Thanks for breaking down each brand. I stayed at a Embassy suites last year, and it was phenomenal. Breakfast was on point. The service was amazing, and I got a really good upgrade. I might check out the LXR brand in the future.
I would of went into conparatives for each brand based off of other chains. So hilton garden being comparative to hyatt place or something like that. Curio to w3 or Westin. Some of them don't exactly have comparative that I know of Tru or home2 but if hilton grand vacations is similar to wyndamn resorts at least in the sales department then I will never go. I was traumatized to the point I'll give away my 30k points before using them
I get that for sure Woodzy, but some people have no idea of the other brands so the comparison may fall on deaf ears, and I just don’t have experience at those other properties to even compare, I think I only mentioned Embassy Suites being comparable to a Hyatt Regency, and Tru is basically a Hyatt House.
I’d rate Embassy Suites as A-tier based on my experience (particularly Virginia Beach location). Don’t forget the complimentary made-to-order breakfast and daily happy hour reception. In contrast, my experience with Hilton Resort Fort Lauderdale would be B-tier. Not bad, but not great. My wife also rates Embassy over Hilton Resort.
😂😂😂😂😂 Rose Gold is best bro! Nice to have you visit me at my amazing hotel. So many brands that I’ve never heard of though. Spark, LXR, Tempo, and some others I don’t even remember. Conrad was definitely much better than Waldorf Astoria in Vegas, don’t get me started on the gym! 😂😂😂 Excellent video Tony!!
It’s just NOT CJ! Haha. Oh for sure, only a couple I’ve never heard of and was surprised to learn about them. Ahh haha let’s goo Conrad team! Thanks CJ man as always!!
Super informative run through, thanks! I’ve been Diamond for a few years and have only stayed at 4 brands, so this helps me understand the differentiation.
Absolutely Ryan, thank you so much for saying that! I figured it’s a video that no one has done on the Internet yet, and would help have a lot of people make a decision going forward, and have it be a little bit of fun in the meantime haha.
Very accurate ranking and fun video to watch Anthony! I enjoy Embassy Suites, Hiltons and Conrad’s a lot and never had a bad experience with those. Want to stay at LXR for sure! Thanks for the info bro!🫵
Fun video Tony! I wonder what it’s really like to stay in a cube for a hotel 😅. I’m only familiar with the Waldorf when it comes to hotels, but maybe I’ll branch out once I start on the Hilton credit card ladder!
I know right?? I still find it very crazy that you really have stayed at a lot of other brands outside of Hilton. I would love to see you do a ranking of Marriott properties honestly Stan!
Wow thank you so much for this Keith! You’re the best man! And oh damn, I mean, was it more the hotel or was it just that it was in New Brunswick 😂😂😂. I hear you though, I figured it would be occasionally a miss with how old they can be at times.
For sure Mike! Thank you for saying that too, I’d love to see a video on the Curio you go to next month for sure, truthfully I think the Lexington one was a fluke, Curios have a great reputation.
Maybe I was a little harsh haha, but I also think I saw something saying they are discontinuing the program so Sparks won’t be a thing anymore? Did you see that? Thanks Louisville!! Maybe I can get to one, one of these days.
Hahaha good stuff. I've been to most of these brands. The Signia is a great hotel. I went to the one in Orlando. I'd defiput Hilton Garden inn at the bottom, most don't have free breakfast... Canopy is a great brand. ... I don't think I've seen any $90 hotels in a while hahahaha The Crockford that I stayed in in Vegas was LXR. Best Hilton by far. Conrad neck and neck with Waldyin my opinion
Hmm, maybe you should do a ranking video on the Hilton brand, I would love to see how you were and called them, and all the different footage you have at all of them. How is that a Signia in Orlando? That’s amazing that the LXR was the best so far, I really need to stay at some of them. Thanks Sledge!
@@AnthonyVenture hahaha, I agree with most of your ranking but you know it's all opinionated and we all have different experiences. Maybe I should rephrase it, the Signa is pretty good hahaha because we stayed in a Room with The Disney view. The rooms are not that large but the property is very nice. The Waldorf, JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton are very close and we've tried all of them. I want to stay in the Presidential or King Executive Suite at the Signa... They are both over 2k sq ft! But also about $900 per night hahahaha. I think I've stayed in. 4 Conrad and 4 Waldorfs and the Crockford exceeded all of those.🫡
Absolutely, all different perspectives so each ranking will look different for everyone for sure. Did it actually embody the message of health at the Signia? Haha Oh makes sense, JW are very very nice. Wanted to go to one in Nashville but ended up not. And thanks wild to hear, mannn, need to get to an LXR or just the Crockford ha.
