Hampton by Hilton Hotels in Pittsburgh

This is the second time I review this Hampton. Same good expereince. Same clean, specious room. Same good breakfast. Same free parking (the only hotel offer safe, free downtown hotel parking). No complain. Although it is not new and flashy, it still worth the high price! Just like to offer some tips: 1. Book way early, better price. (pay a little more to get free cancelation benefit, it will still cheaper than booking close to stay date.) Also this place sold out fast. 2. The rooms are big. Easily and comfortably fit 5-6 adults. (just one bathroom though) This is good if you have big family. 3. Download the Hilton App to see if you can check in earlier (via the app) and pick your room. Use your phone as room key. Need not check in with front desk. (We still went to front desk later, to get the key cards though, becauce all my family members are adults and like to have their own key, to get in/out as they wish. Only one phone can be used as room key, unless all are hilton honor members. )

Recently stayed at this Hampton Inn with our swim team because my kids were in a championship swim meet at the University of Pittsburgh and this hotel is very close. However, we had a couple of problems. Like other hotels since Covid, cleaning service is limited. We were told that the room would be cleaned on day 3 of our 5-night stay. However, we ran out of towels (4 people in our room) and TP rather quickly (only three bath towels and one roll of tp were supplied in the room on day 1). On day two in the morning, I wanted to take a shower and did not have towels (kids and husband showered first). My husband went down to the front desk to be told rudely that the towels were being washed and would not be available until the afternoon sometime. So I called down to the front desk to ask when there would be towels. ”I have no idea” was the response. When I asked when they normally were done - ”no idea”. Since I was paying over 200 a day to stay here, I wanted to take a shower when it was convenient for me. So I called the main Hilton number and complained. They then called the front desk at our hotel and poof -- I immediately got a call saying that there were towels available (but I had to pick them up myself). Day 3 when we were told we were scheduled to have the room cleaned (and we requested it also) - the room was not cleaned. My husband was mad and asked them to clean the room on day 4 (in the meantime we were emptying our own trash down the hall and searching daily for cleaning help to get toilet paper). He found a cleaner and she said she would clean the room but we would have to strip down our beds and put the sheets in the hallway. Since when do guests have to do the cleaners' jobs? What exactly are guests paying in a hotel if there are no clean towels available, if you have to beg for toilet paper, if you have to strip down your own beds to have your room cleaned, if the front desk personnel are consistently rude to the guests? I will not be coming back to this hotel.

Hampton Inn Pittsburgh/Greentree I apologize in advance for the lengthy review but I needed to warn other people about this place, specially Hilton Members that time and time again bring business to the brand with our stays. If I could leave 0 star I would, this hotel left something to be desired. I really don't understand how they have 4 stars on Google, all I can think of is managment encouraging their employees, friends and families to write bogus reviews to raise their score. I really don't want to believe a Hilton brand would stoop so low but then again this hotel seem to be run by very rude and unprofessional people so I can't rule anything out. The property was old and outdated. Now I'm not super picky about things like that but when my room smells horrible and the ceiling in the bathroom on top of the tub is cracking and pieces of drywall are falling on me while showering, well that's when we have a problem. I understand a building being outdated but maintenance should never ever fall behind, especially in a Hilton brand. As a Hilton Diamond member that has stay with the brand everytime I travel domestically or internationally, this is not what I have come to expect from them. On top of that the staff was extremely unhelpful, rude and unwelcoming. They all seem like they did not want to be there and were all having the worst day according to their body language and behavior towards the guest. I was traveling with my partner and she's a god damn saint and didn't want to bother anyone or get anyone in trouble, she told me it was just a 3 nights stay and to just let it go, so I didn't say anything while we were there. Now the last drop came when we arrived home and I sat down,and went to check the receipt from the hotel(side note-I usually don't check my Hilton stay receipts till a couple days after check out, but this people did not inspired any confidence in me). I am glad I checked because there was a $267 cleaning fee attached. I immediately called the hotel but the agent said he didn't know what that cleaning fee meant so I had to call back the next day in the morning to speak with his manager Rebecca. I called the next day in the morning and asked to speak with Rebecca, they send me to her voice-mail, so I got tired of being thrown around like a god damn ball and decided to call the diamond desk. They contacted the hotel and put me through to talk to someone(this person was not the manager Rebecca, it was a front desk agent) The lady said the Cleaning Fee was for smoking. Now I was really pissed, I have ashtma and obviously do not smoke at all, and my partner does not smoke either, she doesn't even drink. I explained that it was not possible that we could have smoke in that room and asked what proved they had to make that statement and charge me a fee without even notifying me before leaving the hotel, all the lady said was that it smelled like someone smoked. I reiterated that it was not possible and she kept saying the same thing. A
