Las Vegas resident Ryan Pulliam had a great time during his Fourth of July weekend getaway, soaking up the sun on a California beach with his 4-year-old son, Reid.
But the state of their room at the Hotel del Coronado, a Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. beach resort, could be disappointing at times, he said.
Hilton recently changed its housekeeping policy to an opt-in model, which meant that for the latter part of his stay Pulliam would return to a room with no clean towels, a disheveled bed and sandy floors. He had requested housekeeping the second day of the trip but canceled the request later that day so his son could take a nap undisturbed.

Baby Del, Coronado s 134-year-old Victorian, seeks $24 million Jack Flemming
One of San Diego County’s finest examples of Victorian architecture is up for grabs on the resort peninsula of Coronado, where the 134-year-old Baby Del just hit the market for $24 million.
The 19
th-century residence is built in the same style as, and sits a few blocks away from, the famous Hotel del Coronado, a historic beach resort that claims the title of the second-largest wooden structure in the country.
The Queen Anne Victorian was built by Harriett Livingston in 1887, a year before the Hotel del Coronado was erected. It was located in San Diego’s Sherman Heights neighborhood until 1983, when architect Christopher Mortenson scooped it up and moved it by truck and barge to its current spot near the beach in Coronado.
