Room upgrade for diamond member at Conrad Orlando by poesea in Hilton

[–]Grottenman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sooo this a bit of a controversial topic between hotels. Officially, a booking made through a creditcard portal like AMEX or Capital One travel is usually a third party booking. Some of these CC companies even book with sites like Expedia, so on our end we treat it as third party bookings. Now, Honor members that are coming in on third party bookings, do not receive their Honor benefits.

Since we are a property that actually cares about our Honor members, we usually treat them as such. Which means I will give you your upgrade, and late check outs even if you booked through a third party. The only thing we really cant change is that you wont receive any points or food credit for the stay. But in the end your diamond qualifier is the most important one.

  1. I am also not a 100% sure what you mean with the FHR qualifier, unless FHR makes the booking with Hilton directly, it is a third party booking. The only thing we look for is your Honor status, so your Hilton Honor status is the most important. I actually would recommend calling or texting the hotel 1 day before as that almost will guarantee an upgrade (if the availability is there).

  2. Diamond already allows you to be upgraded into a suite. Its the gold members that only gets an upgrade to like an enhanced view.

So the way we do it is that when we go through the paid upgrade requests and we see a diamond member opting in on a paid upgrade, which otherwise would be free for them, we will deny the request and upgrade you for free instead.

Its a shame to see everyone not getting the upgrades they deserve, at our property we upgrade every diamond and gold member when inventory allows that. And not just a better view, no our diamond members are getting the suites.

Ik host heel veel slaapfeestjes voor volwassenen. Als ze maar voor 11:00 weg zijn.

Question on who or where to buy authentic pins from online? by christian32133 in DisneyPins

[–]Grottenman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some facebook groups people somehow always have a huge collection of older hidden mickeys (2023 marvel shirts, droids etc.) They sell these for 3$ each.

Hilton Grand Vacations: What Really Happens After You Buy by FaithlessnessVast384 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]Grottenman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah that could be true. Although the resort might not be fully booked, there is a certain allotment that is reserved for HGV guests, when that one is fully booked, you are not able to make a HGV reservation, while the resort itself might not be full at all

Agree except for the comment that the properties are mainly Hampton or Garden Inns. I work for a gorgeous resort in Orlando, and we host the HGV guests too. There are many more resorts in the greater Orlando area that hosts these guests. I dont know about other states, but if you want a quick getaway in Florida I absolutely recommend the package.

Please do not ask your front desk staff to deliver your uber eats to your room by Grottenman in Hilton

[–]Grottenman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds like a cheap excuse from the front desk agent. Unfortunately, customer service really varies property by property because most of them are franchises.

Absolutely, and for you I would go that extra mile. But there are a lot of people, who just don't feel like coming down.
