So I found out that Hilton staff have their own Hilton Honours program. They get stay credits even on staff rates and get recognised as Gold or Diamond members too. I don’t mind or care if they have this privilege. But I do mind when they can compete with full fare paying guests when getting upgrades.

i was a little peeved when I was staying at a property recently and when I checked in was told that no more suites are available. But a friend I know who’s a Hilton employee had a suite reserved for him tell me that it’s also because hotels can not differentiate between members and employees until check in, after the room is assigned.

Don’t think Hilton employees should get privileges over guests. What do you think?
