Free breakfest only for gold and diamond at HGI, the breakfest is a lot better than HI because it is supposed to be charged $10.95 ? for silver and no status guest, while HI breakfest is free for all.
I have never been to any HGI only gives you cold item for the breakfest coupon, and pay extra for hot items, all of them saying you get the complimentary American breakfest buffet. You sound like you are talking about Hilton instead of HGI, or either you haven't stay in a HGI for a very long time.
In fact, it is stated in the Hilton.com membership level for the benefits.
