I can confirm that Diamonds get the full breakfast buffet at Ballaro Restaurant on the 6th floor with an extensive selection of hot dishes, made-to-order eggs and barista coffee. Breakfast in the Executive Lounge is decent, a limited made-to-order egg selection is also offered. Overall a very nice spread and one of the better Exec Lounge breakfasts I have seen.

Hilton at Easton (Columbus, OH USA)

Hotel currently under renovation. Lobby restaurant/bar is closed, as is 7th floor Executive Lounge, but the hotel has repurposed the attached Easton Sports Bar to a breakfast buffet during morning hours.
Buffet included usual continental fare, as well as bacon, sausage, eggs and a waffle and made to order omelette bar.

Both hotels offered lounge access with a basic breakfast.
Restaurant breakfast may have been available as an option, but I did not try that.

Selection from a special portion of the menu that includes coffee and juice, plus a light meal. On the weekend there was a full breakfast buffet with different meats, eggs, fruit, and pastries.
$20 credit could be applied to anything ordered off the menu and custom made. These options appeared quite expensive.

All,
Because the wiki had become extremely long & unwieldy, I just completed a major overhaul to make it easier to navigate. The list of properties is now subdivided into regions, with internal links to each country. In the case of the US and Canada, there are also links to each state/province/territory. Basically, the idea is to get you where you want to be in 1 click vs. having to scroll endlessly.
In doing so, I fixed a few errors (Oklahoma before Ohio) and made some judgment calls on categorizing countries into regions. However, I did not modify any of the listings other than to add formatting for clarity.
I undoubtedly made errors in this fairly involved undertaking; for example, France & Puerto Rico both disappeared owing to cut/paste errors, but I caught both & restored them. If you find similar mistakes (typos, broken links, duplicate entries, etc.), feel free to PM me if you're not comfortable fixing them yourself. For larger thematic objections--e.g., over the region names or divisions--you're welcome to raise those in the thread, subject to the mods' wish to keep the thread from getting bogged down in meta-discussion.
I hope you find the changes useful. I'd also appreciate input on other possible enhancements; for example, I'm thinking of editing very long individual entries--such as those for the UK, California, and Florida--to bold the location name & then alphabetize strictly according to that term (as opposed to the jumbled lists we have now).

Hilton Panama City - Gold - Breakfast in Executive Lounge (Intermediate)
Guatemala City, Hilton Garden Inn - Gold - Dissapointed no complimentary breakfast was available, the only option was to pay for breakfast in the restaurant.

Gold -- offered 2 coupons per night for full buffet in Andiamo hotel restaurant.
This is okay, except, this month (12/2016) the restaurant is in a ballroom while renovation is underway. Breakfast buffet is okay, but a bit limited.

I updated the wiki with my recent experiences, restored the shortcut to Japan which was missed, and removed some closed UK hotels.
For the UK, I suggest to separate out London and Scotland hotels from the rest of the list which can stay as it is.

DoubleTree by Hilton Campbell Pruneyard Plaza (California)
Stayed in October as a Diamond
Continental breakfast (with oatmeal) in the restaurant (no lounge)
Could upgrade to hot breakfast (looked like 4 items) for upcharge - can't remember exactly, somewhere around $4
The continental breakfast was excellent and included locally made jams of many interesting flavors.
