We’re seeing the major hotel groups try to get creative in order to fill rooms, given the huge drop in both business and leisure travel. Hilton has just launched one such initiative, and there’s even a pretty nice incentive to give it a try.

Id need a guarantee the wifi was worth a crap. Nothing more frustrating then getting settled in to work via VPN and the wifi is garbage.
$69 plus warm chocolate chip cookies at our local doubletree. Plus I have the Aspire - so $69 for 44x points + 10K points bonus = 13,306 points for $69 at $0.05/point?
Is my math right?
Dumb question: does this give you credit for "nights" as well or just "stays"?
If so this will mesh well with the ongoing double night credit promo, rollover nights and next year's halved night requirements to earn Diamond.
Loren - there will be some taxes in there, call it another $10. Also, 0.5 cents = $0.005. So, $79 * 44 + 10,000 = 13,476 points. I'd say the points are really worth about 0.4 to 0.45 cents on average, but let's go with 0.5 cents. 13,476 points * $0.005 = $67.38. $79-67.38 = $11.62.
Thank you Kyle! I might do this - at least some different workday scenery and let's not forget the CCC's!
Even the dedicated website mentions only US, UK and Canada, I used yesterday this Day Use rate in Germany and got the 10.000 points already to my account today.
This is great, some properties allow day-of cancellations until noon. I have a rough redeye to Florida coming up, arriving at 8am. If the Marriott property doesn't want to let us check in, I'll go to the Bahia Mar Double Tree for $93 +$12.09 in taxes, no resort fee, have a free Breakfast, earn 13,790 points ($68.95 @ 0.5cpp) + CC points + 2 nights for 2021. Most importantly, I'll have a bed to catch an hour or two and hit the ground running. With a domestic redeye, I need that bed for a quick nap or the whole day is shot.
@ BrewerSEA - Many properties have reduced breakfast hours or simply offered no breakfast right now during the pandemic, it seems this workplace rate is only valid from 9am-5pm, call ahead to find out if you will still able to get the breakfast.
I have booked myself into the Zurich Hilton recently because I had in important workshop I couldn’t do in my office because I’m in open space and couldn’t do from at home because of the poor internet in the entire area. It was a nice experience and it would not hesitate repeating it.
