Re: IRI Hotel Arrangements

I'm extremely disappointed in the Hilton. We've stayed there for 4 or 5 years now and we have the same problem every year. I don't choose the hotel so I can't say why we keep going back, but it's probably because of the very convenient location.

Every year that we've been there, the hotel screws up and gives us rooms with a single king bed even though we always request 2 doubles. Since we put multiple people in each room (2 mentors per room, 4 students per room), having only 1 bed is obviously a problem. No one likes the rollaway thing.

This year all of our mentor rooms were single bed rooms. It's appalling to me that a place as nice (and pricey) as the Hilton can't manage to figure out how to properly reserve the rooms we ask for.

Add to this all the other negatives listed (why on earth do the most expensive hotels charge for internet while the cheapest ones have it free?) and it makes the Hilton a very unattractive option to me.
