What is “S SHARE”?
I have a booking coming up for 2 rooms at a Hilton property. I took at look at the reservation in my app today and it no longer has the cancellation button but says “this reservation can no longer be cancelled” and then at the very bottom of the page it has my name and says “S Share” twice.
The booking is cancellable (it’s the standard HHonors discount one day cancellable rate) and I’ve seen the app make those non-cancellable online before (I assume it means the hotel has touched the reservation in some way), but I’ve never seen the “S Share” before. Any idea what that means?

thanks! I'm not worried about cancelling, as I've had that issue before with the app, more just curious about what the "S Share" notation might mean, since that is a new one for me.

(The above is plausible, but is also just me spinning up a story to support my pre-existing hypothesis)

I'm a huge fan of the guaranteed connecting room functionality that hilton introduced last year-- i travel with my kids very often, and used to always ask properties in advance for connecting rooms, and while they usually said that they'd try, 50% of the time I'd get to the property and find they had assigned rooms nowhere near each other. I have picked Hilton properties over other options multiple times this year to guarantee the connecting room, and am willing to pay extra for the guarantee (so win-win for hilton).
