I had one of the most negative experiences I have ever had staying at a hotel, and I stay at hotels close to 100 nights per year, and I am Diamond Elite at Hilton. I got up very early and spoke with the night desk reception for a 1pm check-out, and was granted that late check-out. He was so responsive, he even asked for my room keys to re-configure them otherwise they would not have worked after the typical 11am check-out time. I had to run some early morning errands, came back and had a very nice conversation with the day front-desk clerk, and went back to my room to do some work. Beginning at around 10am, a housekeeper opened my door despite there being a "do not disturb" sign being on my door and my having a late check-out. Because I do not like air conditioning blowing on me, I generally keep my rooms higher in temperature and wear fewer clothes, so, the housekeeper who opened my door got to see a lot of me unclothed body. The same thing happened again about an hour later. Then about 11:30, who I came to know as the head housekeeper (I since double-locked the door though I felt I should not have had to) knocked at my door, still with the do not disturb sign on the door, for at least 90 seconds and would not stop. I went to answer the door and she proceeded to argue with me that I did not have a late check out. After the argument, I checked my key and discovered it did not work. I was very much bothered by all of these interruptions and my work suffered. After this interaction with the head housekeeper, I could not concentrate at all, so I packed up my belongings and got prepared to depart early for the next Hilton property at which I was staying. When I went down to the desk to speak with the morning front desk clerk with whom I had had great interactions, he told me he had "...checked my out of (my) room in error...". His story to me was unbelievable and I told him so. This had never happened to me in all my years of traveling, and if it had, I would have thought that I would have received a phone call from him after the three interactions with housekeeping, one of them the head housekeeper. As a former forensic and criminal psychologist, I am trained to read people and detect whether they're speaking truth or not, whether someone's story makes sense based on objective facts or not, and none of this added up. What added up is that housekeeping wanted to clean my room and they wanted me out, and I left earlier than my 1pm checkout. But I was not a happy camper for how those behaviors impacted me: this is a $250/night hotel room with taxes during college football season. The clerk came out to my car and apologized for what had happened, and I was having nothing to do with what I perceived as intentional acts. A woman who was driving a very expensive sportscar and who I intuited was the franchisee owner came over and spoke with me, and I told her I would be writing a review of my experiences. She asked me what happened, and I told her. Sh
