I have 2 kids and our family has been sticking to the Hilton Portfolio for our travel. There are Embassy Suites and Homewood suites just about everywhere, and even Doubletree Suites at numerous places (like NYC) which is a great deal at a normal redemption rate for an all suite hotel. I believe they are the only brand that allows for booking upgraded rooms using additional points. It can come in handy if staying at a regular Hilton and still needing a suite. Also, with Gold and Diamond you get the 2 free breakfast (already included in ES and HS of course), and i have never been charged for kids under 18, but YMMV on that.
