This is one of the two things I dislike about Hilton:
1, free continental breakfast VS free breakfast; and
2, ever decrease number of properties with Executive lounge, or those with lounges degrade its own offering to make it worse than a staff canteen.
I hope Hilton can come up with something to make sure any hotel carry Hilton brand should have a reputable executive lounge. Hotels that does not have a lounge should use brands like Curio or Doubletree.
