Canopy by Hilton Hotels in Dallas

The first thing I will say is ”SHAME ON HILTON!” if they run a staff with so few people. We were there Fri-Sun. There was ONE valet the entire time who worked open to close. He really was one of the best things about the entire hotel experience and worked his butt off! Seriously, the guy has a way of making you smile. The front desk clerk, Estafania, (there were only 2 the entire weekend) was crazy sweet and helpful! The wonderfully great lady at the entrance bar makes amazing drink. THIS IS WHERE THE GOOD ENDS. THIS WAS NOT A $400/NIGHT ROOM! The carpet in the room was gross and stained. The toilet wouldn't flush unless flushed multiple times. When maintenance came, they basically told us to stand and hold the plunger down longer or ”flush twice if you need to”. The TV was a pain and would randomly go back to the menu. The radio never worked correctly and wouldn't stay on and it was the ONLY way in the room to listen to music. There was an area where the clothes hung that had a ”chiller” built in to a cabinet. The thing hummed loudly most of the time. ”BUT! THERE'S A TERRACE!” you say. The chairs were so gross and frayed, we never actually got brave enough to sit in them. Perhaps some of these things are normal in Texas, but we asked for late checkout. Anything beyond 1 hr and it was another $50 to a half day's charge. They promote the ”rooftop bar” but what they forget to tell you is that it's open to the general public. You're not going to find a seat there unless you get there early! We were ”given” a sad little bag of two generic waters as a ”check-in gift”. Valet is $35 a day but after seeing stores CHARGE A VALET just to shop at them, I guess it's not too bad. They hold a $50 a day charge ”in case”. No included breakfast - that will cost you another $15. I had expected nicely decorated and great beds, especially for the price of the room. It had been 12 yrs since I'd had a real vacation. I expected better for the cost.
