Can you book single nights in Hilton, for example Hilton Kings'Land?

I have never looked into Hilton for us. What is a single night at Kings'Land, 2 bedroom going to cost, sometime mid-August?

Wyndham has a minimum of 2-3 nights per stay, depending on the resort.

I know Marriott allows single nights.

Cash or points? There is a 2 night minimum for OS at KL or 3 night with points. Are you talking about booking via Hilton. com or OS? The prices will depend on the room and are are in the guide that is in the sticky.

I know for a fact one or more of the NY properties can be booked for a single night (but they have a hefty cleaning fee) and I believe DC and Boston also?

yes, some of the Hilton Club properties do but not cash..only points. OS in bHC is for bHC owners.
 
Noticed this when I pulled up the OS tables...kind of funny. Didn't know that Scotland was an Asian resort...:)

Seems that one night at Kings'Land would be costly, if there is a minimum number of nights + cleaning fees.

Hotel it is! I will let my guest know. She has a full night without a hotel between stays on Maui and the Big Island.

I added the table to my other post so you can see the amounts but it is a 2 night minimum for cash (OS) and can only book 30 or less nights out. If you only need one night, then a hotel may be better and use the HH discount plus get the Hilton card extra points...if you have one of them.

Plus, only the owner can check in when using OS. You can't get a guest cert.

Only W. 57th has the cleaning fee, AFAIK, And it is 1 night minimum for all, I believe, bHC properties.

Cheers.

for points though...right? I don't believe non-bHC owners can book OS in bHC.

This piqued my curiosity. As a bHC owner at W. 57th, I wanted to see what I could book for OS in NYC. I could book W. 57th, of course, and for as little as one night.

Residences and Quin indicated "ownership required to book Open Season." Not too surprising. But Central was allowing me to book, without ownership. Either they are intentionally making that one available, or it's a glitch.

Looking at District in DC, points available (as few as one night), but also requires ownership for OS. So, Central seems an outlier, at least for me as W. 58th owner.

Cheers.

I believe they changed the rules on OS to allow guest certificates this year. There's a separate thread on that subject somewhere.

Edited to add the portion of the Club Rules addressing this:

Open Season rental reservations are available to Members, or a Member’s guest traveling on a Guest Certificate, for their personal use only.

Here's what it says in the Club Rules on OS:

The Open Season Reservation Window for West 57th Street, a Hilton Club, The Residences a Hilton Club, The District, a Hilton Club, The Central at 5th, a Hilton Club, and The Quin, a Hilton Club are limited to the owners at each respective resort, and the two-night minimum booking does not apply. Notwithstanding the forgoing, HGVClub may permit persons who are owners at “Hilton Club properties” the opportunity to utilize Open Season rental rates to maximize occupancy levels at those properties for the benefit of both HGVClub and the respective properties.
The Open Season Reservation Window for penthouse accommodations at Grand Waikikian, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Grand Islander, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club is limited to owners of penthouse units at each respective resort and the two-night minimum booking does not apply.

The Central isn't fully sold, so they must be allowing OS bookings there. It might also go beyond owners at bHC properties despite the limitation in the rules - I believe they had that allowance in previous versions.

Edited to add the provision for Grand Waikikian and Grand Islander penthouses for completeness.

I don't remember that change. I will have to experiment and see if it will let me add one.

All of the NYC and DC properties - there aren't any HGVC properties in Boston.

The W 57 cleaning fee is for stays of three days or less. It's imposed by the HOA and is based on there not being daily service there. I understand it doesn't apply to the PH units, which do get daily service.

The 1 night minimum is limited to the NYC and DC bHC properties. It's implemented in the Club Rules by the OS Rules I quoted in post # 12 and by these bullets in the Club Rules section on Club Reservations:

  • The Club Reservation Window for West 57th Street, a Hilton Club, begins 59 days prior to the check-out date and the three-night minimum booking does not apply.
  • The Club Reservation Window for The Central at 5th, a Hilton Club, The Residences, a Hilton Club, The District, a Hilton Club and The Quin, a Hilton Club begins 89 days prior to the check-out date, and the three-night minimum booking does not apply.

The 1 night minimum doesn't extend to the other unlisted bHC resorts (e.g., Elara, La Pacifica, Liberty Place Charleston, Odawara, Sesoko).

HVC Ka'anapali Beach has a 2-night minimum and is running a discount for August right now. Not a lot of availability, but there's a couple of 1 BRs for August 20-22 for 1,270 and 970 points right now. There's also a 1 BR deluxe for 2,300 for August 19-21. If it's the 20th of August you're looking for you could be in luck!

WorldMark does not have that limit. There is a limit that's a bit more complicated depending on if it's a weekend stay and if both Friday and Saturday nights are available. There is fair availability in a 2 BR Queen at Kihei in August.
