If you are staying mainly in hotels <$125 a night, I suspect you will be better off looking at Marriott; they have the most comparable portfolio to Hilton. Hyatt Place is often near that price range, as are Aloft, Four Points, and some Sheratons, but neither Hyatt or SPG has the same low-end presence that Hilton, Marriott, or ICHG do.

On the other hand, you have to do a lot more business to make Plat with Marriott -- even with the credit card bonus. Hyatt and SPG status are comparatively easier to come by, as they offer qualification by stay (and double stay bonuses have been common).
