Been working for Embassy Suites, a part of Hilton Hotels, for a year half now. I basically check guests in/out, make reservations, and assist as a switchboard operator. But that doesn't mean I don't act as a bellman, valet, adult/child babysitter, cafe assistant and lite housekeeping. I have a love/hate feeling for this job, but deep down I love it because it's always something new each day.
That is a good question & my manager described it as this: when you book at an Embassy Suites that rate includes the larger rooms, complimentary cooked to order breakfast, complimentary drinks every night, could be the 24/7 fitness center, indoor swimming pool and such. We simply tack on the $9.95 internet as a perk i know more Hilton properties are dropping the charge will be introducing full free wifi. also I've stayed in hotels where the price is about $12.95 for 24 hours.
There may be slight differences in the check procedures and possible paper work or even the level of dedication. Location is key if I decided to leave Hilton properties because a Courtyard in Florida/New York would be different from one in Oklahoma/Kansas.
I'm sorry about that confusion. That guest would NOT be charged an extra night if he wanted to check in a few hours before normal check-in.
I have been wanting to move to France since my last trip there and starting in hotels is one of the ways to make it happen.
Now I have put in for jobs abroad (New Zealand, France, United Kingdom, etc) and I have noticed that Hilton will not nessecarily sponsor your visa. One resort in New Zealand wanted to hire me, but were not offering a paid sponsorship which hurt. First thing first, buy a passport and look into the guidelines of gaining a temporary visa.

How often do you have to fire someone, and does it ever get ugly?
Good morning :D
Well the employee rate is usually 80% less than standard rate (Home2, Homewood, Embassy, Hilton Garden, Hampton, Hilton, and Conrad) and only 50% less than the Hilton Resorts & Waldorf Astoria. Now when going outside of the USA the rates could be about 40-50% less, but I tend to stay in 2-Star hotels when abroad to fully soak in the culture.
