Reply To: Hilton Gold Free Breakfast when booking via hotels.com ?

IME the reception you get in the US when you book via a 3rd party borders on verbal abuse! Due to the breakfast devaluation I only now book Homewood Suites & Hampton Inns if using US Hilton as they include breakfast in any case.
But in NYC you’ll get a cheaper breakfast outside, so factor that in when booking.
The Hilton UN Millennium used to give gold members lounge access so they could have breakfast in there – it was a very decent spread in a great setting on about the 40th floor!
