  • Hilton Hotels & Resorts (Marriott, JW Marriott)
  • DoubleTree by Hilton
  • Embassy Suites
That's a useful ranking and a good start for the OP, but I wouldn't call Embassy Suites full service. (Show me the a la carte restaurant and room service, for one.)

The OP would really do better to understand the brand-standard elements and then use resources (there are many property master threads on FlyerTalk) to select the better offerings in a specific location. There are lots of cities where a good HGI beats a mediocre ES.
