I have never written a bad review for any establishment I've been to ...but this was very upsetting and handled very wrong! At check-in, I gave license plate information for 2 of my cars. After I checked out, I found a ticket on 1 of my cars for non-payment of parking. Gave the ticket to front desk, and was told ”we'll take care of it”. Called 2 days later and spoke to Grace, their GM to follow-up and was told I never gave them info for 2 cars, only 1. She wouldn't even give me her supervisor's name, said I have to call customer service. I did that and they were unable to assist me and told me that their Gen Mgr has final say. Really???!!!
Great hotel, which was quiet, with helpful and kind staff. Especially Ryan and Alexis, they were extremely kind, friendly, thorough, and helpful. Alexis answered all our questions without making us feel incompetent. Ryan was an incredible gentleman, helping my great grandmother and aunt into our vehicle and closed the door behind them and provided water for all of us. Thanks for the great experience!
We usually like to stay on the beach at Wrightsville but lately the hotel prices there have been north of $600 a night, so we decided to try staying here about 5 miles off the beach. The hotel feels very new and is super clean and trendy/nice in common areas and in the suites. Even the 2 queen bed suite feels very spacious and has a curtain between those 2 beds and the pull out sofa, which didn't have that crumby feel. Nice kitchenette with fuller size fridge and true freezer. The outdoor areas (outside the breakfast buffet area and near the pool are equally nice (pool is on the small side with not alot of loungers for sunbathing). It was nice to have free parking and breakfast buffet although we found the breakfast buffet foods are not restocked that often unlike we've experienced at other hiltons so often out of bagels, etc. The waffle iron needs replaced because it doesn't work properly where the waffles come out easily (even with spray) like they do at other Hilton properties - many had plates of ripped apart waffles. However, it was still nice to have a free buffet and the buffet area is nice so despite this, it was fine and one can always head out to a local restaurant if desired. Pet friendly too - we saw some cute doggos. Had no impact on the cleanliness factor/feeling.
The staff was really nice. Excellent location to walk to shopping and nearby restaurants. We had a power outage during our stay due to a storm. FYI, there is no generator to power the whole building, so if you are traveling and know it may be bad weather, it's not the best option. Some rooms had AC, and others didn't. Power was randomly on different circuits. It was definitely an interesting situation for all. Luckily, it got handled, and the power came back on before bedtime. We like the size of suites. But many things need to be cleaned and replaced. Our shower curtain smelled terrible. There was tile broken in the bathrooms along the tub. Microwaves and floors were super dirty. The carpets needed to be replaced. Next renovation just ditch the carpets. It's much cleaner and healthier for all. Overall, our stay was pleasant, and time spent with family is priceless, but unless they get a generator and renovate, we probably won't return.
ผผู้เข้าพักI stayed at this hotel for work a trip. Prior to me arriving, my manager booked my stay and at the time of the booking he stated that the stay should be completely charged on his credit card. The Hampton Inn employee stated because we are with a group, the security deposit would be $15 per day and I was aware that a charge would be on my personal credit card, which was fine . When I checked in, the lady at the desk said she would charge for the security deposit. I was staying for 3 nights , so there should have been a charge of $45. Once I got to my room, I checked my account and saw there was a $500 charge on my account . I went back down to the front desk and calmly said to the lady, I am just looking for clarity on why my card was charge this amount when that’s not the agreement that was told by phone. I was immediately met with hostility and was told “I’m not going to argue with you, you can talk to the manger.” The manager Sheeri Hightower came out and she was just as rude. She was very dismissive and told me no credit card was on file for my reservation and that’s why I was charge. That was a complete lie , because you can’t even book a reservation without a credit card and if that was the case, why wasn’t that mentioned when I checked in??! So, I went back to my room. As I walked away, I heard Sheeri Hightower and her employee laughing at me as I walked away(Nice way to make your guest feel welcomed.)To make a long story short, I had my manager email over his credit card info so he could cover the reservation. My manager called me and told me he talked to the front desk and it should be handled. Instead of the hotel manager calling me to tell me the issue was resolved and my credit card would be refunded, I heard nothing from them. So I stopped by the front desk again, Just to confirm they received my managers credit card and that it would be refunded . Again, I was met with an attitude and was talked to In a condescending tone. The following day, I was at the bar by the pool and the manager Sheeri Hightower walked behind the bar, looked dead at me and didn’t speak . She turned her back to me and ate a hamburger behind the bar and never acknowledged me. Once she was done, she walked away. The Hampton Inn needs to take a better look at the type of people they are hiring . I have been a customer service manager for 15 years and I would never be this rude to a customer. When my company has another convention, I will recommend they find another hotel. I will never stay here again.
Mr. Ray was absolutely wonderful!!! He went above and beyond with his hospitality. I truly enjoyed my stay there and would definitely come back again. The common area was always near and the breakfast was always delicious! After a long day the staff always greeted us with a smile.
We arrived late because we were traveling from NH to move our daughter in to her apartment. After reading the negative reviews I waited to book my points until we got here. When I walked in at 11:56 the woman at the front desk said to book asap before 12. So I booked a queen bed and a pull out couch because that is all that was left for points. After she realized we were there with our daughter, she upgraded us to two queens and a much larger room. She was so accommodating and super nice. I wish I got her name (she was working August 2nd at 11:56). When we got to our room it was really nice and large. Yes, it is dated (but very clean) and the rooms are pet friendly so there were dogs there but they didn’t bark at all. The room smelled nice. No bugs (like people mentioned) and we had a great nights sleep before we had to move a truck load of furniture. The breakfast was also very good. Eggs, oatmeal (with a million toppings), sausage, bagels, toast, muffins. The woman running the breakfast was also super nice walking around and asking everyone if they needed anything. I definitely recommend this place.
TTravelinglizardedThis was a great stop and good location w plenty of parking. And a bar nearby walking distance. Comfortable beds and lemon water in the lobby. I saw a sparkling clear out door pool. just have to say that the mini fridge and the ac/heat unit are noisy and keep you from sleep. The black out curtains don’t really black out any light from the parking lot:( and it seems that there are an abundance of long black curly hairs all over the sink and toilet. That was gross. I mentioned it to someone getting my tv to work for me, he said “ it’s the maids”
MMark GThis was our 1st visit to the Comfort Suites and came away impressed with the room, staff and price. Our king room was very large with refrigerator, sink and sleep sofa. In for the Cape Fear Azalea Festival, our price was $20 less when booked 2 months ago verses current rates and lower than other like lodgings in and around Market Street. The continental breakfast was fine with waffles, bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs. There were plenty of muffins, bagels, breads, fruits, oatmeal, juices, coffee and teas. Checking in on a Thursday afternoon we found the young lady at the front desk to be efficient, personable and informative. We would definitely stay here when in Wilmington again. We noticed the pool was empty during our April 4-8 visit but would guess it would be ready to go by May 1.
