For an in demand hotel the rooms may be booked if you wait too long. Would it be possible to instead make 4 individual bookings each day as rooms become available and then call on the 5th day and ask them to consolidate the 4 individual bookings and add a 5th night for free?
Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. If you book individual nights in hope to then add the fifth night free, all five nights need to be on the same reservation. That means that Hilton will need to cancel your four individual nights, and then attempt to book all five. If the cancelled nights don't go back into inventory immediately, or someone else grabs them, you may be out of luck.
