HGIs are generally my first choice unless I know that a particular Hilton in the same area is good. HGI is the most consistent and reliable of all of the Hilton brands, and usually the best value. The mix of in-room and hotel amenities, the breakfast (free for Diamonds), and quality of service is a combination that really works for me for both business and pleasure. It does not feel like a discount hotel, but it is not unusual to find it cheaper than nearby Hamptons.
