I love these kind of deals!
Yes, Jeff050, please do come back here. I would think not, but share your hope.

To the comment re the Doubletree, I've had hotels in the Hilton family break the rule a few times when an airline was putting me up due to an IRROPS misconnect. Don't know if it was because I was a Diamond/Gold. Anyway, the small points involved were a nice way of expressing that "loyalty is a two-way street".
