Basically, if you are looking for free breakfast, that seems to be Hilton's focus. Even without a lounge free breakfasts are still offered.
I use my reward points for family vacations/trips which I value lounge/breakfast benefits. For biz travel, it's less issue. To make the story short, I had 25 nt stays with Hilton, 0 for Marriott. For next 1 month stay, I'll be staying at Hilton chain again. For the areas I travel, only Marriott and Hilton are my options and I'm give my biz $ to Hilton.
