I choose to book a 2 bedroom suite at the Hilton Grand Vacation Suites last week for several reasons
1. I wanted a 2 bedroom suite with two king beds
2. Some where on the strip.
3. It did not have to be in the hustle and bustle of the main drag.
4. Less traffic.
5. Late check out at 2 pm.
I got
1. A nice clean 2 bedroom suite for a reasonable price.
2. Nice location without a lot of traffic and noise.
3. Denied late 2 pm check out even though it was in my contracted rate.
4. Parking Fee $13
The Hotel is nice even though through out the day the place is filled with prospective Time Share Buyers.
I called down as a courtesy to inform them I would be checking out at 2 pm per my reserved rate. That phone call was 10 min on hold until a manager approved a 1 pm check out ( not 2 pm). Since was not planing to stay till 2 pm anyways I took it. I am elite gold or higher at most hotel brands including Hilton. I could have pressed the issue but choose not to. They don't even understand their own Hotel rates.
Funny thing happened as I was riding up the elevator with a Time Share salesperson and her clients. The Sales person asked people in the elevator if they were Hilton Honors members which most of us were. She was going on boasting the advantages. I wanted to chime in a give them the honest evaluation on the 2 pm check.
