It seems there's no end to the ridiculous things people will sue over these days. There was the alcoholic who drunkenly fell down the stairs and then sued the hotel for over-serving him, the guy who got electrocuted while trying to sneak onto an ...Save $400 by going to the beach ... I wish it were always this easy!
Jul 13th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Hilton's trying to make it as easy as possible for you to soak up the sun this summer. Its new deal in Puerto Rico will set you up with a free fourth night if you pay for three. Even better: the three nights that will cost you only start at $139 each. All in, you're saving up to $400 a trip. Resort credits are offered for golf, dining, spa treatments and other activities.
And, it keeps getting ...Hotels chains - picking the right one and how to become a loyal guest
Jul 2nd, 2009 at 10:30AM: Welcome to the Gadling hotel month! There is no better time of the year to learn more about hotels, how to pick the right hotel and how to become loyal to one chain. In today's article, I'm going to teach you as much as I can about picking the right brand and how to become (and stay) loyal to one chain. Before we continue, let me explain something really simple about the hotels: The world is made ...DST robs you of an hour of sleep - Hilton gives it back
Mar 5th, 2009 at 3:30PM: Sunday March 8th is when we have to give back the hour we gained last year when DST started. For most hotel chains, this means guests will get one hour less to enjoy the comfort of their beds, but the Hilton Garden Inn chain has taken this, and turned it into a smart opportunity for a little PR goodwill. All guests who stay at a Hilton Garden Inn this Sunday will get an additional 2 hours to ...Travel to lose 200,000+ jobs
Feb 27th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Nearly 200,000 travel-related jobs were lost in 2008. Another 247,000 are forecasted for 2009. And, the financial crisis is still developing. While we lament the loss of six- and seven-figure investment banking jobs, let's not forget what those big money gigs mean for the travel industry. Consider your average Wall Street titan. He's still pulling down more than $1 million a year (somehow). So, ...Budget Travel: Hotel deals at Hotwire
Feb 17th, 2009 at 11:30AM:
How well do you handle the unknown? If you don't have the stomach for it, avoid Hotwire. Now, if you don't mind taking a bit of risk, you can save a fortune by using this website to book your next hotel in the United States (or a limited list of international destinations). I've used Hotwire several times, and the vast majority of my experiences have been great. The one that wasn't (only one) had ...Baltimore tourism on the upswing
Jan 13th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Fellow Gadlinger Grant Martin was right. Or, at least, he's found a lot of people who agree with him. Baltimore's tourism business is on the rise. The city's tourism bureau reported that it's already passed the halfway point to its hotel booking goals for the next fiscal year. The city has a goal of 475,000 future room nights, and the bureau's sales team has already taken care of 301,800 of them. ...More ways to earn miles: Hilton offers 6x mileage bonus
Dec 4th, 2008 at 1:00PM: Mileage promotions from Delta are coming in hot and heavy, and those on the ball with some of their most recent promotions are set to make quite the killing in a pretty short time. Their latest promotion is in collaboration with Hilton's points program, HHonors. From now until the end of February, each time you spend more than two nights at a Hilton hotel they'll give you six times the miles that ...Take a shortcut to Hilton Honors Gold Status
Oct 12th, 2008 at 4:00PM: Reaching the upper tiers of any travel related rewards program almost always takes money, time, effort, money and money -- the rewards reaped should only be for the profitable consumer, right? Occasionally, however, programs release shortcuts -- ways that guaranteed high-dollar users can skip up a tier and enjoy the benefits -- so that they can lock in a particular demographic or company. And when ...
