My boss needed a room next month where there is a big convention in town.

I called the non Diamond line and was able to add their name.
That got me thinking, could there be an issue for them checking in, even though both our names are on the reservation?
Thoughts or experiences? Thanks.
http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/terms.do " This guarantee applies to only one room reserved with a valid credit card and occupied by the Diamond Elite Member. "
If your intent is to reserve the room and not occupy it, you are in violation of the T&C and attempting to obtain a benefit not entitled to receive.
I would hope they would not let your boss check-in without you being present.
