoed through the walls, making it impossible to rest. It felt as though there was a constant party right next door.
The situation reached its peak on the second night when a large group of about fifty college students arrived. Their disruptive behavior, including shouting and running through the halls, made it impossible to find any semblance of peace.
When I called the front desk to address the disturbance, I was met with an unapologetic and rude response from the staff member. Their lack of empathy only added to my frustration.
The pool closes at 9 pm so it left no opportunity to unwind after a long day, and discovering that the provided shampoo was empty while attempting to wash my hair was yet another letdown.
Considering the substantial cost of nearly $900 for two nights in two rooms, I had expected a much more pleasant and relaxing stay. Despite reaching out to the manager to express my concerns, I received no response, leaving me feeling unheard and disregarded.
Thankfully, our experience at the Paramount in downtown Portland on the final night of our trip made up for it.
