Offer only valid on room rate and room charges.
Offer not valid for stays that are paid for before or after the promotion start and end dates.

Our Verdict

Despite what the fine print states, generally any purchase made at the front desk will work (including things like gift card purchases and other purchases that have been charged to the room). In addition it says that advance purchase won’t work, but if you have a booking that is after 6/30/18 normally you can contact the front desk ahead of time and get them to charge your card and it will also trigger the offer. Obviously no guarantee that any of that will work this time, but it has all worked on similar offers in the past. Hilton deals get better when you stack them, so try these other deals as well:

When you start stacking deals like this, it makes Hilton a much more attractive option.
