(ROCKWALL,TX – Jan. 26, 2016) On Dec. 25, 2015 the neighboring community of Rowlett was hit by a devastating EF4 tornado leaving 1,100 homes uninhabitable and many businesses affected. Two Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront team members and several other Rowlett residents were affected and left without power for multiple days. Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront was fortunate enough to narrowly escape the tornado’s path.
The Rockwall ISD designated Jan. 29 as “Relief Day for Rowlett” where the community will aid the citizens of Rowlett. On this day, Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront will donate 100 percent of all occupied room revenue (before taxes) to this cause. All of the front of the house Guest Service team will also be wearing the “Relief for Rowlett” t-shirts that the hotel has purchased as a sign of support for the community.
The total donation will be presented by the hotel on behalf of its team members, guests and ownership at halftime at the Rowlett High School basketball game on Feb. 2 against Rockwall High School.
Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront would like to encourage anyone who wishes to enjoy a beautiful Friday evening watching the sun set over Lake Ray Hubbard to book a room for a special rate of $129 on Jan. 29.
Reservations can be booked by visiting dallasrockwall.hilton.com and using the Group Code “RFR”. For more information about Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront, visit dallasrockwallhilton.com.
