Dilution of benefits? New properties don't have lounges...
I've got an upcoming stay at the new Hilton Orrington in Evansville, IL (Northwestern University). Wanting to set my MyWay preferences correctly, I called to see if they had a lounge.
Nope.
A brand new Hilton property, a Hilton brand, and they don't put in a lounge?
What point does Diamond status HAVE anymore if they're not going to put lounges in newly built/renovated properties?
