Since we are in the Hilton forum, a reminder that Amex cards don't allow DCC, so when staying at foreign Hiltons I generally use my Aspire card. I wish Visa and MC would follow Amex' example, though.

Name and shame
I would have asked for a manager and told them to reverse it now or I would dispute the charge as unauthorized.
