Traveling for business and found a cockroach in my hotel room at a Hilton hotel. What points should I be asking for? What points have you got in the past from something like this?

Personally, I would ask for the hotel to be burned down

Depends on if you are planning on keeping the cockroach. Is your status high enough that you get one for free every day?

For real though: Marriott’s daily bed bug allowance is unmatched.

I do not have a good experience with Hilton. In Myrtle Beach I requested to change a room due to the terrible smell (it smelled like a wet dog combined with mold and chemicals). My next room was worse: needless, durty dipers and chicken bones (at least it looked like)... We went to another hotel, and ended up paying double, because it was impossible to book anything at decent prices...

In Miami area I went to grub a coffee with my husband around 7:30 am, and when we were back to Hilton around 8:15 am our staff was gone and house keeper was on the middle of cleaning 😑, and she said that she must prepare a room for the next guest. We did not check out.... Manager could not say anything except: "we can offer you another room till check out time".... Really?

I am trying to avoid Hilton at any cost...

I never had a problem with Hyatt or Marriott

Was it alive? What climate?

I’m someone who doesn’t tip much but even I wouldn’t ask for 10000 points…maybe I should tho good idea. But I would def be more aggressive if it was a personal trip versus business

Was given points equivalent to 1 night stay at hyatt

That was a 1x experience at a dumpy airport hotel. Love hyatt. Incredible loyalty program, albeit smaller footprint.

I’ve gotten around 50k points for a bad roach problem (multiple, changed hotels)

Venting only! :)

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB.

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
