Hilton Hotels corporate.
Hilton Hotels corporate offices and properties in general do not appreciate or honour the loyalty of their longtime customers!
I have been a Hilton Honours member for 30+ years. In that time a acheived Diamond status because of my loyalty. Now that I'm retired and am not able to travel as much, Hilton has elected to demote me, rather than thank me for those years of loyalty!! So much for loyalty. Time to look at other hotel options in future.

Disappointing Stays
In the last few weeks, we stayed at 3 Hilton Hotels. As a Gold member, I was rather disappointed with a few things.
First, when I had to travel unexpectedly, I went to get a hotel room and all the rooms were booked, which seemed strange for a Monday evening. When I did find a hotel, the receptionist said one room was available and I said I will take it. As we were talking, all of a sudden, the receptionist said there are no rooms available. Very strange a room available suddenly becomes available. Fortunately, I was able to find another hotel, but the prices I had a pay for a small sandwich and a couple of cookies was absolutely ridiculous! I would have eaten somewhere else, but it was rather late and other places were closed.
My family and I went on vacation and we stayed at 2 different Hilton hotels. The first hotel had a beautiful view. Breakfast though was very disappointing at both hotels. For a hot breakfast, there was an additional charge of $15. This was ridiculous for a family, per person per day. There was a decent cold selection at the first hotel we stayed at, where the continental breakfast served hot oatmeal and along with a variety of cold items. There were only 2 cereal choices, neither of which was acceptable for my children. At the second hotel we stayed at, the continental breakfast selection was much worse. My kids could only eat the fruit. There was nothing hot available for the continental selection. This was disappointing as a Gold member, since my family and I could have stayed at other hotels and been able to enjoy a hot selection of food for a continental breakfast. We also had to provide our room number before entering the dining area at one hotel and the second hotel gave us vouchers for breakfast. With the vouchers, we were able to go to the café and Starbucks in the hotel. The Moon café was great, where I got a hot sandwich and a coffee. We went to Starbucks, which the choice included a coffee and a muffin/banana bread, but they were all out of the treats and when my wife asked about a substitution, they said they are not allowed. They would not substitute one of their other treats so we could give it to our children.
Both hotels also charged for pool towels if they were not returned.
Hilton Hotel's CEO & fraud team ignore possible fraud
My data has been used to create a reservation and bill at a Hilton hotel. I have provided evidence of this to Hilton's fraud office and their response is "Please be assured that this activity does not have any bearing on the integrity of our systems", How then have they been able to generate a reservation and bill? They refuse to investigate or to answer questions.
In response to my request to cancel my account I am given instructions on changing my password and setting up secondary verification.
Liverpool one Hilton a total dump
Stayed here around 21st June - Liverpool one hilton, worst hilton ever stayed in. Air condition blowing hot air, 30 degrees in room. Not just unbearably uncomfortable but dangerous. Had to complain multiple times before we could change rooms, treated by reception as nuisance for this.
New room air conditioning barely worked. Asked other guests - all said the same thing that Rooms are extremely stuffy and air con barely working. Multiple receptionists rude with a couldn’t care less about helping you attitude. Male receptionists in particular extremely nasty and hostile, not even subtle about it.
Compared to previous visits they have now removed fridges from rooms, no more unlimited water (unacceptable for a 4 star), there is now a notice in the room saying you have to pay if you take a can. No more ice. No working air conditioning. They have taken away every comfort possible. Even the executive lounge doesn’t have any bottled water. Disgraceful.
