The Hilton will not accept cash or check payments in person. If you are only able to pay with check, you will need to mail the check in advance early enough that it can be received and processed before you arrive to the hotel. Although the hotel is cashless, we recommend that attendees bring cash with them if they would like to tip the valet staff when picking up their car. 

If you will be arriving to the hotel with your own school issued p-card please bring a printed copy of your id, p-card, and DR-14 tax exempt form to provide upon check in. For a faster check in process, request a link with [email protected] to securely upload documents. Email must include:

  • Subject line: TAX DOC REQUEST
  • Body of email: Confirmation number(s) and name(s) of person(s) checking into the hotel

With that said, if you will be using your card to pay for additional attendees from your institution you will need to follow the process below for each person.

For those of you who will need your hotel fees paid by way of a credit card authorization please ensure that you have followed the procedures below.

Attendees who will not have the payment credit card with them at check-in/check-out must complete the Credit Card Authorization process in advance as noted below.

The credit card holder must send an email to [email protected] after the reservation has been made with the following information.

  • Subject line: SERTIFI LINK REQUEST
  • Body of email: Confirmation number(s) and name(s) of person(s) checking into the hotel
  • Attach copy of photo ID for person whose name is on credit card and the DR-14 tax exempt form if applicable. It should be noted that if your p-card has your tax exempt ID number listed on it, the Hilton will still require a copy of the certificate itself.

Once the above email has been sent, the credit card holder will be emailed the link to an electronic credit card authorization form to be submitted for each attendee.