Bed Bug Tier 😂haha I don't want to be staying at Hampton Inn's anytime soon.. As someone who up to this point would consider myself a Hilton loyalist, I definitely agree with a lot of your picks here. Definitely agree with S Tier on Waldorf & Conrad haha. Great video & Rankings Anthony!
Honestly, it is bedbug tier Ha ha! I guess they are not all bad, but I needed to put something in that tier as well. And for sure, I really need to stay at more of them so I could understand that wholeheartedly a bit more. Thanks Matt man!
Your right about the Conrad, The one in Seoul is amazing. My friends and I stayed there without knowing anything about it . and it was 75k points a night. it was 100% worth it! We wanna go back because how good it was . Since since I was diamond status , they upgraded me.
Home2: the one near SeaTac airport is one of my favorites for work trips because of the kitchenette and the fourth floor having working Ethernet ports. Elevator slow AF and it's more expensive than the DoubleTree nearby. Which brings me to... DoubleTree: the cookies are legit, but they're marked as nut allergy friendly. The nuts are just replaced with other nuts. Hampton: it's definitely hit or miss. When it's a hit, it's great. When it's a miss, I'm immediately looking for other places to stay. There's no middle ground.
Elevator Slow AF 😂😂😂. Wowowww, the cookies ARE legit haha! And interesting hmm. Absolutely agreed on Hampton, some really are decent for sure, some are even higher end in the bigger cities. There’s just a lot of them so you get the good and bad skews with higher numbers of locations. Thanks Anarxur!
When I travel 80% of the time I stay at Hampton Inn’s! I have stayed in Home 2 and Hilton Garden inns during my travels also. I don’t see the difference in quality between the brands or rooms! The ones I’ve experienced have clean rooms, good customer service and the complementary breakfast has been good at Home2 and Hampton Inn. Why stay somewhere like the Embassy Suites where you have to pay for a overpriced breakfast when you can stay at the Hampton inn or Home2 and have the same quality hotel room! People act like Hampton Inn’s are like Motel6 🤣.
I agree that one can not see the difference in quality between the hotel brands. With that said, I stayed at the Embassy Suites last weekend and was offered free breakfast. I am a Diamond member but I think breakfast is offered to everyone.
Totally agree, since the Hampton Inn has the most locations of any Hilton brand, I think you just get more good and bad reception with the numbers. In general, I think they are a decent brand, but not all could escape the bed bug tier unfortunately hahaha. And for sure, Embassy could be overpriced haha.
@johngarlicchicken If a individual is not a Gold or Diamond member then breakfast is not complimentary at Embassy Suites. I just received Gold status a month ago but I’m still going to stay at a Hampton Inn or Home2 on a majority of my stays.
Long time Hilton Diamond member here and I stay 100+ nights per year. I have to have a full kitchen so my favorite is Homewood Suites or Home2 but annoyed by the Home2 points like you pointed out. Also location was great but was not impressed with the DC Conrad since the rooms felt like living in a shoebox. Agree with you mostly on Hampton Inn since thats trash but one exception is the Chincoteague, VA location. It won best Hampton Inn in the country and for good reason since it's on a island and location/property is amazing for a Hampton Inn. I hope to stay there again. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend that place/location for a unique experience
Wowww, at 100+ nights per year, I’m very happy to hear that you agree with most of the rankings, good to know I was at least in the ballpark. And absolutely, I always like to see the full kitchen, even though we never really use it haha. That’s pretty wild that that one Hampton Inn who’s the best in the entire country, maybe I should go there, and do a video titled, the best, and the worst Hampton Inn in the entire world 🤣 Thanks ItsaGreatDay!
Hamptons are inconsistent, but some are very good and better than DoubleTrees I’ve stayed at. We always stop at the Santee, SC one on the way down to Florida. I could give you others as well. If you travel with your dog (Marriott charges much more doing that), some of these are just outstanding and some are awful. You stay at a Hampton to spend the night when you’re on your way somewhere. You are being a bit unfair.
Absolutely agreed on all fronts, it’s just because they were more Hamptons than any other brand of Hilton out there, and with the walls big numbers, he gets skews in both directions for sure. Being a bit unfair? Probably, but that’s also why these videos are fun because it’s based on everybody’s unique perspective. But in general, they are fine. Especially Hamptons in downtown city areas.
