Sure!
As a Hilton Gold member I eat breakfast there about 3-4 times a week. Never paid a single penny.

Without staying there? You can just walk in and provide a membership number?

Coincidently, I actually do have a breakfast meeting at the Waldorf this week so maybe we'll see each other and I can apologize for poking fun at you.

A few years ago, we purchased a diffuser and room spray from the concierge.

Apparently they do have them sometimes.
