I peruse the threads occasionally, but Hilton has just been baffling me recently. I've been searching for reasons to stay with Hilton, and can't find many. I've been Diamond with them for a couple years, and I stay at a Marriott and get rock star service at a Fairfield with an upgrade, and I'm just another guy at Hilton. I'm particularly confused why at some Hilton properties, I'm forced into the Exec Lounge for breakfast where they often have empty serving plates and lots of traffic. Even when I ask for the regular restaurant (that I would get to go to as Gold, I can't get it included.) I don't get it.
