At Homewoods, you get a full kitchen. Most rooms are suites, some 2BR, some Jr suites (missing the wall between the living room and bedroom). Newer concept equals newer properties. I don't imagine many are only cat 2. The concept is geared toward the guest who is staying a week or more.
Hamptons are more diverse. Some have outside room entrances. Some have suites. They are the closest thing Hilton has to a budget property. They have gone through a chain upgrade recently with improved bedding, hot breakfast, lap desk, breakfast bag to go, etc. Cat 2 is probably typical but some are opportunity level and some can go as high as cat 4 or 5. I think it depends on location more than anything.
The breakfast at both is the same.
