Do you mean DoubleTree? That's the only Hilton brand participating so far.

For many it isn't really worth it. I find value in it b/c I live downtown, and am constantly walking around past several TopGuest hotels. The only time I ever really spend is in the winter when slowing down a touch to take off a glove to work my phone. Beyond that, it takes no more than an additional five seconds over not doing it and just walking by. I've gotten to the point where I'm in a conversation with someone walking past a hotel and can check in without breaking the conversation.
