I just wanted to note that the hotel is compensated for award stays by Hilton Honors. I believe the amount of compensation depends on how full the hotel is each night of an award stay: when the occupancy rate is low, the hotel is minimally compensated (since the rooms would otherwise be vacant), and when the occupancy rate is above a threshold, the hotel receives reimbursement based on average room charges for the night, if I recall correctly.
