"The reservation selected cannot be managed online."

When clicking on View/Edit, that's the message I get for my next reservation.

I called the Diamond Desk and had the agent look at the reservation. She said all was well and she couldn't understand why I couldn't view it either.

I can View/Edit all my other reservations with no problem.

Any wisdom? Or is this just another example of Hilton's crack IT efforts?

Where did you book this? Through the Hilton website or a travel agency/3rd party?

I use a travel agency and this is the message I see on all my reservations at Hilton. If I need to make changes, I generally make a call to the hotel I am booked at.

Hilton website, per usual.

The only "change" I have made is emailed a request to the Diamond Desk to add a "Request early check-in if available" line to the comments section which they emailed back almost immediately to say that that had been done.

This has happen to me a few times and it is very frustrating. Normally I want to cancel the room and I end up sending a mail to the Diamond Desk and they do it for me. Extra work for having poor IT.

I do all my bookings through the Hilton web.

I've got one, too. It was made through the website, nothing fancy, just an advance purchase room for one night. The one thing I did was to do the free NOR-1 upgrade. But, they are two separate software programs, so doing that shouldn't affect the other.

I think the Hilton computer learned to do its job by mimicking HAL9000 from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Are you sure? I did not think an MITS Altair 8800 or TRS 80 was capable of artificial intelligence.

I have seen this happen to reservations when the property does an update to the record (room upgrade, date change, etc.). I'm not sure what else they may have touched but the record is locked out to me. Still a valid booking but I need to call to make any changes or to cancel.

Well, I'll hope it's because of an upgrade

That happened with me too. I think it's a web-site error.
You can find your confirmation e-mail and go with link "Modify Reservation" in your reservation detail.
So I had changed my reservation and had canceled too.

Thanks for the @:-) Garina, I will try to remember this possibility next time I have the problem.

This happens to me regularly -- following the link from the email confirmation just brings me the same error response that the OP mentions.

Although most of my stays are booked on hilton.com, this problem occurs most every time the property in question accesses my reservation (for whatever reason they choose, and seldom an upgrade !).

I'm same situation just now.
I was checking this five minuts ago. One of my reservation is going from link View/Edit to technical error, but when I'm going from confirmation e-mail, I can see my reservation and change it.

Doesn't work for me.
