Yes, I agree with most of what's been said above.

Marriott, in general, is a better choice, at least for me.

The Hilton point devaluation, and a few other issues has keep me from obtaining HHonors higher level elite status, and everyone, or nearly so is an HHonors Gold. At Marriott, that's not so.

And, of course, this is the Mariott forum!
