George was very patient
August 4, 2024

After many credit card denials. We got it right the third time. George was very patient with me. Also he was very concise in going over the booking. Did not talk fast and annunciate his words. A skill that is fading away in the customer service segment.

Emily represents the gold standard of Customer Service.

I wanted so very much to express my gratitude for the outstanding service Emily provided.
I travel the country for a living so I am constantly on the road, staying in hotels and airbnbs along the way. Over the last 3 years I have worked in 41 of our great states so as you can imagine I have had a multitude of different experiences when it comes to customer service.
Today I arrived in Portage MI, quite a drive from my home in Tampa Florida. My gps must have been on the frits because when searching for hotels near me google presented options about an hour north of my position in Grand Rapids. Unknowingly I called the first hotel that popped up and Emily answered the phone. Realizing my mistake I apologized and told her I would have to find something closer to my position. Emily went out of her way to find me a sister hotel that would fit my budget and even booked everything for me right there on the phone. As exhausted as I was it really meant a lot that she would do that. Besides keeping me in the "hotel family" which is good for business she left an impression on me that will keep me on the lookout for your hotels in the future.
Thank you Emily
-Jay

Bad service
August 3, 2024

Called to make a reservation, when asked if we had AARP, etc I replied yes and we are Hilton honors silver vip members. Lady said ok and checked for a room. Said it would be in excess of $1,000. I told her I didn't understand, that we could get a room from Booking.com for $800 including taxes. She said ok and hung up on me.

On July 21, after suffering through a horrendous experience at Detroit metropolitan airport with the delays and cancellations, I needed to stay in the Detroit area because I could not get out. All hotels around the airport were booked so I booked the Kingsley Inn in Bloomfield Hills Michigan with you. I was charged at least TWICE the going rate. I feel that I am due a refund on half of the amount that I paid because I paid for the cancellation insurance.
