SHORT-FORM E-MAIL NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

Maulding v. Hilton Hotels Corporation is a nationwide class action lawsuit filed in
the Circuit Court of St. Clair County, Illinois, challenging resort fees charged by
eleven Hilton Resort Hotels prior to January 1, 2004. The resort fees consisted of
bundled per-night charges for resort services and amenities charged in addition to
the per-night room rate. The following hotels (hereinafter referred to as the
"Participating Hotels") are participating in the settlement: (1) The Doubletree Golf
Resort in San Diego, California; (2) The Doubletree Surfcomber in Miami, Florida;
(3) The Doubletree Guest Suites Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida; (4)
The Embassy Suites Deerfield Beach in Deerfield Beach, Florida; (5) The Hilton
Sedona Resort & Spa (previously known as the Doubletree Sedona) in Sedona, Arizona;
(6) The Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in Phoenix, Arizona; (7) The Pointe Hilton
Tapatio Clifffs Resort in Phoenix, Arizona; (8) The Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort
in Waikoloa, Hawaii; (9) The Hilton Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida; (10) The
Hilton Myrtle Beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and (11) The Hilton Palm
Springs in Palm Springs, California. Members of the class include all persons who
stayed at a Participating Hotel prior to January 1, 2004, paid a resort fee, and
either did not receive notice that the resort fee was being charged, or believe they
were misinformed about the resort fee. Excluded from the class are persons who
stayed at a Participating Hotel pursuant to a written group contract, persons
residing in Mississippi or Montana, and all current and former employees of Hilton
Hotels Corporation.

After several years of litigation, the parties in the case have reached a Settlement
Agreement. The Settlement Agreement provides that each of the Participating Hotels
will discount its resort fee, on an ongoing basis, by 75%, until it has foregone a
total of 22.5% of the total resort fee it collected prior to January 1, 2004. If the
Court approves the settlement, future lawsuits by class members against Hilton
Hotels Corporation related to the resort fee will be prohibited. St. Clair County
Circuit Court Judge Michael J. O' Malley will decide whether to approve the
settlement at a hearing in Belleville, Illinois on November 14, 2006, at 10:00 AM.
In order to remain in the class, you need to do nothing. To request exclusion from
the class, you must send a letter so stating to counsel for the class before October
16, 2006. To file an objection to the settlement, you must send a letter to counsel
for the class and the Court before October 16, 2006. You can find out more

It's 75 % off just on the resort fees no ?
