Hotel Hampton by Hilton di Ridgefield Park

Bed bugs, lies, impolite staff and transfer madness! We booked that hotel for it’s park/stay/cruise option and for it’s Hilton good name. After a long 12 hour drive, we got to the hotel and straight to bed we went. We saw one bug, then, thought nothing of it. Then more crawled onto my leg…we saw 4 that we picked up and killed. Right away, we got dressed, and got out the room with all our luggage. We went to the front desk (around midnight). No one was there, I called and then someone picked up. We explained the situation to the person at check-in. He yelled to go away with those bugs, not wanting to see them and rushed us to throw in the garbage. Which we did after taking pictures. Following that, the clerk said the hotel was full, so no other option offered us to let us but to sleep on the pull out couch in that same bed bugs room… we decided to just go and sleep in our car at that point, asking if we could at least access showers in the morning to get ready. He agreed. He also said that our room would be refunded, to give them 3-5 working days and that we could still let our car parked there during our cruise. In the morning, we wanted to go wash up, a new person was there. We explained the situation and he confirmed the cancellation too. Then offered me towels so I could go freshen up (shower option was gone). We were directed to use the pool toilets, which did not even have hands soap. Fast forward 10 cruise days - the charge is on my Visa. Before leaving for home, we go back to the hotel with the intention of obtaining a written confirmation of that cancellation. One hour later, no cancellation in sight. Only the promise of a new manager to call me back once he gets more info on his side after being I was told they had more urgent things to do. After being lied 2 twice and dismissed once, I wrote to Hilton for a follow-up, they gave the hotel 3 days to fix this and that 3 day has passed and still nothing… this is the first time in my life that such a bad service has happened in an hotel and my first bedbug encounter. I hope they make good on their refund promise…
