'Day use' rate – does this count as a 'stay'?

[ChrisFlyer]

I've read through the HH T&Cs, and couldn't find any exclusions for (or mention of) 'day use' rates.

They seem to qualify for HH base points, but does anyone have any experience in having such a visit count as a 'stay' with HHonors (for status purposes)?

I'm guessing that they may not contribute to the running 'nights' total, though I'm not really concerned by that.

If anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated!

I have had a day stay at Hilton LAX post as a qualifying stay ( also with base points plus Diamond bonus etc).

As a gold/ diamond, if you got in at 9am would you get free breakfast?

As Diamond, you could access the Exec Lounge on any room type, so if you went there after check-in, then I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

As to Gold, you could always try – citing that you had 'just checked in'... unless you're in an Exec room (as above) of course!

I won't be able to try for you Frogger – I won't arrive until 11 or 12... just thought it'd be nice to have somewhere private to prep and freshen up before a meeting in MEL.

Can day rates be booked online or do you have to ring up/email hotel direct? I've never seen them really advertised before.

Sorry to hijack, but would this be the same at Starwood properties?

You can book them online....just enter the same arrival and departure date....but not sure that all hotels offer the day rate.

Not all hotels offer a day rate. Book on line as per Mollycrams suggestion and see the result. Sometimes the same price (or more) than a full day and night stay, sometimes just not available. Each day-use stay I've had has awarded base points, bonus points, nights and stays. Sometimes you can be lucky!

I personally don't usually look for day rates as they're too much effort (YMMV).

As a Diamond I was told I could have breakfast that morning when I was checking in to Pattaya Hilton at 9:30am.
