How long does Hilton honors usually take to respond to a complaint ? They emailed me that they received my complaint, and will contact hotel etc. to work on it, but no response for 3 weeks already.
Update: I finally got a response, and the wait was well worth it. I got 1 free night certificate, at any Waldorf Astoria property.
Life is as good as you make it...

When it comes to SPG hotels is it better to complain to the manager of the hotel or to SPG itself? Which one is more generous?
i complained to spg. then they contacted the manager of the hotel and got a nice compensation from him :)

I was able to get another 2k form their social media center by tweeting to them about this. total of 6k = not too bad.

Hotel: Sheraton Atlantic City- 2 rooms
Year of incident: 2015
Status at time of incident: platinum
Incident: club lounge closed with no warning from the hotel when booking
I filled out the survey and no one got back to me 2 weeks later I called SPG platinum and they said someone would get back to me. 30 min later I got a call from the hotel and they offered me 1k spg points. I told her that was not enough especially since I had 2 rooms and she said shell get back to me. Still haven't heard back. will update
