But overall, a very disappointing announcement.
Indeed and since this new policy is suppose to start in July, Hilton might make adjustments base on feedback.

I am glad they announced this now because I was considering doing the buy points 320,000 bonus they have and getting free breakfast is always a consideration when booking but darn, they really don't like their customers.
Hopefully, Marriott and Hyatt will not be taking any lessons from Hilton...

Did you see my post about the email from Hilton's CEO?

I doubt it. I think this is just another way for the hotels to make some money now that the US economy is starting to open up.

I look forward to seeing how many properties begin selling a $15 Bud Light or $15 drip coffee as the only available F&B options.
lol!
