Worst COVID safety policies and…
Worst COVID safety policies and customer service ever at Hampton Inn Indianapolis/Carmel. This hotel hands down has the worst COVID safety practices, management and customer service I have ever experienced. Kyle Byrne the manager at the time was the most rude and unprofessional manager I have ever encountered within any company or establishment. He was completely unwilling to take any steps at all to re-book or refund my reservation which was made in error even knowing that I had a recent COVID exposure that would put all employees and guests at the hotel at risk if I were to keep my original reservation. As a loyal diamond member I have worked with many kind and helpful people within Hilton and the hotel and services industry as a whole. This hotel is an obvious exception and I would advise anyone against staying there both for the lack of regard for public safety during a pandemic and the unacceptable and unprofessional manner in which they treat their customers. The receptionist left the phone on speaker while trying to transfer and I heard them discussing me and my unresolved issue in a very disrespectful and unprofessional manner that is consistent with the poor attitude of the management. Other reviews have indicated that this hotel is overpriced considering the non-central location which is obviously the case but if I were to pay the price to stay at this location I would expect a safe and friendly atmosphere neither of which appears to be a priority at this location. I will now have to begin a lengthy and cumbersome process of applying for a direct refund from the Hilton Diamond desk which has assured me that, although the manager is acting against their companies best interests, they will be able to issue me a refund eventually without the help of this sub-par location.
