Hilton HHonors - Using a VIP GLON reward for less than 6 nights?

Can I use a GLON 100,000 point reward and only stay four or five nights? Four free nights at a "Classic" property is 110,000 and five is 135,000, so I would like to use a GLON award instead of an SC6 or SC7. Has anyone done this?

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I was unable to find it by searching.

Thanks

This has been done.
Go ahead and book the 6 nights. Then when you get to the property, tell them at check-in that you're only staying for 5 nights (plans do change).

I booked 6 nights on a GLON at the Syndey Hilton and only stayed 5. I am surpised at the comments made by tinkybelle. When ever I've booked an award stay reservations have only checked to see if award nights are available. They don't ask what award I using, therefore if I present a 6 night voucher but only stay 4 nobody cares. In fact, the hotel will gain, as they will be paid for a 6 night stay.

Why wouldn't you just want to stay all 6 nights. After all, they are free...sit back and enjoy and extra one or two free nights on the house.

or better yet, tell me which nights you are booking but not staying, and I'll stay in your room for free http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Gaza- the 6 night VIP has to be ordered by Hilton and it was for the following week so they had to make sure the nights were available before ordering the cert.

Called Hilton and they said it was no problem to use the GLON for stays shorter than 6 nights. Wish I could use the other two, but I will be on vacation in Spain for two weeks and I want to see a few different places, so I don't want to spend more than 4 or 5 nights in Barcelona.

I am using an ALON award at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for 5 of 6 nights in December. The sixth night was not available for award redemption. After checking with her supervisor, the reservations agent informed me that it was no problem as long as I understood that the 6th night of the award would be forfeited.