Right?? They used to be really really cheap, but recently have jacked up the prices in certain areas. I totally agree, I still love the brand itself. Thanks Mason!
I work at a DoubleTree that was recently converted 2 weeks ago and yes we do give out free cookies at check in. Typically, DoubleTrees are almost always converted properties which is why they always feel old.
Yeah I agree, in fact there’s a Hampton in West Virginia that is the best in America actually haha. 5 star hotel. But Hampton was an easy one to put in trash tier, and I had to have something down there haha. But agreed, they are the most variable since they have a large number of them all over. Thanks J2000!
No Waldorf Astoria slander will be tolerated 😭. I was going to stay at the Conrad in Fort Lauderdale but someone posted about how they got really bad food poisoning there. Maybe I’ll check out Conrad in Las Vegas or LA. This was a great video!
Oh no, no slander from me, aside from the Conrad was better in Vegas 🤣 Just kidding, I saw your room on your channel, it was powerful, but you should have seen CJ’s! Oh damn, that’s horrible for that person, I don’t blame you. Thanks Kayla!!
@@Kaylasshenaniganss He said he’s doing a room tour video very soon actually, maybe a couple of weeks? He has it stored somewhere. And I forgot to take a full video there, but it was very nice.
I stayed the tempo a couple months ago. Breakfast is trash, basic rom was very small(no upgrade with my diamond) and still under some construction. Hotel staff as great tho. Location was right in the middle of Times Square.
Really?? That’s good to know PG! I was like, I haven’t been there, but I probably never will either haha. Man, so no real saving grace on the property itself? Other than location of course.
I'm surprised to see Hampton Inn & Suites at the bottom. I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Atlanta Downtown and personally I thought it was really nice.
Tru is pretty decent. We used to stay at a Wyndham, but they let it go over the last couple years. We went across the street to the Tru. Pretty decent price and it was cleaner than the others in the area.
Watching you speak from experience here really provides a unique take on how someone might choose across the Hilton Porfolio. Scary to hear about your bed bug situation (potentially) at Hampton Inn as my experiences have been minimum B tier. Yours was just BB tier … 😂
For sure and thanks for that Ninja! And for the ones I haven’t, which I think were like 4 or 5, I just took the experience of readings of them online over the years. Yeah, honestly, Hamptons sometimes can be very good, but I needed a good trash bed bug tier brand 🤣.
I love Doubletree's lol it must be the cookies! One of the best stays I ever had was one of the Curio's in Dallas. It honestly could be rebranded as a Waldorf or Conrad. However my worst Hilton stay was a Curio in L.A. Either way I still love my Hiltons.😊
Ohh very nice, I would love to see the Curio in Dallas if it’s that good! Woww, so maybe you had a similar situation where both Curios had opposite outcomes haha. Thanks Simi!
Any hotel can have bedbugs though tbh… you just had a bad experience and tainted your perception of Hampton Inn. There are some really nice Hampton Inns…. I think it’s a C or B tier brand.
Oh agreed, I also needed to start on a High/low note and seal the deal for the pace of the video haha. There are some amazing Hamptons out there for sure, agreed! Thanks UA-cam Experiment!
It’s a shame that Hampton Inns are known for bed bugs. I used to stay there regularly and rack up points to stay at Hilton and Waldorf Astoria for family vacations. Will need to save up some serious points to try the other high ranked brands. Thanks for providing your rankings.
They definitely are, but I think a part of that also is that it’s the most plentiful Hilton brand out there, so with numbers, you also get more good and bad, which is what I think probably happened. Plus, it’s just a budget hotel let us core. Thank you for watching Joe Gadget!
I have stayed at the Signia Hilton Orlando 3-times. It's a great hotel i would give it an A it's attached to the Waldorf by way of large Meeting rooms.
I wish you separated this out between places you had been and a separate video for places you hadn’t been to yet. It’s weird to rate something you haven’t done yet along the same side of things you did. I’m glad to get input on them because I’m not familiar with some of them but I would like to see a different video.
I wouldn’t say it’s weird haha, but realistically, I don’t think anyone in the community actually has been to all 19 brands. Plus, a video separated out like that would just be a bit odd honestly. Rankings are supposed to be fairly fun, and not 100% perfect because it’s all subjective. Plus plus, look at others who rank credit cards, alot of those cards they don’t even have haha, and that’s fine, it’s fun. Thanks Chapoteau!
