With the old reward categories, a few Hamptons were Premium (top) level -- one in Mississippi even got mentioned in a WSJ article, IIRC. AFTER that article was published, Hilton claimed that the Premium rating was an error, and it was changed. Basically, as I said in another thread, it is my belief that the Premium ranking was not an error. Instead, I think that the property's owner thought that he/she would get more money from selling empty rooms on Priceline or other opaque channels than from Hilton's reimbursement, so he/she got the property rated at such a high level relative to the rack rate that no rational person would have ever used points to stay there.
