Conclusion
Most hotel chains have or continue to offer rate plans for frontline employees during this difficult time.
I came across this most recently at the Hilton Tallinn, where they had the monitors inside the hotel promoting it.
Most hotels have this rate plan loaded for stays through the end of 2020 and some through 2021. It could be that hotels that don’t have it available for 2021 will in due course.
