Update: Read this before deciding to stay! (Experience from Rooms 317 and 500)
This stay was an absolute nightmare, and I strongly urge anyone reading this to stay far away from this hotel.
Our experience was chaotic from the very beginning. We were deciding between an Airbnb and a hotel, and because we were referred by Stamford Hospital to Hampton Inn & Suites, we chose this hotel a decision we deeply regret. We were in an extremely vulnerable situation, as our loved one was dying at Stamford Hospital.
The first room we were given had a major leak inside the unit. While we were there exhausted, emotionally drained, and barely awake after one of the hardest days of our lives, staff spent 45 minutes attempting to fix the issue, only to finally admit they couldn’t repair it properly.
They then “upgraded” us to what they proudly called “the best room they have,” claiming people book it for weddings and special events. That upgrade turned out to be the worst mistake of the entire stay.
As confirmed by their own staff, there was no hot water, and although maintenance had been called, the issue was not resolved. On top of that, the water pressure was absolutely horrific, the shower barely worked at all. After spending the final hours with our dying loved one, discovering this so late in the night was devastating. At that point, it was simply too late to move again.
Their solution? 500 reward points.
As if anyone in this situation would ever want to come back.
Let me be very clear: those 500 points are an insult, not a resolution.
What you should take from this experience is simple: refuse the points and avoid this hotel at all costs. If you have a loved one at the hospital and need a place to stay nearby, I strongly recommend driving a few extra minutes and sparing yourself the stress, frustration, and emotional damage this place will cause.
Hampton Inn & Suites being part of Hilton makes this even more shocking. This experience completely destroyed any positive perception I had of the Hilton brand. The lack of care, empathy, and basic hospitality in such a sensitive situation is unacceptable.
Save yourself time, energy, and unnecessary suffering. There are many other options nearby. And if Stamford Hospital recommends this hotel, ask for a different recommendation immediately.
This is not a minor inconvenience,this is a serious warning.
Do not stay here.
-------- Update ------
While leaving the hotel room, the manager Hamza wanted to address this issue offering 5$ to remove our review from Google and TripAdvisor. As soon as we told him that if this was a joke he became hostile and threw the paper to the ground.
Also Note that the balcony of the rooms is damaged and is extremely dangerous (As seen in the pictures).
Videos of the pressure of the room have been added and a video of a sink in the same building but public areas.
BE CAREFUL, THEY ARE PAYING $5 TO REMOVE REVIEWS, WHICH IS VERY DISTURBING AS THIS MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE OR SEE SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS.
This manager should be reported to the headquarters of HILTON as this shouldn't be the Hilton experience.
