The company I work for always puts me up in a Hilton when I travel and I was under the impression that Hilton hotels were supposed to be nice? I know they cost a decent amount because I see the receipts... I mean, they tend to be clean and everything, but I am in one right now and I am reminded of my usual complaints. -Small bathrooms -Small TVs -No free internet -No fridge -No microwave -Cheap and bad coffee -Fedex/Kinkos locations inside that are slow and expensive and suck I mean, I don't mind the internet, fridge, and microwave thing, it just makes me end up spending more money that isn't mine. But sometimes I just want to buy a gas station burrito for 99 cents, stick it in the fridge, and heat it up in the evening while I watch a decent sized tv. Conrad Hilton would be ashamed at what has become of his hotels.

You should stay at Marriott OP. Much better all around, as long as you're not at one of the bottom tier brands. Go for the middle tier Marriott brands, the courtyards & residence inns for example are great.

Hiltons used to be nice but they spent the nineties buying out shittier hotels to add to the chain. You're probably staying in some former Howard Johnson or La Quinta or something.

loving stupid OP. Get a suite if you want a fridge and couch. Stupid bitch how often do you travel? Jesus Christ Is Lord you must work for a cheap as hell company because the suite is only like 20-30 bucks more. And why the actual Hilton when Embassy Suites gives you free liquor every night from 5-7? Free liquor and insanely horny drunk milfs. Get your hotel game up son. God.

I am in the Atlanta Hilton and there is a plaque with Conrad Hilton's signature, so I think this is an original one, but it is lame. I guess it is close to stuff, so that is nice. Lots of crackheads near here though, also a negative.

You sound like a poor, nice hotels don't have refrigerators (besides mini-bars) or microwaves in them unless you have an entertaining suite with a bar setup. That is what 24 hour room service is for. Seriously, if your hotel room has a microwave that is the first sign that it is a shithole.

Most Hiltons are older, so they don't have a lot of the modern amenities. The best business traveler hotel chain seems to be Holiday Inn Express. I've always had good luck with them.

I agree with op being a poor but if u travel a decent amount u almost always get a room with a fridge and microwave that u never use except to put drinks in for when u somehow make it back after yet another late work dinner that hopefully someone took a picture of so u can send it to concur and not get a goddamn audit also in a lot of hotels, like the la defense Hilton from earlier, the fridge is also a minibar that has some sort of voodoo magic where as soon as u take a beer out of it, it shows up on ur hhonors app p cool really

I am a poor at heart, and I really dislike paying for room service, even though it's not my money. The Poors Suite actually sounds like a good idea to me.

I stayed at a Hilton in downtown Chicago and I went to open my window and it opened into the room that the indoor pool was in. It wasn't even an exterior window. Nice if you're a chomo I guess, but no good if you want some fresh air. First night I got shitfaced at the downstairs bar and the Estonian bartender was giving me high fives for how well I could hold my liquor. Second night I tried to get shitfaced at the upstairs bar and they cut me off after 8 drinks and said the computer wouldn't let them serve me anymore. So I did a chargeback on my credit card and took a poo poo in one of the plants in the lobby. Welp, that's my Hilton story, thanks for reading.

Hilton buys up a lot of independent hotels and maybe small, local chains. Some of them are fairly prestigious, others not so much. They operate under the Hilton name but seem to have varying levels of independence. But maybe some of the "real" Hiltons are lovely too. I dunno. I could be totally wrong about this besides the first sentence! I'm basing this on Hiltons I've stayed in outside the US that had been purchased by the company within the last couple years (at the time). Hilton Honors is a pretty good loyalty program. If you travel enough you can get nicer rooms that include all-day access to snacks/hors d'oeuvres and you can eat all your meals that way if you want. But maybe it doesn't work that way if your company's paying for it? Absolute Lithops fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Mar 9, 2016 |

All the Hilton hotels have 4-star standards, but yeah the smaller chains they own like the Garden Inn suck rear end for the most part
