This might be a strange question. I am staying at a hotel in NYC and was wondering if as a Starwoods Gold member or Hilton gold VIP member I am allowed to use the hotel pools of the Starwoods and Hilton their hotels in Manhattan if I am not staying at the hotel. Needless to say I am not staying at a starwoods or hilton pool this trip.

Would the answer change if I become a Starwoods Platinum or Hilton Diamond VIP?

Thanks
