Good value cricket redemptions at Old Trafford with Hilton Honors

As you can see from the picture below, the Hilton Garden Inn hotel at Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester occupies a unique position.

Many of the rooms directly overlook the pitch, allowing you to watch a game from your balcony.

This allows Hilton to offer some unique cricket redemptions to Hilton Honors members, both in the hotel itself and other parts of the stadium
