Same here, @momofboiler1. DH’s 17 years of 100% corporate travel have gifted us with enough hotel and other points/status to make travel (when we infrequently do it) pretty painless. We also have to stay in Hilton properties and are treated extremely well even when not using points. DH always calls Hilton to book through an agent rather than online as he knows what and how to ask for the best deal. And, when we check in, the front desk will almost always find an upgrade for us if available.
I posted our best hotel story on the Are You Loyal to a Hotel Brand thread that DS and DIL just happened to choose a Hilton boutique property for their wedding. When DH realized it (we weren’t paying for the wedding), he called the hotel and was able to get them the Presidential Suite for the entire weekend free, and the hotel comped our room as well. Also, the events manager used DH’s status to apply a discount to the catering bill. The hotel also spontaneously closed their rooftop bar to the wedding party/family/friends the night before when DH approached the manager and offered to open an unlimited tab until closing time. (I don’t think the hotel made out on that deal.)
So, Hilton all the way.
ETA: This is why we’ve never been able to make VRBO or AirBnB work for us; they’re never less than Hilton (and I don’t plan to cook or do laundry when I’m traveling/vacationing).
