Hilton Gold member, but booking on Hotels.com
My wife and I are, for the time being, Gold Hilton members. We plan to book 2-3 nights at the Rome Airport Hilton...but not via the Hilton webpage.
The Hilton page gives its Honors discount night twin room as $230; Hotels.com gives the same twin room for $166.
Our question is: Upon check-in we will ask for an upgrade as Gold members (not sure if we are entitled to one, but most hotels upgrade us since we ask nicely). Would the fact that we booked not on the Hilton page have any negative bearing on this? And, we assume, our free Gold member breakfast would not be impacted, correct?
Thank you for any advice you can offer.
