If you look at the physical product alone you'd be able to notice the difference - heck just look at kitchens, SHS doesn't offer them, TPS's are smaller...then look at room evening socials, SHS & TPS don't offer them - RI does....I could go on but what I gather from your POV is that these items aren't as important as they might be for someone else which is why there are so many different hotel brands out there
