Then the question is whats the difference bet a DT and reg Hilton? This I havent figured out yet.

A few yrs ago Hilton purchased Promus Corp which was made up of Hampton, Embassy Suites and DT. There the distinction was easy to see. I think Hil still hasnt figured itself out since that purchase, and thats why they still have all this rebranding going on and no clear distinction bet their brands.
