There are no ADA police. If a private business such Hilton violates ADA, the remedy for the aggrieved person is to bring a lawsuit against the business.

A service dog must be under control. A business would be 100% within its rights to ask a customer to remove a service dog exhibiting any of these kind of behaviors:

1. Raising its leg
2. Showing aggression of any kind such as ears batted back, growling, persistent barking.
3. Jumping on other customers, etc.

The hotel is not making any judgment that the dog is or is not a "service dog", but simply that it is out of its owner's control. That is all that's required. Owner of a service dog has to maintain control over the animal.
