Here's a few helpful things to remember when staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Clovis. I had a confirmed room booked over a week ago. I arrived past midnight after driving four hours from LA and working a full day only to be told by the officious desk clerk that my reservation had been cancelled because of overbooking and that they had booked me at a Hampton Inn and that they had tried to contact me. Half asleep already I put my bags back in my car and looked at the directions to the Hampton Inn. It's in Fresno, twenty five minutes away! Now fully awake, I go back in to the Hilton to find out how hard they tried to contact me because I got no email about it and they didn't call my house because my wife would have told me and they didn't call my business because they would have called me. Well, here's a word of wisdom for all you kids out there: Don't dare question the authority of the Hilton Hotel Organization. The minute I came back in asking who they "tried to contact," out comes the security guard and the desk clerk is telling me "you've got to leave or we're calling the police!" The police? Why because I had the temerity to ask a question? So now the jackboot security guard escorts me back to my car and hovers over me to make sure that I leave because now, of course, I'm "the problem." So remember kids, when you stay at a Hilton Hotel anywhere do not ask questions, just smartly salute the portrait of Paris Hilton and her little dog Himmler and whatever you do, do not ask to see the manager because your next stay could be at the Hilton Garden Inn at Guantanamo. when my wife called to complain on my behalf because I was working, they rudely hung up on her. read more
