How do the different hotels compare in your mind? I'm wondering if there's a chain I've never been to which is a safe bet. What's your favorite, with pros and cons?

This is especially for a long term business stay.

Hampton Inn
Hilton Garden Inn
Homewood Suites

Courtyard by Marriott
Residence Inn by Marriott
Springhill Suites

Candlewood Suites
Staybridge Suites
Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites

Quality Inn

Wingate

And any others that come to mind.
