As usual, different hotels seem to be interpreting whatever new "recommended policy" went out differently, and we have never been guaranteed "the big mix" - Club Level room, Club Lounge access, in-room amenities and free brekkies being among them.

Nonetheless, what a hotel will do for me (understanding such variables as property occupancy rate, special events, etc. do affect what the hotel can offer as a courtesy,) will determine on whether I give it any repeat business; and if it becomes the norm that HH Diamonds get what Golds have received in the past (and maybe Golds get less?) I will again begin looking very seriously at other hotel programs to affiliate with.