100k points? my timeshare package offer was only 50k points..., go thing we can do these once every 12 months. next time I'm gonna wait for that 100k point offer.
Absolutely! Also, if you previously got a 100k offer, they’ll sometimes let you match it if you happened to accept one lower, which is what happened to me. For sure, I’d say 50k and up minimum! Thanks Pit!
Conrad in Vegas, extravagant? I just came back from Vegas like 24hrs ago. I have stayed at Wynn, Palazzona, Ceasar, and Conrad, By far Condrad is the most iky hotel out of the four hotels. Feels cheap… But Conrad, outside of the US is awesome.
For me it's not the brand, but more when the hotel was built... I'd rather stay in a 2-star hotel that was built 1-5 years ago, than a 15-20 year 3 star hotel that was renovated...
The Orlando Embassy was kind of icky. Rooms needed pain, lots of scuff marks, could barely open the sliding door. Maybe it was just my luck? We didn’t complain, just wouldn’t stay again.
Ahh interesting. I feel like in Orlando, it is hit or miss unless it’s a very luxurious place haha. Usually Embassy’s are nice elsewhere I think. Thanks Chandelle!
Doubletree cookies are fantastic. It's hit and miss whether the Doubletree is a quality property or not. There's some notorious franchised Doubletrees that are an absolute dump, and there's also really good ones, typically in vacation spots. I actually really like the DT in Orlando right next to the Universal Studios parks and I'm going there with my girlfriend for an Orlando vacation in a couple of weeks. If you're booking a Universal vacation and don't want a hotel in their bubble, the DT is right outside of it and has good food and great amenities while still having a shuttle that goes there.
Hahaha I need to try some DT cookies!! Ahh interesting, good to know. I haven’t encountered a ton of them, but what you’re saying makes sense absolutely. Ohh nice! Have a great vacation with her for sure, and thanks for that tip for Universal. Anytime I’ve gone there, I stayed in Winter Garden. Before the points and miles game ha. Thank you Lancun for being here!
I always informing front desk my service dog while check in . Homewood Springfield charged a pet fee without informing me. Then I called, and they got tons of excuses try not to solve the easy problem. An ADA claim has been filed. Source: my experience
Grumble grumble… Something something Hampton Inn not that bad… 😂 I actually stayed at the Hampton Inn rated the best Hampton Inn in America something like four out of the last five years in Wheeling, W. Virginia.
Hahaha Dugroz! Yes for sure, we even have a really nice Hampton in Greenville as well, right in the downtown area, which is where they are usually very nice. Oh interesting that best rated Hampton wow, maybe I’ll stay there one day 🤔 But I think it sways since there are so many Hamptons, hard to keep them all at a high level. Thanks for being here Dugroz, how’d you like my other rankings ha?
@@DugrozReports For sure! I think by the end of this year, I will have upped my experience from 13 out of 19 brands currently, to 15 or so! One of my goals is to get all 19 one day, so only 4 more!
I owe you a growler of your fav craft libations🍺🍻🍻 for sharing about the Schwab New Investors kit and the $101 for the Stock Slices. They posted it to my account..👍
What’s a Growler?? Also, I’ll take a growler haha. Oh that’s great, I’m glad you took advantage, $100 EARNED! Did you end up applying for the Platinum?
Apparently you don't know Double Tree properties. Terrible, run down all over the us. I would rank Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden above the Double Tree any day.
That’s the good thing with these videos, all these hotels whether high end or not, can have some good and bad properties. Really no right answer, all about perspective! Thanks Scott!
I know at least 1 Hilton Garden Inn that is the same level, if not lower, than how you describe DoubleTrees to be right now. I think Curio Collection, Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton, and Home2 would be their best or some of the best. Hampton Inn definately isn't the best, but it also definately isn't bedbug tier either.
The issue is for a video like this, you need some brand to be bed bug tier, so if it isn’t Hampton, then I don’t know think any of them can be considered, aside from Spark etc. I forget if I put another. The thing is these things change based on the area they are in, so a bed bug tier Hampton can be an A tier since it’s in a downtown area. I just look to the averages of my personal experiences etc. Good point about those brands Lord Laroyalty as well!
Stay clear of Tru By Hilton-Eugene/Springfield located at 3111 Franklin Blvd. (Oregon). This particular Tru By Hilton is independently owned. It should not be confused with a reputable and hospitable Tru By Hilton Hotel. ua-cam.com/users/shorts71x7qJIf8bg?si=H4rIcVaIg9L3Rs-Q

Absolutely and thank you! Yep, Embassy could be overpriced but a decent experience I see.
