The thing which really sticks out is the total incompetence of the people behind the counter:
1) Each person says something different.
2) None of them take responsibility
3) They change their process all the time confusing both guests and their own staff
4) They will not do what they tell you they will do. You will need to go back and push repeatedly to get things done.
The front office staff is definitely racist. The lady who was on the left side of the check-in counter on 6/25/2017 - for sure. Note to the lots of Indian families who visit this hotel - keep this in mind - you will get lower service, and worse rooms even though the value of your dollars is the same as the value of the dollars from other people.
The African american staff at the restaurant are really nice, very friendly. This is how hotel staff should be. I would fire the front office staff and keep people like these, who respect their jobs, and are good at it.
The room itself was great - furnishings, etc. Pretty good. This place has a lot of potential if Hilton fires the incompetent front-office staff. If they have no idea about how to run the hotel, give that job to good hard working people who will respect the job instead of taking it for granted and screwing around with the guests.
The A/C in our room could not cool it well. It was very loud, and worked very badly. A total failure. It is like a $5 A/C in a $100K room. Why would you do that? Did you give us the bad room which needed an A/C which required maintenance because we were Indians?
I have been to really bad hotels. This is a great hotel which is screwed over because of the staff and maintenance issues. #SAD

Dear Jason 1923, Thank you for taking time to share your comments with us after your recent stay here in Niagara. Please accept our apologies for the treatment you experienced by our front desk staff and the Front Office Manager, Caroline. Please be assured that there was no malice in any of her actions as we have a varied staff working at our hotel with a largely Asian clientele due to our border location at the Falls. I will definitely investigate further to see where the misunderstandings may have occurred. Again my apologies. Cordially, Scott Swagler GM
