Hilton HHonors - Lounge Access for 3 people in two rooms booked by a Diamond

I have a question about lounge access when you book multiple rooms. I have a stay coming up at the Marquette in Minneapolis next weekend. I booked and pre-paid two rooms, one for me and one for my parents. I am a Diamond. Will all three of us be able to use the elite lounge? I wasn't able to add both parents names into the reservation for their room because of the bizantine forms on the HHonors site, but fortunately my Dad has the same name as me, so its just my mom at issue and I guess she could always be my guest right? I doubt we will spend TOO much time in the lounge, but the free breakfast or evening drinks might be nice. Any thoughts?

I've never had anyone checking my hotel room or name when entering a lounge. If your card works in the door, then it's fine. Occationally I've brought with me a collegue, but very seldom. I would say if you're entering the lounge at the same time, then you should be safe.

If you're really, really bad, you could ask for two keys for your room and give the other one to your parents for lounge access.

If you book two rooms under your name, then it seems perfectly legitimate that they would code 2 keys for each room for lounge access.

Two rooms...3 total people...I don't even think you have to be sneaky about this one. If you were stuffing 12 fraternity brothers into the two rooms, then...uhhh...yeah, that might be a problem.

At the Marquette, the attendants ask that you sign in when entering the lounge. However, during the three days I was there, I never saw the attendants pay attention to who accompanied the person who signed in. In my opinion, if there is a rule, they apply it very loosely, if at all. I wouldn't ask in advance; I don't think you'll have a problem, especially if you either put some green into the tip jar or hand a gratuity to the attendant after your first use. (The attendants are extremely friendly and service-oriented. In my opinion, deserving of a tip, anyway.)

only time I was ever denied an extra person was when i had 2 rooms at the Paris, before Hilton dropped it.

I had to pay "a resort fee" for the other room..Hilton wouldnt back me.

That was several years ago.

Thanks for the replies everyone. It sounds like we'll be ok, so that's a good thing. I've never been denied a guest either (even abroad) but this is the first time I've had multiple rooms booked and wanted access for both rooms.

They usually ask for your room number in UK and Central Europe. There's particular airport hotel I stay several times a year. Lounge staff hasn't changed at least 3 years and they even remeber my lastname. Nevertheless they still ask which room Mr has got this time.

I've done 2 rooms/4 people with lounge access couple of times being "just" gold. I believe it's either everybody or nobody in a 2 room reservation.

So, what happened?

Sorry for the delay, meant to post this earlier, but I've been swamped at work this week. We got full lounge access for all of us. Enjoyed evening drinks and snacks and the nice breakfast each morning. Good stuff. Also got two upgraded rooms. Staff was outstanding. I really liked this hotel, its one of the best Hiltons I've stayed at in a while.
