Hi,

Not sure if it's due to the devaluation of HHonors giving status out like sweets, but my last few stays at Hilton hotels and DT hotels (for Hampton Inn's I don't expect anything), it has been short of nothing but dissapointment.

Yes, most of them are in Europe, so I am mainly greeted as a Diamond member, but other than that - it has been nothing special compared to Gold - no room upgrade (I don't consider being 'upgraded' to the Executive floor an upgrade).
Amenities are just 2 bottles of water and nothing more than that.

I am not sure if I should keep my status or just let it drop back to Gold. On the other hand, as Europe base, I don't have much options.

Furthermore, as a usual Marriott hotel group user - I find Hiltons to be very basic and just not really worth the value as compared to Marriott's or Renaissance properties. Even in Asia - the Hilton's don't give a view of luxury.

Cheers!
