Hampton by Hilton Hotels in Livonia

I usually like staying here because of the location, breakfast and ability to use the digital key from my phone. I usually stay here several times a year in the same room in the back of the hotel due to convenience, but this time there were a couple of issues. I always get a digital key so I can limit my interactions with others and often because I fly in really late and like to go straight to my room. Unfortunately, this time the digital key did not work on the outside door and this was very disappointing, considering I arrived at about 2 AM with all my luggage in tow. Luckily someone was going in at the same time so I was able to go in with her and the digital key worked fine on my room door. The second day though the same thing happened as I arrived about 10 pm and again, luckily someone was coming out so I was able to go to my room that’s night. By it being late both nights I just reported this to the front desk to get a regular key for the outside door and also to inform them that remote entry is not working with a digital key and they should have someone fix this for those that have rooms at the back of the hotel. I also had problems with my sink clogging and draining really slow. I reported this to the front desk and asked for maintenance, but they never came to fix it. The toilet is also still loose and needs to be fixed (this was also an issue when I came in October and it looks like no one has fixed this either). lastly I was staying for five days so on day 3, I asked for the bathroom to be refreshed and had to call a second time after waiting about 3-4 hours to have someone come. They were nice, but unfortunately I was again disappointed when I took a shower and there was still no body wash available. I don’t know what is going on at this location, but they really need to get it together.

The room was clean. The bedding was fresh. The bathroom had been nicely updated with soap, shampoo, creams, etc. mounted on the wall, allowing more counter space. Plenty of towels. The room is rather small but with everything needed. For an inexpensive hotel, we were impressed with their attention to detail.
