Business ProfileforHilton Albany

I was an impromptu walk-in to the Hilton and the woman at the front desk quoted me a one night rate of $299. That seemed really high but I just needed to get up to a room and get on my laptop to take care of some things. After getting into my room I visited Albany Hilton’s website, and their site showed that the room that I was checked into was actually $231 for the night, which is nowhere near what I was paying at $299. Also, for some reason I was checked me into a double room when there were plenty of single Kings available! So fine. I’m sitting at the desk in my room looking at Hilton’s website with plenty of available rooms for nearly $100 less than what I am paying to stay here, and I check 3rd party websites too, who ALL have the lower rates - not one of them lists Hilton as having rooms priced at $299/night. I call down to the front desk to mention that something is a bit off about this, and she transfers me to Tara in sales, who mentions to me that though I only just checked in 20 minutes prior, that the rates fluctuate from minute to minute. Eventually Tara comes back to offer me a rate of $249 rather than the $299 that I was quoted upon checking in. Which I accept because it’s better than paying nearly $100 more than what everyone else is paying! Finally after getting all settled, I take a good look at my room and the bed sheets appear to be the same bed sheets from the previous guests! ON BOTH BEDS! The beds had not been changed over, they had merely been tucked in with the stains still on the sheets in full view of anyone who was paying attention. Which happened to be me. Not just one bed, but BOTH beds had stains on the comforter and/or the sheets. * sigh * it was clear that there was something malicious right beneath the surface going on here, something that was rooted in a deeper cause, and believe it or not, I decided to just sleep in my sleeping bag ON TOP of the stained bed comforter because racial discrimination is a painful feeling.
