Making Hilton Brand Stays Cooler

Ever get stuck in a hotel room where the thermostat just won’t go cold enough for you? I’ve been there too, once the thermostat wouldn’t go below 75 on a hot summer day. I’m here to help.

Next time you are in this situation at a Hilton brand hotel give this a try.

While holding down “display”
Press “off”
Then Press “Up” arrow
Release “display” button

If the screen shows “VIP” you are in! This will enter the VIP mode which turns off the motion sensor, and allows a lower range of the thermostat so you can get the room as cold as your heart desires. This only works for INNCOM thermostats.

Hilton has had this promotion out since mid-April and has been discussed in detail over at flyertalk. You will earn 1000 bonus points per night at participating Hilton hotels, but you must hurry, this promotion ends June 30th. I started using this promotion once I had accumulated my target amount of free nights at SPG. A good way to earn points to use at some of the new Hilton properties.
