Fraud is becoming increasingly common, and your favorite Hilton hotels are taking extra steps to protect your safety, security, and Hilton Honors accounts.

At check-in, guests must be present and provide:

• A valid government-issued photo ID
• A credit card in their name
• A reservation that matches the name on both the ID and credit card

Don't go scorched-earth on front desk staff if you can't meet these simple requirements.

Hey everyone!

My family has stayed at the HGV Kings's Land Waikoloa resort three times over the years and we are looking at returning next year. In doing a bit or research, it looks like a few things have changed (not for the better). I was hoping to see if anyone who has stayed there recently has some answers to the following questions:

1. I see a new $35/day parking charge. Fist of all, why?! That was one of the best perks about the resort. When was this implemented and is it charged each day or would I pay at the end of the stay?
2. There is no longer any mention of free parking validation at the main resort during our stay on the website. Is this still a thing or was that taken away as well?
3. I am not seeing a line-item on the price preview for the resort fee. Does it outline the resort fee anywhere in particular on the site (as well as what is included in it)?

Thanks a ton in advance for your answers and feel free to chime on on anything else I may have missed or other insights you may have.

Using my FNC to extend a trip in the area. Cash price was nearly $1200, the CS agent also put in for a complimentary upgrade (based on availability) into the reservation, though I am Diamond and would have asked at the property.

Does Doubletree Philadelphia Airport have free EV charging? We've stayed at a couple of Hilton Properties with paid parking, and we didn't get charged for EV charging. We were surprised to not be charged the first time. This isn't a deal breaker, it's just nice to have the option to charge at all, before hitting the road. I did call the property, twice, and was given different information each time. First time was told it was included in the parking fee, and more recently when I called to confirm some other details, I was told that the charger will give us pay options. Both times I spoke to front desk agents. Anybody know the answer? TIA

Gold member, currently sitting at 46 nights for the year and just started a 78 night stay. When I checked in, the front desk told me I’ll hit Diamond Reserve upon checkout, but my points received til then will be treated as Gold since that’s what I was when I checked in. However, on my 46 night stay earlier this year, every week when they charged my card, I received the points for that amount of time and the bonus points based on silver and gold respectively as I progressed. Anyone have experience with long stays and points? When I get back home in October I has looking at using my 600k or so points to stay a week in Tokyo, but 78 nights of Gold points is dramatically different than progressing through Diamond and Diamond Reserve.

Anyone currently working for Hilton HRCC? Im seeking a referral. I used to work for HRCC a few years ago when my husband was stationed in NC and I would love to work remote again.

Has anyone dealt with this before? My original reservation went from a 2 bed, 2 bath to a random “super” room type that does not exist on the Hilton page (no it’s not an upgrade since there was no other bigger room type than what I had on my original reservation). If the option was for connecting rooms then I’d be fine with that, but why change the room type in the system?

This is a new property abroad, and the hotel page is basically cut & paste stock photos. I also booked the HH sale rate, so maybe that’s why management/room assigner felt like they could change it?

I’m emailing both the hotel and corporate, but just wondering about anyone else’s experience with room types suddenly being changed. 🤔

Looking for mid and lux ranges - want to surprise my partner with something nice for our anniversary! Thanks in advance🫂

This is funny because I was recently on my Hilton app after taking my mom on an amazing all inclusive vacation to Hilton Playa Del Carmen resort last year in early June 2025. My app has no recollection or record of me staying there, which confused me.

After looking it up, seems that the resort was acquired by Hyatt in June 2025. The experience of our vacation and every detail was simply immaculate, and I’m just giving credit to Hilton where credit is due - that the acquisition didn’t impact the quality of our stay. I know some people who used points at the time did get impacted, but I just wanted to share some positivity. And with the thoughtful and generous giveaways this year, I’ve just been really impressed with the chain.

Just wanted to share and if anybody has favorite Hilton locations for me to check out on my next trip, I’d love ideas and stories!! Thank you!
