Thanks,
What are you tired of with HHonors?
I tend to think of Hampton as the best of the roadside motel brands.
I tend to think of Homewood as at least as good as Residence Inn, usually better because they're newer.
I generally think of FS Marriott as a smidge above FS Hilton, but that reverses if you have weekend stays.
Seems like your stay pattern fits HH pretty well. What are you looking for from a switch?
The only place I see Marriott with a clear advantage is greater total coverage with FS properties. I see a lot of cities with three or four large FS Marriott/Ren/JW type properties and only one or two Hiltons. That can be helpful if you need to stay in a certain budget range (greater chance that some Marriott will fit). But if 60% of your travels are out where it's just Hampton vs. Fairfield, I think you're better off in HHonors.
