NO privacy at Hilton properties (none / 0) (#6)
by Anonymous User on Thu Jun 24, 2004 at 10:50:09 PM PDT

And when you stay with them they also consider your personal life theirs to fully delve into, including your luggage.  Earlier this year I stayed 3 wks at a Hampton Inn on business.  As I'm HIV positive I take several medications.  Prior to leaving the hotel each morning I stashed the pill bottles back in the bottom of my suitcase underneath clothes and put it back into the closet.  The rest of my clothes were in the dresser.  There was no other indication of my "condition."

2 wks after I returned home I received a package with the hotel return address containing 2 religious books something like "Hope for the homosexual with AIDS" etc.  There was no note or anything written inside.  The hotel claimed they knew nothing about this.  Obviously someone had gone through my closed luggage, knew or researched what the medications were, and made their own judgements about how I contracted this virus (wrong).  Now per Hilton's privacy policy/usage agreement I guess the entire world knows.
