Pretty much every hotel chain other than Starwood offers a Mastercard or VISA affinity card, and many are free. See, for example, see post 5 in this thread in Other Credit Cards:

However, if the objective is to convert to airline miles, there is no hotel card other than SPG which is attractive, because hotel chains typically convert 5:1 to miles and you will not average 5 point per dollar with any hotel credit card.
