No extra water. No extra smile. No slap and tickle in the utility closet with the housekeeper. I can't say I noticed a difference in treatment by the properties where I stay, but Gold was just a place I visited between Silver and Diamond. The difference seems to be with Hilton; the Diamond desk, the guaranteed reservation, the extra bonus points, the "Diamond Force" for awards.