LXR is for sure one I need to try very soon ha.
I get that for sure Woodzy, but some people have no idea of the other brands so the comparison may fall on deaf ears, and I just don’t have experience at those other properties to even compare, I think I only mentioned Embassy Suites being comparable to a Hyatt Regency, and Tru is basically a Hyatt House.
I’d rate Embassy Suites as A-tier based on my experience (particularly Virginia Beach location). Don’t forget the complimentary made-to-order breakfast and daily happy hour reception. In contrast, my experience with Hilton Resort Fort Lauderdale would be B-tier. Not bad, but not great. My wife also rates Embassy over Hilton Resort.
😂😂😂😂😂 Rose Gold is best bro! Nice to have you visit me at my amazing hotel.
So many brands that I’ve never heard of though. Spark, LXR, Tempo, and some others I don’t even remember.
Conrad was definitely much better than Waldorf Astoria in Vegas, don’t get me started on the gym! 😂😂😂
Excellent video Tony!!
It’s just NOT CJ! Haha.
Oh for sure, only a couple I’ve never heard of and was surprised to learn about them.
Ahh haha let’s goo Conrad team!
Thanks CJ man as always!!
Super informative run through, thanks! I’ve been Diamond for a few years and have only stayed at 4 brands, so this helps me understand the differentiation.
Absolutely Ryan, thank you so much for saying that!
I figured it’s a video that no one has done on the Internet yet, and would help have a lot of people make a decision going forward, and have it be a little bit of fun in the meantime haha.
Good review
I love Garden Inn, certain Double Trees, and Homes 2.
If international traveling, i will seek a resort.
Thank you Ronald! Agreed, those brands have always treated me well!
Very accurate ranking and fun video to watch Anthony! I enjoy Embassy Suites, Hiltons and Conrad’s a lot and never had a bad experience with those. Want to stay at LXR for sure! Thanks for the info bro!🫵
For such a Hilton king like yourself, I’m very happy to know that you agree with a lot of these picks!
Thanks Cesar man, let’s go to an LXR! Ha
Fun video Tony! I wonder what it’s really like to stay in a cube for a hotel 😅. I’m only familiar with the Waldorf when it comes to hotels, but maybe I’ll branch out once I start on the Hilton credit card ladder!
I know right?? I still find it very crazy that you really have stayed at a lot of other brands outside of Hilton.
I would love to see you do a ranking of Marriott properties honestly Stan!
🥇Conrad is my favorite Hilton brand as well🥇 Thanks for the info + video!!!
I’m with that for sure! Thanks Jimmy James!
I stayed at an OG Hilton in New Brunswick NJ and it was one of the worst hotel stays of my life. My first stay as a Diamond Member.
Wow thank you so much for this Keith! You’re the best man!
And oh damn, I mean, was it more the hotel or was it just that it was in New Brunswick 😂😂😂.
I hear you though, I figured it would be occasionally a miss with how old they can be at times.
Nice video Anthony. You should do worst to first Marriott properties
That works be fun! But I really haven’t stayed at enough yet to confidently say one or the other really, maybe in like a year or so haha.
Thanks Juan!
Just the video I wanted to see, curious on the Curio collection with my upcoming stay next month. This helps alot in turning me from the hyatt side
For sure Mike! Thank you for saying that too, I’d love to see a video on the Curio you go to next month for sure, truthfully I think the Lexington one was a fluke, Curios have a great reputation.
I definitely will. Curious to compare on with my Hyatt stay.@@AnthonyVenture
I stayed at a spark and was pleasantly surprised. I’d give them a shot before you rate them.
Maybe I was a little harsh haha, but I also think I saw something saying they are discontinuing the program so Sparks won’t be a thing anymore? Did you see that?
Thanks Louisville!! Maybe I can get to one, one of these days.
Hahaha good stuff. I've been to most of these brands. The Signia is a great hotel. I went to the one in Orlando. I'd defiput Hilton Garden inn at the bottom, most don't have free breakfast... Canopy is a great brand. ... I don't think I've seen any $90 hotels in a while hahahaha

Hmm, maybe you should do a ranking video on the Hilton brand, I would love to see how you were and called them, and all the different footage you have at all of them.
How is that a Signia in Orlando?
That’s amazing that the LXR was the best so far, I really need to stay at some of them.
Thanks Sledge!
@@AnthonyVenture hahaha, I agree with most of your ranking but you know it's all opinionated and we all have different experiences.

