Dissatisfied
The shower was dirty and the air conditioner didn’t work at all. And front desk wouldn’t answer the phones throughout the day.

Sitting in silence
The TV in the room did not work. Initially thought it was the remote control. Called front desk, maintenance came and replaced it. When he came back with the new one even he could not get the tv to work. Told us how of course his last call of the night was difficult. Then proceeded to leave and said he would let the front desk know. After 20minutes of not hearing from anyone, I called the front desk AGAIN. I was told they would send someone up, and they never did. At checkout all of this was mentioned and I got a head nod and a ‘I’m sorry about that’. For a national chain in a major downtown city, this was extremely disappointing.

We should have been informed ahead of time that the University of Kentucky football team was stayong there and.rooms would not be ready at the check-in time. We finally got a room with just enough time to prepare for the event that necessitated our we trip to Lexington. I think this is unacceptable of a major hotel chain and would force me to make reservations at other hotels the next time i need to come to Lexington.

Stinky room
We’re traveling a long distance so decided to stop at the Hilton for the night to get some sleep. We got in around midnight. Check in wasn’t the best experience. We received our keys and went up to our room and for some reason the room smelled like BO, so I called the operator and was told to return the keys. So we went back to the front desk where the receptionist seemed kind of rude. No apologies whatsoever. She did give us a new room which was better. The room was alright but nothing special. I will not be staying at a Hilton property again.

Room and hotel were very nice, but the AC was set to 60 and the room never cooled enough to be comfortable. Sat in the lobby where it was freezing to cool off. Toilet seat was loose in our room and needed a new shower head because there was zero water pressure and lime scale on the jets.
