In my experience, you are very lucky if you can find an edible banana at a Hampton, and you are even luckier if you can find an apple that isn't a basic "Red Delicious" or "Granny Smith" there.

At this point, I've taken to simply bringing my own fruits and beverages to breakfast, and hoping that the oatmeal is warm or that the cereal offerings aren't too sugary and that the milk is cold.

I've never been to a HGI that has had a parking charge (although I'm aware that a few such properties exist), and in newer or refurbished properties, they've ditched the air bed and gone with an innerspring one that is very similar to what Hampton offers.

That all said, I like your assessments.

Does anyone know where you can find the year of construction or last refurbishment of any particular Hilton property?