it was 100% worth it! We wanna go back because how good it was .

See that, a lot of points, but an amazing experience, and you got the upgrade!
Thanks Fanta man!!

If a individual is not a Gold or Diamond member then breakfast is not complimentary at Embassy Suites. I just received Gold status a month ago but I’m still going to stay at a Hampton Inn or Home2 on a majority of my stays.
Would love to see others rank their favorite hotel's chains brands. This was a really fun video to watch. Challenge issued?
For sure! That’d be fun, I’d love to see how everyone else ranks their Hilton stays, and or any brand for that matter really ha.
Thanks Abdullahi!
Long time Hilton Diamond member here and I stay 100+ nights per year. I have to have a full kitchen so my favorite is Homewood Suites or Home2 but annoyed by the Home2 points like you pointed out. Also location was great but was not impressed with the DC Conrad since the rooms felt like living in a shoebox.

And absolutely, I always like to see the full kitchen, even though we never really use it haha.
That’s pretty wild that that one Hampton Inn who’s the best in the entire country, maybe I should go there, and do a video titled, the best, and the worst Hampton Inn in the entire world 🤣
Thanks ItsaGreatDay!
This is the video I needed but didn't know I wanted.
That’s the exact thing I was hoping for actually haha! No one else has done this yet, so I’m happy to be the first.
Thanks Woodzy!

I like the Home2. Works great when traveling with a family but I do agree that their pricing is weird. It’s the same as regular the Hilton.
Right?? They used to be really really cheap, but recently have jacked up the prices in certain areas. I totally agree, I still love the brand itself.
Thanks Mason!
I agree 100% with your rankings on these Hilton hotels. Awesome video.
Thanks Pink Polo!!

That I have no idea, he came with the picture of the pods 🤣🤣🤣
Anthony got me bunking with a weirdo! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I work at a DoubleTree that was recently converted 2 weeks ago and yes we do give out free cookies at check in. Typically, DoubleTrees are almost always converted properties which is why they always feel old.
Ahh interesting and good to know! Free cookies 😂😂😂
Didn’t know that, that’s interesting most are converted hmmm. I can see that!
Thanks Oscar! 🫡
hampton Inn can vary wildly but shouldn't be in the trash tier-I've stayed at several Hampton Inns that were nicer than a Hilton brand I stayed at.
Yeah I agree, in fact there’s a Hampton in West Virginia that is the best in America actually haha. 5 star hotel.
But Hampton was an easy one to put in trash tier, and I had to have something down there haha.
But agreed, they are the most variable since they have a large number of them all over.
Thanks J2000!
I would love to see the Marriot hotel brand teir list
Will do! As soon as I get more experience with them haha. Hyatt is next up!!
Thanks Nathaniel!!
No Waldorf Astoria slander will be tolerated 😭. I was going to stay at the Conrad in Fort Lauderdale but someone posted about how they got really bad food poisoning there. Maybe I’ll check out Conrad in Las Vegas or LA. This was a great video!
Oh no, no slander from me, aside from the Conrad was better in Vegas 🤣
Just kidding, I saw your room on your channel, it was powerful, but you should have seen CJ’s!
Oh damn, that’s horrible for that person, I don’t blame you.
Thanks Kayla!!
@@AnthonyVenture did CJ make a video or take any pictures? I would've loved to check it out!
@@Kaylasshenaniganss He said he’s doing a room tour video very soon actually, maybe a couple of weeks?
He has it stored somewhere. And I forgot to take a full video there, but it was very nice.
I stayed the tempo a couple months ago. Breakfast is trash, basic rom was very small(no upgrade with my diamond) and still under some construction. Hotel staff as great tho. Location was right in the middle of Times Square.
Really?? That’s good to know PG! I was like, I haven’t been there, but I probably never will either haha.
Man, so no real saving grace on the property itself? Other than location of course.
Stood at Double Tree Resort at Lancaster PA, the cookies are really good, and the kids' pool was nice
Awesome! Very cool, I need some of those cookies right now haha.
Thanks Raze!
I'm surprised to see Hampton Inn & Suites at the bottom. I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Atlanta Downtown and personally I thought it was really nice.
Tru is pretty decent. We used to stay at a Wyndham, but they let it go over the last couple years. We went across the street to the Tru. Pretty decent price and it was cleaner than the others in the area.
Absolutely Scarling, Tru is one of my favorite brands of all time, always a great experience at one!
