YMMV. And there ar some properties that are just obstinate and say "we don't participate in HHonors." It is best to avoid the latter properties entirely, imho.
Luckily for me, I have never stayed at any HHonors property that gave only a "dismal offering" for breakfast.
Also note that the breakfast offerings for elites vary per chain, so a re-read of the HHonors website is in order. (Of course, some chains, such as Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, and Homewood Suites, already include buffet breakfast in ALL room rates; of these three, ES's buffet is generally the best, Homewood second, Hampton third.)
