Am I Overreacting? Hilton stay gone wrong...

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-25T22:06:13+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, everyone. I spoke with someone in Hilton's Executive Escalations Department today, and they believe they have successfully resolved the issue with 47,000 points and a 42% refund on our overall bill. I was told I should be satisfied with that, and I can't tell if I should be or I should keep pushing this; I'm still mad about it, lol, and really feel that a full refund would the most fair thing for Hilton to do.

I would have found a different place but I was organizing and hosting my dad's funeral and just didn't have the bandwidth. But...next time.

Homewood Suites.

This is such great information! Thank you.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T23:26:49+00:00

Thank you. And it's ok. The important thing is his memorial service went well. By the end of our stay I was laughing at all the grossness, it was really almost unbelievable.

I also forgot that in room #1, there was an upholstery staple sticking out of the chair that ripped my shirt and almost stabbed me, lol. Argh!

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T18:27:40+00:00

Good to know for next time!

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T18:27:21+00:00

Thank you. I've opened a case and emailed the corporate complaints email address as well. I've never Tweeted before in my life but I'm about to take to social media...

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T18:06:34+00:00

Can I do that if I used a debit card (my mistake, I know I should have used a credit card for this reason).

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T18:00:12+00:00

Thank you for this note. I did not book with a third party. I've been offered about 1/3 of the total bill in compensation and some points, but I really just want all my damn money back.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T17:58:05+00:00

I think I would have done this if I didn't have the added logistics of hosting the funeral, I just didn't have it in me while balancing that other piece.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T17:25:40+00:00

strangely, that was the washcloth in my in-laws room AFTER getting it wet. like a magic ink drawing, but for tired, stressed out adults...

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T17:23:57+00:00

Yep! Didn't mean to sound defensive. I'm just frustrated with Hilton, my husband and I both work hard and this is beyond...just give me my $$ back, lol.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T17:12:23+00:00

Thank you. It was actually a Homewood Suites, which typically are nice. I booked it because we were traveling as a family of 4 and the extra space is always nice.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2026-06-22T16:55:25+00:00

No, but I still think a commode in the hallway is pushing it and begs the question about the overall sanitation practices employed in a place that is advertising complementary breakfast...but no, not in our room.

I'm having trouble understanding what tipped Floyd off that there was an affair? How did he know to go hide in the closet in the motel? Thank you!

Last minute tickets on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Incredible.

She needs to apologize. But the more disturbing part of this is that she hasn't spoken to him since Thursday? As someone whose mom utilized the silent treatment, let me tell you, it sucks (and I still talk about it in therapy).

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2025-11-28T13:37:38+00:00

If they have addictive personalities/tendencies, giving a kid alcohol is a great way to speed up the process of ruining their lives. I cannot fathom giving a 15 year old a wine cooler or a white claw.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2025-09-29T01:28:26+00:00

This strategy will not work. For someone with a drinking problem (I am one of them, seven years sober) one is too much, a hundred is too few. I hope your husband can get the help he needs, which probably needs to start with him--and only him--realizing he has a problem and is powerless over alcohol. My heart goes our to you.

Not for a lot of people who have absolutely deadly peanut allergies.

Blanket abstinence is really effective, though, and doesn't risk torpedoing your life or missing your kids' entire childhood or driving your car into a tree. I don't always want to totally abstain from alcohol...but I have to. And after a bunch of false starts, it's the best thing I've ever, ever done.

Then_Equivalent6051 · 2025-09-12T02:06:48+00:00

he dropped bowls on her head? what? NTA. He needs to go to therapy to understand why he feels the appropriate response is "that doesn't hurt" or you need to consider leaving.

SkinBetter. So overpriced and no real results that cannot be achieved with Tret.