Let’s go!!!!
Let’s gooo Ritchie, thank you!!
Watching you speak from experience here really provides a unique take on how someone might choose across the Hilton Porfolio. Scary to hear about your bed bug situation (potentially) at Hampton Inn as my experiences have been minimum B tier. Yours was just BB tier … 😂
For sure and thanks for that Ninja! And for the ones I haven’t, which I think were like 4 or 5, I just took the experience of readings of them online over the years.
Yeah, honestly, Hamptons sometimes can be very good, but I needed a good trash bed bug tier brand 🤣.
I love Doubletree's lol it must be the cookies! One of the best stays I ever had was one of the Curio's in Dallas. It honestly could be rebranded as a Waldorf or Conrad. However my worst Hilton stay was a Curio in L.A. Either way I still love my Hiltons.😊
Ohh very nice, I would love to see the Curio in Dallas if it’s that good!
Woww, so maybe you had a similar situation where both Curios had opposite outcomes haha.
Thanks Simi!
Any hotel can have bedbugs though tbh… you just had a bad experience and tainted your perception of Hampton Inn. There are some really nice Hampton Inns…. I think it’s a C or B tier brand.
Oh agreed, I also needed to start on a High/low note and seal the deal for the pace of the video haha. There are some amazing Hamptons out there for sure, agreed!
Thanks UA-cam Experiment!
It’s a shame that Hampton Inns are known for bed bugs. I used to stay there regularly and rack up points to stay at Hilton and Waldorf Astoria for family vacations. Will need to save up some serious points to try the other high ranked brands. Thanks for providing your rankings.
They definitely are, but I think a part of that also is that it’s the most plentiful Hilton brand out there, so with numbers, you also get more good and bad, which is what I think probably happened. Plus, it’s just a budget hotel let us core.
Thank you for watching Joe Gadget!
I have stayed at the Signia Hilton Orlando 3-times. It's a great hotel i would give it an A it's attached to the Waldorf by way of large Meeting rooms.
@@mike82682 ohh very cool! Didn’t know it was attached to the Waldorf, that’s interesting.
Thanks Mike for being here!
Are you based in Tennessee
No actually ha, I’m originally from NY.
Thanks Minewiz!
I personally would give the regular Hiltons a solid B
For sure, I’m kind of in that realm too, I didn’t want to disrespect Conrad Hilton though haha.
Thanks Lando!
check the same hotels in Europe. A huge difference. Not all the brands are there, but it's worth it.
Oh yes 100%, I can see that! One day I’ll get that experience!
Thanks Dominik!!
I wish you separated this out between places you had been and a separate video for places you hadn’t been to yet. It’s weird to rate something you haven’t done yet along the same side of things you did. I’m glad to get input on them because I’m not familiar with some of them but I would like to see a different video.
I wouldn’t say it’s weird haha, but realistically, I don’t think anyone in the community actually has been to all 19 brands.
Plus, a video separated out like that would just be a bit odd honestly. Rankings are supposed to be fairly fun, and not 100% perfect because it’s all subjective.
Plus plus, look at others who rank credit cards, alot of those cards they don’t even have haha, and that’s fine, it’s fun.
Thanks Chapoteau!
100k points? my timeshare package offer was only 50k points..., go thing we can do these once every 12 months. next time I'm gonna wait for that 100k point offer.
Absolutely! Also, if you previously got a 100k offer, they’ll sometimes let you match it if you happened to accept one lower, which is what happened to me.
For sure, I’d say 50k and up minimum!
Thanks Pit!
How would one get on the invitation list? I have never seen an email for any Hilton timeshare offer.
If you’re a Hilton member, they’ll email you every now and again. That’s how I booked it John!
Conrad in Vegas, extravagant?
I just came back from Vegas like 24hrs ago. I have stayed at Wynn, Palazzona, Ceasar, and Conrad, By far Condrad is the most iky hotel out of the four hotels. Feels cheap…
But Conrad, outside of the US is awesome.
For me it's not the brand, but more when the hotel was built...
I'd rather stay in a 2-star hotel that was built 1-5 years ago, than a 15-20 year 3 star hotel that was renovated...
I can see that actually, that makes a lot of sense Jeremy. Especially since they try to make good impressions when first built too!
Good point!
I’m first…I don’t care about the other comments!
As you shouldn’t, you’re royalty. 🤴
The Orlando Embassy was kind of icky. Rooms needed pain, lots of scuff marks, could barely open the sliding door. Maybe it was just my luck? We didn’t complain, just wouldn’t stay again.
