Overlapping stays
 

With my partner, I have a 10 night stay booked at a Hilton soon. I'll be staying the first 3 nights then moving to a Hilton in another city for 2 nights prior to returning for the balance of the stay at the original hotel. My partner will stay the whole 10 nights in the first hotel. My understanding is that I'll just receive the points for the 10 night stay but will I get the inhouse benefits for the nested stay eg lounge access, breakfast, room upgrade? Thanks.

In my experience with dual-lodging/simultaneous stays, you'll receive all of your elite benefits at both properties. The individual properties really don't know or care that you're staying somewhere else at the same time (and there are plenty of justifiable reasons why that might be the case). You will only receive the points/stay credit for one stay automatically. YMMV on success in trying to get the second stay credited manually (but I've been successful in the past).

You may have some luck getting the second stay posted manually; no guarantees unless you have a legacy Honors Mutual Fund Account.

Unless you are completely 100% loyal to Hilton, I would move that 2 night stay to a different chain.

That has been my experience - points and stay credit for only one stay, benefits at both. Had this at separate properties as well as at the same property (although the latter was a Hampton Inn so not much “benefit”). The app allowed me to use digital key for both rooms at the same property.

I would certainly do that if there were no Hilton benefits and I might even do so for the experience. I don't do enough nights to reach status in two programs.

I have an overlapping stay this week, a single night on the final night of a 5 night stay. Any route or tips to getting the overlapped stay credited?

Hilton now consider an overlapping stay where you check out and in again on the same day/same hotel.

Say you have 2 weeks booked at a Hilton and check out on July 2nd then you find the airline cancels your flight so you need to have another 1 night stay in the same hotel.
You book it and check IN to the new booking on July 2nd.
You will not earn the previous 2 weeks HH points as it's classed as an overlap!

I’m not sure I understand this. If you check out after a 14 day stay on 2JUL, then make a new reservation at the same hotel to check in on 2JUL and checkout on 3JUL, these stays will be combined into one 15 day stay instead of two stays (one 14 day stay + one 1 day stay).

This is completely incorrect.

i frequently have to do this, extend stays by making a new booking. It counts as 1 stay, not 2, but you get all your points and nights. They may do some accounting so all the charges are moved to the 2nd stay and all points post on that itinary with 0 points posting for the 1st.

I have a situation that this seems like the best place to ask the quetion.

I have a 5 night stay with my husband (reward) and for the middle three nights we have a room (award nights) booked of my son and daughter-in-law at the same hotel (so under my name). What nights will get credited to my account? The first reservation of five nights, the first check out (the three nights of my son and DIL) or both for 8?

I got my diamond nights qualification so this is really only for rollover but I would like it to be the 5 since the double night credit promo for that would be 10 nights and 10k points. The eight nights (so 16 credited) would be ideal but I somehow doubt that will happen.

I think 3 as it's the first to check out. But Hilton would change it to 5 if you ask them later.

If I have a stay from the 4th to the 10th with another stay at a different hotel from the 9th to the 11th, will I get the hotel night count for all 8 nights or just 7 nights?

With the way Marriott IT works, you will probably only get 2. In theory you should get 8 but you might need to fight for it.

Are you able to book P1 and P2? I would book the 9th under P2 and 10th as P1, and ask the hotel to merge the 2 reservations. This should avoid any issues
