The link from SanDiego1K works, but I can only read the first paragraph. However, now the llink in the OP works now and I can read the entire article from that link.
IANAL but if the valet parkers were wearing Hilton/DoubleTree uniforms and if the hotel offers valet parking on its website and allows valet parking fees to be billed to rooms, I don't see how Hilton can disavow all responsibility here. Hilton made a contract with the valet parking company so it's not like these guys just arrived on the street in front of the hotel and set up shop. Hilton would be the deep pockets rather than some local valet parking company, although increasingly one sees all of the valet parking places in a city as being operated by the same company, which wouldn't be such a small business after all.
