I got a FREE 5-star stay at the Hilton Hotel - but what the company did next baffled me
Luke Colson, known as @luke.is.alive_, shared his experience on TikTok, and opened the video with a short clip of a man promoting Hilton Hotels, before switching back to himself.
The content creator went on to explain that the hotel company had recreated a video he had made about a nightmare stay in San Francisco.
'Hilton saw it and they DM me on TikTok, they said 'Mr Colson, we loved your story about your terrible stay at the hotel in San Francisco.
'We'd like to recreate it, showing people that at Hilton, you can enjoy the stay a lot more.
'And we will reward you with a free stay at a Hilton hotel anywhere in the world.' And I thought, 'That's a scam,' turns out it was real.'
Luke explained how he called up Hilton and spoke to a production company who recreated his video and tale.
'So if you look at my TikTok video about my stay in the hotel in San Francisco, it's kind of like the recreation that they just did, but they cast me as that guy.'
Luke took Hilton up on their offer and booked a break away with his girlfriend.
However, what happened during the trip left him baffled.
The couple paid for the travel to Mexico City and stayed at a hotel there.
'We went to Mexico City because it was cheaper to get there and we stayed in one of their five star hotels,' Luke said.
But things took a turn during the trip and Luke claims the experience was similar to his San Francisco stay.
'Now, after I got back, I did a TikTok about the stay at the Hilton Hotel and it was equally as bad as the hotel stay that we had in San Francisco.'
He exclaimed: 'The irony, the irony of it all!'
Luke's video attracted thousands of views and 100 comments, with many seeing the funny side of his experience.
'Could only happen to you Luke lol,' someone laughed.
Another added: 'These stories are more exciting than any book I've read, the twists and turns are endless. You, Sir, make my day.'
'The story of your life and your everyday existence is all the entertainment I need,' one viewer penned.

'Hero' Oasis steward goes viral in heartwarming video at Edinburgh gig
An elderly steward has gone viral after she was spotted dancing and singing along to Oasis at Murrayfield, with fans branding her a 'hero' and calling for a pay rise Following the Ticketmaster battle that left countless Scottish fans devastated after missing out on Oasis tickets this weekend, one fortunate steward managed to enjoy the sold-out gig for nothing whilst having an absolute blast during her shift. The steward became a TikTok sensation after being filmed singing and enthusiastically swaying as the Gallagher brothers performed their classics at Murrayfield, all while holding up a sign directing concert-goers towards food, drinks and the loos. The touching footage of the elderly staff member grooving to various songs throughout the night was shared online by user beckysuthx, who captioned the clip: "Can we find out who's Nan this is working at the Oasis concert in Edinburgh?" It comes after Paul Weller reveals the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. The video has since become a viral hit with Oasis supporters praising what a 'legend' she was at the show. One supporter wrote: "Bless her. She's made my weekend! !" reports the Daily Record. Another commented: "Omg I was watching her last night and thought she was fab! ! ! She didn't stop dancing and joining in with the crowd." A third echoed: "Was a hero the whole night." Someone else exclaimed: "This is what I call class. Getting paid for it also. Brilliant." A fifth remarked: "She deserves a pay rise immediately." Somebody else added: "I saw her too and fell in love with her bopping along!". The steward isn't the only supporter to have gone online following Oasis' sold-out Murrayfield performances this weekend. Another fan, who was seen having a fantastic time, has also become an internet sensation in touching scenes that have even caught the attention of Liam Gallagher himself. The lad nearly stole the limelight during Oasis' rendition of Slide Away as he put on his own passionate performance on the pitch for those seated in the stands above him. At one point, he tosses his bucket hat to the crowds in the stands while extending his arms and spinning around. Another heartwarming moment sees him leap into the arms of another concert-goer while still singing and gesturing to the fans above him. The clip has gone viral with over 580k views and Liam Gallagher himself re-sharing the moment which he labelled as "biblical". Oasis are scheduled to play one final night in the Capital on Tuesday evening before heading to Dublin after their three-night stint at Murrayfield. Their comeback to Edinburgh this weekend marked their first performance in Scotland in over 16 years and the fans certainly showed it.

One replied: "I was there and it was full to the brim so god knows where he found a gap to live his best life in but you go lad!!!" Someone else added: "Look at all the empty space. madness."

Anyone attending on Tuesday night with standing tickets has been urged to stand to the right hand side of the stadium if they'd like to have a lot of space like the viral Oasis fan in the video. One wrote underneath the TikTok: "I was at the back to the right hand side of the stage and there was plenty of space all the way down to the front…meanwhile everyone was crammed over on the left side all the way back into the tunnel." Someone else chimed in: "I was on the right and it was amazing, could swing your arms in every direction." Oasis will play one final night at Murrayfield Stadium on Tuesday August 12.
