Saint John Hillton hotel

[daw147 184]

Does anyone know their way around the Hillton hotel in Saint John. Was wondering if there is a way to get to the elevators that does not require passing through the main lobby.

Not 100% sure, you might be able to get to the elevators from the parking garage which is underground.

Yes That is one way I have used to get around the elevator situation, time tested and true! Just be sure your lady friend knows about this in advance;)

take the elevator across from the restaurant...come in from the parking garage

Hi,I was tossing this around in my head and I bet if you approached it from a fire exit perspective that they would print off a floor plan for you because you may be concerned about elevator failure and so on and no one would be the wiser.Just a thought? Have a great day!

Not to be a butinski but I can't help but wonder just what is wrong with blowing though the lobby like you are on a mission to get to your room and absolutely belong there? (because of course whether you are the lady or her client you do have business there and do belong there). Am I missing something? Sneaking past (avoiding) the lobby could make you look less like you belong there on video surveillance, couldn't it?

 

I recently visited a lady at her hotel suite and this hotel charges everyone for parking except guests who are staying there and as it turns out I was staying there and didn't even know it :)

 

Sorry. Just asking? Curious minds want to know.

I think they are referring to not being able to use elevator in the lobby past 10:00 pm.You need a room key??? The hotel guest has to escort you to your room. I may be wrong but I seem to think it was something like that.

I rarely have meeting that enter past 10:00pm, so I may be out of the loop?

Ah... Thanks Sophia. Well then in this case trying find an alternate route to bypass this kind of security is the worst thing I can think of doing (video surveillance is everywhere).

 

Most hotels give me two key cards even if I don't ask so if I was staying in such a place, no problem to hop outside like I'm a smoker, very discreetly pass on the extra key card and room number to the visitor (in exchange for a fee envelope in the SP has the room case) and then do the mission through the lobby at slightly different times so no one can connect the dots on video. Oh, but what if I do that and the lady I gave the card to doesn't come calling? Just go to the desk and tell them you lost your key card; as soon as a new one is used the index number in the lock is incremented invalidating all previous cards.

Ya, I just do not bother booking there, lol...hahaha. But also, I usually accept appt last call is 10:00 to enter my room. I am an early bird, hehe

Why is any one worried about walking through the lobby to the elevators at the Hilton?

 

Id feel more comfortable coming in that way as in case you did not notice there are cameras on every floor(even in the lower lobby by the parking garage) and outside the elevators, plus hotel security. The cameras are watched at the front desk so no matter how secret agent you think your being, you are being watched.

 

Look like you belong, and pick company that can dress like a lady and you will never have any problems.

Very well said miss Rushton

I was more worried of looking out of place while trying to find the elevators since I had never been to that hotel before.

 

Thanks for letting me know about the access from the under ground parking. I also found that you can walk through an underground walkway as well.

 

Cameras--the only ones I saw were in the parking garage. None on the elevator and none on the floors.

You could always text/phone the lady to ask her where the elevators are, prior to arriving. But really, it's only when you make yourself look out of place that you draw attention to yourself...hotel staff must see hundreds of people every day, just blend in. People are expected to be coming and going in hotels, it's nothing sinister

If the elevators are not in plain view this is exactly what I do (I give them a reference point) when giving out my suite number a few minutes before they enter the hotel for our a rendez-vous. Gentlemen always appreciated it and it makes them feel more at ease.

Do keep in mind that just because you don't see the cameras does not mean they are not there, in fact looking around for them could appear suspicious in and of itself.

 

So I zoom in the lobby like I know where I am going and round the corner, and alas there are no elevators, it's the restaurant! So I study the menu, look at my watch like I am planning to come back to eat there and do a perfectly natural about face and now that I know were they aren't, I have a much better idea of where they are and find them easily like I knew all along.

 

Of course coming in through the underground parking is fine also as long as you really did park a car there and have the right to.

 

We have a camera in the elevator of one building I work in and I triple guarantee you can't see it but it can see you.

 

Also several other cameras are well disguised and then we also have cameras that are not cameras. Just so if you do scope out where you think they are, fooie on you! Something as innocent looking an an emergency light often contains a camera also. So I always "assume" I am on camera and act completely normal like I belong there (because I do belong there).

I just visited the Hilton and there wasn't even anyone at the front desk. so many people going in out I wouldn't even worry about it
