Hotel Question

Hi All,

I've got a single occupancy room booked in a 'double plus room' at the Hilton Leeds in a couple of weeks. Its' non refundable and non changeable and is for 4 nights.

My dear girlfriend has now decided she'd like to come along for the first night with me. Anyone know if this will be a problem? Obviously i'm not expecting to get free breakfast for her or anything but just wondered if we'll have to pay extra for her to stay,

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

    One question is how would they know?!
    Is the price for a double occupancy room the same as a single?

    Certainly in hotels such as travelodge where you pay for the room I've quite often booked for 1 adult, then had my girlfriend stay over with me.

    at time of booking the rate will say pppn or per room, if per room then its fine

    The Hilton offer different rates, depending on whether you want to book a room or a room plus meals. I believe the room rate stays the same regardless of occupancy but meals are per person.

    Assuming your girlfriend doesn't want to eat breakfast with you, there shouldn't be anything else to pay. If she does, I think it's around £13? Well worth it though - nothing beats a Hilton fry up!
  • Heck, even if you have room service for 2, there's always the possibility she is just stopping by.

    Don't worry yourself about it. They will not bother you with question. If you want to be extra precautios, use the car park attached to it, you get the room keys etc and call ahead and get your gf to meet you at the room. *Lol* Seriously though, not needed.

    Have a nice stay, it's a pretty nice hotel.
