Overall a great and warm stay, but please have the option of some personal shampoo/conditioner/soap
Pros:

great full breakfast but ended at 10

Cons:

I don't like the new shampoo/conditioner dispensers. It seems less clean when other's have showered and used/touched those dispensers.

Customer Service Issues!
Pros:

My husband is a LIFETIME DIAMOND member and asked for a complimentary upgrade upon check in for one night. He was told there were no rooms available. When we looked on the website, they had upgrades available.

Austin, who identified himself as the Hilton Manager, told my husband I can’t upgrade you because the upgraded rooms MIGHT be rented out. Austin got very condescending when asked to explain his reasoning. We will never stay at the Waco Hilton downtown ever again. I mean if there employees don’t value lifetime members or Hilton members loyalty to Hilton, why would you stay here.

My husband travels for business and stays at Hilton Hotels over 100 nights per year.

For the record I’ve never left a bad review on Hilton. We don’t expect complimentary upgrades on every stay, we are always very polite and respectful.

I’m going to leave a review on every website i can find, so Hilton members know Austin at Waco Hilton does not value you. It was his attitude that really upset us and the fact that they lied.
