That said, they all have pros and cons. I know nothing about Priority. Starwood is great as I like the ability to transfer to airlines and to get great rates on hotels with Cash and Points. Hyatt treats its high-level elites very, very well - free breakfasts at Park Hyatts are a very, very valuable perk. Hilton treats mid-level elites very well. Marriott has never impressed me and the award levels are high for what I receive.

Hope that helps.
Agree completely. Starwoods is the best, by sheer number of hotels at all levels and the airline transfer. Hyatt is not far behind: a lot of excellent hotels, very good stay/reward ratio, and awesome perks for elites.
