Hilton is looking better

Agree 100% I just came back from a European business trip. Two Renaissance hotels and one Courtyard.
The Renaissance in AMS -- treated me like garbage -- small room on top floor with low ceiling in the old extension. This despite the hotel being empty. The LOUNGE is now closed on the weekends and they charge me for breakfast on the weekend.

Renaissance in Vienna. Service was good but no club lounge here (never had one), but the new GM has discontinued the English daily newspaper as a cost savings move (no USA today) and substituted a two page news sheet.

Starwood is looking better^^
