Meanwihile, on SPG, it depends what you mean by "top tier" and what you mean by "treatment".....and my gripe with SPG isn't lack of upgrades (I don't care that much), it's that I've found the luunge at a typical Sherton to be downright wimpy compared to the lounge at a typical Hilton or at a typical FS Marriott. I've also found the internet to often be in disrepair at Sheratons (where they often don't have wifi in the rooms and yet have problems aplenty with the wired internet connectors), which I never seem to have at Marriotts ....
