My son was in a hockey tournament and we booked our stay through Lucid Travel. We booked a double queen room with a pull-out sofa. Upon arrival, we given our room key. When we checked into the room, we noticed there was no sofa. I asked the front desk about this and was told "Oh yeah, a dog ruined it." Although that seems like a probable incident, that is not my fault. We paid for a room with a pull out couch because we have three children and two adults and were counting on this bed to accommodate sleeping for all. It was annoying to need to check in to the room to figure out on our own that what we paid for was not there. We should have been told this upon checking in. The price was not adjusted to reflect this. When unpacked in the room and used the restroom, we noticed that the barn door to the bathroom was having a hard time closing and opening. It was getting stuck (falling off the track) and trapping whoever was using it inside the bathroom. I have a five-year-old who weighs less than the door and this was concerning to me. We continued to put the 50lb door back on it's track each and every time we used it. At one point, the door fell off completely onto my husband when he was trying to fix it. We brought this safety concern up to the front desk. If this door were to fall off onto my daughter, who weighs a mere 40lbs, she would be hospitalized. I did not feel safe staying in a room where a door could harm her. The girl at the desk told us they would not move our room because there were no "double queen sofa" rooms left, only "double queen." It was extremely frustrating because we didn't even have the sofa, so comparable, it was the exact same room available but they would not move us. When I demanded that the door be fixed, I was told there was no maintenance on and it would not be possible. I was told the manager (who was also not on the property all weekend) also would not approve a room change. I asked which bathroom we should use in the meantime and I was told that my children should use the public restroom off the lobby. When my child needed to use the restroom in the middle of the night, should I send her down the hallway? When they needed showers, should I send them to the pool? In what world is this a reasonable request? I said it was unacceptable to not have a bathroom that we could access safely. I am frustrated that Hilton had the ability to fix this major safety concern, and instead, they chose to make a decision that jeopardized the safety of my children. I felt extremely uncomfortable and on edge all weekend. This could have been fixed by giving us another room, but for whatever power struggle reason, your management refused. I paid for a pull out sofa that wasn't provided and I paid for a functional bathroom. Halfway through the second day maintenance finally came and fixed the door. I am completely disgusted with how this was handled. We were offered nothing at first. Then we were offered Hilton points, which I do not
