I essentially agree with everything said above--except that I was greeted by a very nice hostess. My 8th floor room was exceptional, although I have no use for a jacuzzi tub. Generally speaking, this is one of the finest hilton properties in Seattle. The breakfast IS ridiculous, but I was so happy with the bar I was able to overlook it.

The one detail I appreciated is the relatively unusual variety of minibar snacks--not your everyday M&Ms etc. much nicer selection--presented in a basket. I have to admit, as a diamond, at first glance I mistook the minibar basket for a diamond comp as I've received similar gift baskets in England (1/2 bottle of wine and snacks).

In total, a bit of a mixed experience. I'll go back due to the excellent location and high quality of the room, but will change my preferences to 1000 bonus points instead of breakfast at this location.
