I haven't stayed in many SHS, but did recently at IAH which is the 'new' version. Definitely impressed w/ it, including the waffle maker that makes waffles in the shape of Texas

Also stayed at ORD SHS for ORD Seminar Do. I was upgraded to a corner suite which was huge.
SHS is now in my mix of hotels to stay at, especially if it's a weekend & FS properties have exec lounges closed.
Cheers.