Ahh interesting. I feel like in Orlando, it is hit or miss unless it’s a very luxurious place haha. Usually Embassy’s are nice elsewhere I think.
Thanks Chandelle!
Doubletree cookies are fantastic. It's hit and miss whether the Doubletree is a quality property or not. There's some notorious franchised Doubletrees that are an absolute dump, and there's also really good ones, typically in vacation spots. I actually really like the DT in Orlando right next to the Universal Studios parks and I'm going there with my girlfriend for an Orlando vacation in a couple of weeks. If you're booking a Universal vacation and don't want a hotel in their bubble, the DT is right outside of it and has good food and great amenities while still having a shuttle that goes there.
Hahaha I need to try some DT cookies!! Ahh interesting, good to know. I haven’t encountered a ton of them, but what you’re saying makes sense absolutely.
Ohh nice! Have a great vacation with her for sure, and thanks for that tip for Universal.
Anytime I’ve gone there, I stayed in Winter Garden. Before the points and miles game ha.
Thank you Lancun for being here!
You lost me at Canopy at B. It is my favorite on side with Tapestry. I’ve stayed at all brands
Yeah for real Canopy’s are very very cool!
Thanks Gabe for being here!
Nurse Joy works at Hilton Garden Inns ; gotchu
Pretty much she’s at every single one hahaha.
Tru hotels remind me a bit of the Aloft brand.
Oh I haven’t been yet, that’s good to know! Aloft is Marriott I believe, hmmmm, maybe I should go there soon.
Thanks Lando!
@@AnthonyVenture No problem!
I always informing front desk my service dog while check in . Homewood Springfield charged a pet fee without informing me. Then I called, and they got tons of excuses try not to solve the easy problem. An ADA claim has been filed.
Source: my experience
Ohh mannn, yeah see that’s not good, did it ever get resolved you think?
Thanks Too Young Too Simple!
Grumble grumble… Something something Hampton Inn not that bad… 😂
I actually stayed at the Hampton Inn rated the best Hampton Inn in America something like four out of the last five years in Wheeling, W. Virginia.
Hahaha Dugroz! Yes for sure, we even have a really nice Hampton in Greenville as well, right in the downtown area, which is where they are usually very nice.
Oh interesting that best rated Hampton wow, maybe I’ll stay there one day 🤔
But I think it sways since there are so many Hamptons, hard to keep them all at a high level.
Thanks for being here Dugroz, how’d you like my other rankings ha?
@@AnthonyVenture everything else I agreed with! Although, like you, I certainly don’t have experience at every brand. 😎
@@DugrozReports For sure! I think by the end of this year, I will have upped my experience from 13 out of 19 brands currently, to 15 or so!
One of my goals is to get all 19 one day, so only 4 more!
I owe you a growler of your fav craft libations🍺🍻🍻 for sharing about the Schwab New Investors kit and the $101 for the Stock Slices. They posted it to my account..👍
What’s a Growler?? Also, I’ll take a growler haha. Oh that’s great, I’m glad you took advantage, $100 EARNED!
Did you end up applying for the Platinum?
Second
Damn Woodzy coming in FAST!
Apparently you don't know Double Tree properties. Terrible, run down all over the us. I would rank Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden above the Double Tree any day.
That’s the good thing with these videos, all these hotels whether high end or not, can have some good and bad properties.
Really no right answer, all about perspective!
Thanks Scott!
Hampton inn is A teir man
I will say I have seen some A Tier Hamptons in SC for sure, and usually when they are in a downtown areas I’d say.
I know at least 1 Hilton Garden Inn that is the same level, if not lower, than how you describe DoubleTrees to be right now. I think Curio Collection, Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton, and Home2 would be their best or some of the best. Hampton Inn definately isn't the best, but it also definately isn't bedbug tier either.
The issue is for a video like this, you need some brand to be bed bug tier, so if it isn’t Hampton, then I don’t know think any of them can be considered, aside from Spark etc.
I forget if I put another.
The thing is these things change based on the area they are in, so a bed bug tier Hampton can be an A tier since it’s in a downtown area.
I just look to the averages of my personal experiences etc.
Good point about those brands Lord Laroyalty as well!
Stay clear of Tru By Hilton-Eugene/Springfield located at 3111 Franklin Blvd. (Oregon). This particular Tru By Hilton is independently owned. It should not be confused with a reputable and hospitable Tru By Hilton Hotel.
