I think Hampton's are a huge plus to the HHonors program. I've never stayed at a Starwood property but I'm sure the average rate is much more than the average Hampton. </font>
Agreed. The Hampton is a good mid-teer property that makes corporate bean counters happy. The Starwood lowest end (4 points) has bad coverage and can be pricey. I haven't seen many cities without a Hampton Inn. I like that I can stay at Hampton on the company's nickel and earn rewards at places like Jalouse ro HHV.
