She said she was with Hilton Reservations. I told her I had called the hotel. She replied that the hotel was not in the reservation business and my call was automatically switched to Hilton Reservations. The only rate she could give me was $199. I then called the hotel, making sure I was actually talking to the hotel, not a reservation contractor. The person read off the confirmation number that I had just received from the reservation contractor. At least that much worked. She said that the clerk who took my reservation had been fired and did not "plug me in" as he had promised. The "hotel" could only give me the $199 rate and no one on premises is authorized to give me any other rate. The manager, AJ or Antonio, might be in tomorrow or he may not be. She would have him call me but could not tell me when. I am not happy with the Hampton, and too stressed to call the Comfort. I think I will just head for the Northeast shoot.

Someone please tell me again why we do business with this Hotel......... Just wondering...........
