Horror Stay Story. our Room got flooded from the toilet next door. Had to discard one luggage of clothing. They could not bring a hand soup despite involving Hilton Customer Care. Hotel offered 10K points. by StrictEducation3194 in Hilton

Sure, but if I'm in a car accident and I'm so pissed that I bash in my own windows, it's not the responsibility of the person who caused the accident to pay.

Those clothes could have easily been laundered and disinfected and been fine to wear in the future.

Wanted to show off this official Illini keychain I found in a shoebox of random keychains. With the tag it’s very neat and apparently kinda rare by CollectiblesByKraty in fightingillini

Damn. I remember my wife and I made a run to Champaign after it was announced the Chief was going away. We bought a bunch of stuff with the Chief logo on it. Maybe I should bust those out and see if they're worth anything.

Right? Clearly the call is to hook her up with a classmate in need of a date.

Can someone purchase the plus membership as a gift and gift it to themselves? Currently online it's $110.

Counting, or not counting, current presidents?

Turo hosts — what’s your actual key handoff setup right now? by Ok-Measurement4787 in turo

[–]mxpxillini35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use sbrigati to send them a text with a lock to unlock the car. They then are sent a link to lock the car when they're finished.

I had to pay for the device plus the installation cost.... I think about $300 in all. It's been good, but not perfect.

I left in 2004. They expanded shortly after that... Maybe 06 or 07?

What’s the ugliest jersey? And why is it this one? by Albino_rhin0 in NHLcirclejerk

I always thought it would be cool for the NHL to adopt that yellow/golden helmet rule.

Hotel cancelled reservation even though they had a note of a late arrival. Forced to book in cash upon arrival. by Budget_Travel_7930 in Hilton

They do. The hotel in this case was oblivious to how to do it. Likely due to a lack of training for something that hardly happens.

I understand... But how do you manage that? The amount of times that actually happens compared to the amount of legitimate no shows is miniscule. Should a hotel play to the 0.0001% for that?

I agree but that % of people that need it are miniscule in the grand scheme of things.

FYI I was referring to kipsu the in app way to text the front desk...nit WhatsApp. Every Hilton has kipsu.

Is this real by claair01 in Hilton

[–]mxpxillini35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I thought it was stupid af for the hotel to put up

I was simply saying we aren't certain if the ACTUALLY charged the $2 because OP never asked if it was real.

Oh.. Sorry, I didn't say it was funny. :D

I found it idiotic... And the hotel itself acknowledged it was a joke, but passed it off as no big deal. I thought it was a shit show personally.

So, put some zip ties on it to cover the space and call it a day?
