While just staying one night to attend a wedding, my family and I choose this hotel and it was the worse experience we ever dealt with. I was subjected to a distressing and humiliating experience that has left a lasting impact on me.
While staying at this hotel, I was accused of theft and subsequently asked to empty my bag under the suspicion of stealing a box of macaroni and cheese. The manner in which this situation was handled was not only unjust but also racially discriminatory. The manager Jennifer James stated she saw me from the surveillance camera grab an extra macaroni and cheese container and then placed it in my bag. I was in the process of purchasing 2 boxes of macaroni and cheese for my children, and she persistently asked to empty my bag in which I did so and there was no extra box of macaroni and cheese in my bag.
As a guest, I expected to be treated with respect and fairness regardless of my background. However, I was made to feel like a criminal in front of other guests and even my children. This incident not only marred my stay but also left me feeling embarrassed, degraded, and hurt. Discrimination has no place in any establishment, especially one that claims to uphold high standards of hospitality.
I am really disappointed in the Hilton brand.
