Exactly. I have stayed at Hilton Garden Inns that were close to full service Hiltons, and others that were atrocious. Same with Hampton Inns, Fairfields, Courtyards, Residence Inns, etc.
That said, I have had very good luck with Hilton Homewood Suites, generally good luck with Residence Inns.
As a side note, when looking at Hampton / Fairfield / Courtyard / HGI, check the specific property to ensure they have fridge, safe, etc. Not all do, and I've learned that after getting to the room.
