I guess it all depends on the properties that you will be staying. The full serviced Hiltons usually treat the Diamonds pretty well...but according to some of the posts here...there are dissappointments. As a Diamond, I have been upgraded most of the time when I stayed at Doubletrees. Mostly I stay at Hamptons...the "Hampton Touch" is not something to be proud off. Interesting enough, I am thinking to stay at Sheartons more this year.
We'll see how it goes this year.
