Opportunity/Executive/Select, etc.
How is it decided what point level a particular Hilton property requires. I understand about yield management and all, but in some cities, Hamptons are Select and the downtown Hiltons are Executive. It makes no sense. There is definitely not an extremely strong correlation between point level rating and intrinsic quality. I understand that at the highest catagories but that still doesn't explain a Hampton costing more points than a Hilton or a Doubletree.</font>
I agree. It occurred to me that some properties may want to discourage use of awards by participating at a higher level than warranted by their quality.
