The Bad

Limitations
Hidden fees

The Hilton brand has a solid rapport with guests worldwide, except for a few critiques, such as:

A large hotel like Hilton can be a little difficult to navigate at first, so it would be great if Hilton gave guests a map to find their room or even the elevators.
Parking is expensive, so it's worth it just to spend the couple bucks extra for valet.
no shuttle service

Hilton guests have also reported issues with the list of hidden fees they discovered during their hotel stay. Examples of these fees include:

$14 per day fee to use the fitness center.
bottles of water in hotel rooms for $4.00/ea
WiFi overcharges. Although WiFi is supposed to be complimentary, some guests have experienced being charged for WiFi each day of their stay.

Also to be noted is that promoted amenities are typical at most locations but not guaranteed. Since Hilton is a chain with independently owned franchises, guests will most likely want to make sure that the amenities or services they want or need while on their trip are offered at that specific Hilton location.

The Bottom Line

carole abel Palm Coast, FL

Because we have a child in California, we go out there more often so we joined Hilton Honors several years ago. We usually stay at Hilton Garden Inns because they have a pet policy and great accommodations, good dining options and are clean and well managed. When we took mom to California, we chose a Homewood Suite in Long Beach by the airport. The room was perfect for 3 people plus guests, as it had a large kitchen and living area. There was an evening reception every weekday and a dynamite breakfast buffet each morning. The pool was open, but in January, the hottub was even nicer. it was in a great location and we received a great cost for the room. i am so glad that we used this lodging and are staying again when we go later this year- we hope covid has not affected these amenities, which would be understood but it was such a pleasant stay anyway. Hilton Honors is a great program, it is one of the few travel related programs we subscribe to.

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, using HiltonHonors points for a 1 week stay. Even though I wasn't a "paying" customer, I was still given a quality room with a view and experienced the top-notch Hilton customer service. I normally stay at Hilton Garden Inns or Hampton Inns, but have also stayed at the New York Waldorf-Astoria as a "paying" customer and received the excellent Hilton service at each.

You generally can't go wrong at Hilton hotels. They have well-maintained properties and friendly staff in good locations. When I travel, I prefer to stay at Hilton or Marriott to avoid dirty and run down hotels. Join their Honors club to get additional amenities (free internet, a cookie, points towards additional stays).

Hilton has been a great hotel provider for rooms and conference meeting rooms for business use. I have sought after Hilton as they exceed expectation in this area. Price and hotel staff service is unparalleled. Everything is done to ensure that the party hosted has little to do except enjoy the hospitality. Excellent overall!

Hilton is a beautiful hotel chain. My husband and I stayed at a Hilton during our trip to Portsmouth and it was so wonderful. They had little pumpkin breads and cold cider by the entrance. A 24 hour tea, coffee, and hot chocolate bar in the lobby. The hotel room was so nice and roomy, and I feel like they always have hotels in prime locations when traveling.

Every time I look for a hotel and a new city I always find myself going back to Hilton. Hilton hotels offer excellent customer service both virtually and through the phone. Every time I have arrived to a Hilton, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the room has been exceptionally clean and the staff has been ready to help. I enjoy that most Hilton‘s offer a Continental, or free breakfast in the morning. It increases the ease of living in a hotel. I’ve only had fantastic experiences.

Hilton is my family's go to hotel. The rooms are usually very clean, and on the few occasions that there have been stains on the bed or dust coming out of the air conditioning, they have been very accommodating and move us to another room. Sometimes they have even upgraded us to an even better room. Also, whenever we have left items in the room after a stay, they let us know as soon as possible and mail it to us within a few days.

Hilton Hotels are our first choice when needing a hotel for an extended stay, as they are almost everywhere where we travel, clean , elegant and comfortable. They are well priced and a value when compared to the amenities offered by other chains. They have things like free WiFI, where it is often charged for by others, great city locations and really good restaurants . Their "free" breakfast, in many places, rivals what you can get in a breakfast restaurant and the in-hotel services such as health clubs and pools, make they a value, even though you may pay a little more for them.

Hilton Tower and Hotel in Anaheim is worth every penny. From the second you walk in you’ll feel like Cinderella. Get ready to have the best night sleep, bed was comfortable, pillows were just right. Take the time to Stop and shop in the cutest gift shop or head over to the spa for an hour of relaxation. Dinner at the restaurant was fabulous. We went to Disneyland for a week. No car was needed, the shuttle arrives at the hotel and drops you off at the gate to Disneyland. Looking forward to my next stay at Anaheim Hilton Hotel.

I travel every other week and sometimes every week for work. I stay at Hampton Hotels everywhere I go. I find that they are the most consistent, reliable, comfortable, clean, etc. They are always helpful to find a good restaurant when I arrive. The rooms are hardly ever dirty or smell bad. They also have the best rewards program for frequent travelers.

When traveling for work to Oakland CA, I stay at the Hilton at the airport. The interior of the hotel is dated, but its a very nice hotel. Very close to the airport, close to the rental car agencies, close to lots of restaurants as well. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly. The pool is nice as well. Fitness center is a little small and has limited equipment, nut not a big enough deal to rate lower than 5 stars.

I stayed at a Hilton in Orange County, CA and I did not have the greatest experience. The front desk associates were wonderful, but the cleanliness of the rooms were absolutely horrific. The first room that I was assigned, had makeup residue all over the table, there were clothes tags on the bottom of the closet as well as hair in the sink. Walked into that room and right back out again after taking pictures. Front desk was very kind and set me up with a different room on a different floor. This room had used soap in the shower still, soda spills on the wall by the trash, dust on the lamp shades and it smelt awful. Again went down with pictures and they moved me to another "better" room after the desk associate told me that I hadn't been the only complaint that day. By this time I was done and just wanted to get some dinner and go to bed. I had driven 12 hours that day and just wanted to be done. The last room they gave me had a questionable stain on the curtains...and the mini fridge had water dripping in the back of it with some noticeable mold. The fridge was also luke warm even after I turned up the cooling on it. Not that I was going to put anything in it with the mold in the back anyway. The downstairs dinning was good, the staff there was super friendly and the food was good. Overall will not stay there again, I expected more out of a Hilton.

Their hotels are very well kept and their staff is very attentive. They are at your service when needed and any problem you have is resolved immediately.

My favorite Hilton Hotel was the one we stayed at in Las Vegas. In addition to having spacious rooms and places to eat meals in the Hotel, they also have a casino. Best of all, there is a monorail near the casino so you have easy access to other casinos, restaurants, and attractions on the strip without needing to take a car.

Most Hilton Hotels we have stayed at have given us a great experience. One Hilton Hotel we return to again and again is Embassy Suites. It always has a relaxing feel. One thing the hotel industry could work on, across the board, is the amount of dust in rooms. I go barefoot a lot, and I usually find that my feet are black after awhile. I also find that my eyes get puffy while I’m on vacations (some more than others). On the whole Hilton Hotels are mostly clean, organized, and have a nice vacation feel whether they are fancy or budget style.

Hilton Hotels has continued to expand its line of different and unique properties if you are a Hilton Member (which requires no annual fee) you can quickly rack up points for future free stays even in their nicest properties, the big drawback with Hilton is many of the properties are now outdated and need to be renovated so when booking look for information on the last time the property has been renovated.
