It's really too bad they did this, I liked the Hilton Garden Inn in NYC and will probably still use it for those times I can't get a decent rate at the Grand Hyatt NYC, but no longer very interested in achieving Diamond with Hilton. Next year a Hyatt Place opens in Garden City - where one of my salespeople lives, I love that area and I'll probably be staying there a lot. Spent about $15K at Hilton this year, we'll see how much next year will be.
