- However, there is a good chance that a cheap airport hotel would have a mediocre breakfast. This Aug I did stay one night in Courtyard Dulles Airport Herndon on a rate that included breakfast. I was given a brown bag with a small (100 ml?) apple juice, small prepackaged muffin of the cheapest supermarket kind, and a banana. I was also told to prepare coffee in my room using the coffeemaker there. But Westin Hilton Head provided nice hot breakfast at the restaurant and so was Westin Cozumel.
Coming back to the initial question, I would probably do a mattress run of a few nights to get PLT but not for the 5 suite rewards. I am lifetime Titanium with 74 nights right now and 3 more nights booked with Sheraton till the year end. Rest 7 nights are with Hilton because they still run a promotion.
