The problem of what a chain and property considers a 'standard' room isn't confined to Hilton. Check the Starwood forum for similar complaints, and recognize that Starwood doesn't even display premium room awards online. As Azepine remarked, the monetization of premium room inventory has been going on a couple of years with HHonors. (As a Diamond I do pretty well with room upgrades even on awards so I book standard and hope for the best most times.)

I post pictures via the image hosting service Photobucket on a tip given from a FlyerTalk user some years ago. It's more involved than cut-and-paste from a browser but screen images can be very helpful to explain certain points when so much of what we're doing booking travel is browser-based.

In Chrome, alt-print screen to capture the active browser window

Open Windows paint to edit

Paste image into Paint

Crop account details and distractions and generally tighten an image so it doesn't dominate the FlyerTalk pane.

Save image

Open Photobucket

Drag to upload

Click image to select

Copy the image tag (the last of the four options at right)

Paste the Photbucket image tag into FlyerTalk
