I seriously doubt that Hilton owns many, if any HGI's. Hilton almost exclusively franchises hotels.
This is my sentiments exactly. I only occasionally get upgraded at HGI, but as has been stated multiple times, it is not a benefit so its a complete waste of time to get riled up about not getting an upgrade there. Travel is stressful enough to get upset about stuff you have no reason to get upset about.
