My mother in law was dying at Albany med I booked the room later in the evening and I accidentally booked the wrong Hilton down the road. They would not refund my money even though it had been only 5 minutes! I ended up booking a room connected to Albany med the one I originally wanted. With the Likely hood of getting a full refund when the manager was on duty in the morning as was told to Expedia.Well in the morning I received a message that they wouldn't refund me! Myother in law passed and it was a rough few days. There should have been some empathy and understanding of the situation. Realizing I made a mistake immediately mostly because my mind was with my mother in law and our entire family saying goodbye.

Not what you expect from Hilton

This hotel is not up to the standard you expect from a Hilton. I noticed cracks and peeling paint on walls and ceilings, the revolving door main entrance to the hotel was broken the entire time I was there, service in the bar area was poor (I asked the bartender if she could put on the Knicks playoff game and she said "I don't know what channel that's on" and walked away), I frequently had to swipe my room key multiple times to unlock my room, and the gym was a disaster - broken air conditioning, multiple dumbbells literally falling apart, and more than half of the dumbbells and cable machine attachments missing entirely.

Not great

Parking garage elevator lobby had garbage and what seemed to be a put out fire in front of elevator, I told the front desk about it and the next day when we left it was all still there. Peeling paint in our bedroom on the ceiling. Broken door handle on fridge and it took 4-5 attempts for pee, poop,toilet paper to actually go down. Adjoining doors (there were 2) were not sound effective... Sounded like people were in our room from both doors all night long. Garbage in the hallways and in the elevator lobby area was the same plate of chicken wings which was sitting all night with garbage still remained in the morning.

Very disappointed this stay. I’ve stayed at this hotel twice before and had no complaints. The room they gave me looked like the carpet had not been vacuumed in ages and the same goes for the hallways. We stayed here 3 nights and one of the rooms left plates outside which were never picked up in those 3 nights up until today that we left, the plates and wine glass were still there; I find that disgusting and laziness from housekeeping and lack of management. The shower was clogged and the tub kept getting full with water because it was not draining.

Poor

Came from New Jersey for a comedy show. Drove 3 1/2 hrs to find our room dusty, light bulbs out, and poor cleanliness. I had to go around with a wash cloth and wipe down all the tables/phone/fridge because it was caked in dust. I spent over 300$ for this room and to come in to a dirty room and light bulbs out is highly disappointing. Will not be staying here again
