Was the $35 for gratuity?

QUOTE=Rgraffia87;36824066]We stayed in the beachfront. Yes we would. We are ocean people, and only dipped in the pool a minute to say we did it. But to be <50 steps from patio to ocean is absolute heaven for my wife and I. I recall reading that you could leave additional gratuity by charging to the room at checkout. I can't speak into the Hilton GCs as our total on checkout was $35 and I wasn't about to bother.

I will say I used 5 different surpass/Hilton biz cards checking out of Tabacon (a SLH in Costa Rica), and it did trigger the credit. I imagine they'd split a bill between multiple cards at Hermitage.[/QUOTE]
