I believe Hilton has for years now permitted its ostensibly all-suite properties to incorporate some studio rooms, presumably to be offered as connecting rooms to the otherwise "standard" suites. Of course, these hotels also rent the studios alone at lower rates when occupancy permits.

But this new Embassay Suites property seems to go too far, as none of the rooms appear to be proper suites, or even particularly spacious. I don't understand the logic behind the branding in this case.
