Rate is $68 if you can admit to, and prove, being over 62
I think I'm coming to see the mansion.

Cholula

I can’t prove it unless I use Dovster’s ID. Do they card you??

lili

Not me, but YMMV

(I wonder if there's a market in fake Elder-ID so the underage can get the Denny's senior specials.)

jfe

Don't believe what they say, it's not a mansion

Cholula

If your house isn’t a mansion, then I’ve never seen a mansion.

jfe

Then you haven't seen one, that thing must have like 50 bedrooms, mine only has 5

I can't be the only Hilton-hopper. Or am I?

jfe

Nope Canarsie is one also

There is a Hilton, Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites (avoid), and the New Hilton Garden Inn (opening November)

Kiwi Flyer

If I can make it I will also be doing a Hilton mattress run.

The Hilton at the airport in El Paso was slightly more expensive than the Marriott — US$6.00 more per night plus tax, to be exact.

Although you will get free water in the lobby and in the room, a slice of cake delivered to your room, a small table of food near the elevator in the evening and breakfast in a separate area of the restaurant in the morning, it does not have a real Executive Lounge if you are an Elite HHonors member. However, you will be too busy eating with your fellow FlyerTalk members to eat at the Hilton. The rooms are okay, but not as nice as at the Marriott, whose rooms are nothing special either.

I paid US$85.00 per night last year, which is the BounceBack weekend rate, and that is the going rate again for this year.

Unless you are attempting to achieve Hilton HHonors elite status for next year, go by room rate in this case. They are close enough to each other that they are within walking distance.

However, if you rent a car and must fly out the next morning, the Hilton is literally within walking distance of the airport, so you can return your rental car the night before and possibly save money on an extra day’s rate for the car rental, as well as save time in the morning to catch your flight because you would not have to return your rental car.

Last year, I stayed at the Marriott for two nights and the Hilton for one night. If I return this year, I may just do that again.

What do you mean by "if?" Your presence is mandatory at all WWBTNFTMTP DOs since you started the whole thing. The only excuse that will let you off is serious illness accompanied by a doctor's letter and the number of the telephone in your hospital room.

Cholula

Let me repeat jfe’s warning.

AVOID the Embassy Suites, ELP.

I stayed there a dozen times because I was forced to and there are hot and cold running cuckarachas, mold in the shower, a distinct smell of sewage in the rooms, the high-speed internet sucked and there were dust mites the size of small dogs.

Otherwise, I had a fairly pleasant stay.

Dovster

I knew there was a reason I will be staying at the Embassy Suites in Boca.

FourWheels

Hmmm, lemme see if I've got this right... you don't recommend the ES? Geeez, what's a little mold, sewage? Thank goodness there are enough HH properties to hop.

I'll confirm myself as "definite" as soon as the fares drop sub-$300 from my beloved 2-gater. I can always use my orphan HP miles though.

Starwood Lurker

Okay, it's official. I'll be coming in on AA and staying at the Hilton.
