I do feel that being a top tier traveler with Marriott is better than a top tier with Hilton. I’ve found Hilton upgrades to be much more scarce than Marriott. The Hilton family of properties due seem to be a bit more dated. There doesn’t seem to be a working “late check out” policy that’s adhered to by Hilton. And the Hilton breakfast policy for Diamonds is pretty bad. I maintain both as I’ve been a Hilton Diamond for over 11 years. And outside of this instance and a couple smaller others, I’ve been very happy with Marriott.
