I received a call telling me the hotel would not be able to honor my June 9 stay, and that the hotel would be closed for "five months for extensive refurbishment."

On calling to verify, was told by the individual answering the telephone at the property the following:

• The Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Airport/Burlingame will close June 1 2008
  
• the hotel will be closed "at least six months."

My attempt to book in June was met with the following message:

* We're sorry; there are no rooms available that meet your criteria at this hotel.
We recommend you try one of the options below:
- Try changing your dates or criteria and search again.
- View Availability Calendar if you have flexible travel dates
- Select a different hotel from the list below.

The availability calendar, however shows rooms available as of July 10-, 2008, so they have either not updated it, or ? (IMO, the hotel was not in need of refurbishment, so maybe it was something less visible, e.g. plumbing system - and I can't imagine an airport hotel closing during the busy summer season unless the had to.

Other booking attempts indicate the hotel may be available by Diamond Privilege - uh, no.
