Hilton Garden Inn Hotels in Milpitas

We recently stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn SJ/Milpitas. I love the newly renovated room, clean and the staff were friendly. However, I unfortunately experienced a concerning incident during my stay that I want to share. On the first morning of my stay, someone knocked on our door at around 8 am and opened it. We assumed it was housekeeping but the person didn't announce themselves as ”housekeeping” like they usually do. Fortunately, we had the safety door lock in place, so the person wasn't able to open the door wide. We didn't think much about it and we curled up back to bed. We couldn't see who it was anyway as the person closed the door when we got up to check. Later in the morning, around 9:30 am, I went downstairs to get breakfast. When I returned to the room, my son informed me that someone had knocked on the door again and this time the person was able to open the door and walk inside (This time the safety door lock was not in place cause I went outside to get bfast and my son still in bed). It was a man, and when he saw my son, he quickly left the room. I was understandably upset and immediately called the front desk to report the incident. The staff conducted an investigation to find out who the man was and called me back an hour later to inform me that he was a new housekeeper. However, I find it hard to believe that a housekeeper wouldn't know to announce themselves before entering a guest's room, and I never received an apology from the hotel management or any further explanation of what happened. It was terrifying and I was suspicious that they were not telling me the truth. Anything could have happened in that 30 min that my son was alone in the room while I went to get bfast. While I appreciated the cleanliness of the room and the friendliness of the staff, this incident left me feeling uncomfortable and concerned about the security of my stay. I hope that the hotel takes steps to ensure the safety and privacy of their guests in the future.
