"Hilton Hotels Refusing Rooms to DHS Officers".
Homeland Security used an X post Monday to say that Hilton Hotels are denying rooms to Department of Homeland Security officers in the Minneapolis area.
Since this story first appeared, the franchisee and the main corporation have tripped over themselves trying to undo the pr damage of this dumb move.
Hmmmm .... as per Nick Sortor on X, said franchisee and the corporation are lying.

Quelle surprise!
It seems that Hilton Corporation terminated the franchise, as the franchisee lied to Hilton.

I'm not sure how much pain this inflicts on the now ex-franchisee, but it's still good to see.
Good, gotta make it painful
ReplyDeleteHilton responded quickly and the folks who owned that franchise are boned.
It just went hugely down in value, and I doubt any other big name wants to be involved so going to Marriot won't work either. They'd have to hope Holiday Inn is desperate.
Let our fine betters know we're sick of them treating us like garbage.
Bud Light 'em!
ReplyDeleteI read the early conflicting reports, but what I get from it is that Hilton told their franchisees (four Indians or Pakistanis, I think) to knock it off, and when they didn’t, Hilton terminated their franchise. All that means, as far as I can tell, is that they’re still a viable hotel, but not part of the Hilton conglomerate anymore.
ReplyDeleteI bet they'll have to settle for being a Motel Five - not even a Six, a lousy Five.
