Do note that for CCS, their basic room, business room and executive room are exactly the same with the exception of a coffee machine in business and executive room.
As for breakfast, regardless of which room I'm staying, I'll just walk in to Oscar's and have my breakfast there. It can pretty crowded but the spread is the best and I found out last month that they've added a froyo machine too.
Thanks for the comparison ! Never experienced an "upsale" at Hilton desk before. Also on my previous stays I note the use of coffee machine is not free, they charge by capsule.
