Hampton Inn in Washington DC near the Convention CenterI enjoyed our five day stay at the hotel, until the last morning on November 5th. Checkout wasn’t until noon, so I spent my time having breakfast at a nearby restaurant and then I visited a jewelry store before returning to the hotel. Upon returning my room key stopped working and I wasn’t able to use it on the elevator to get to my room. At the front desk, the male clerk checked our reservations and asked for my ID. He informed me since my husband booked the room and that my name wasn’t on the reservation. He said that they hadn’t done anything to make the room key stop working. It had to be a building that I had visited that deactivated my card. He said I had to have my husband text him to verify that I was supposed to be in the room. I told him my husband was attending a conference and I wasn’t certain that he would answer right away. I sat in the lobby for about 15 minutes waiting for my husband’s response. My husband arrived at the hotel and discovered his room key had also stopped working. The same desk clerk asked him for his ID and gave him a new room key. Checkout time was at noon and this happened around 11:00 am. Why were our room keys deactivated before it was time to check out? I will never stay at this Hampton Inn due to the inconvenience I experienced.

Consumer Reports is an independent, nonprofit member organization that works for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace. Consumers Union was chartered on February 6, 1936, at a time when consumers had very few options to gauge the value, quality, or authenticity of goods and services. It was an era of unfettered advertising claims, rapid technological progress, and patchwork regulations. Since then, CR has remained true to its mission, testing and reviewing countless products to make sure they’re safe and worth your money. Through our advocacy, we’ve helped people save billions. And we’ve influenced some of the most critical issues of the marketplace: the dangers of smoking cigarettes and eating toxic foods, predatory practices of credit card companies, safety risks in cars, and more.
