I like almost every mid-tier HH brand better than its Marriott counterpart.

HGI >>> Courtyard

I still stay at a lot of RI's (because there are so many of them) and SHS's (because Embassy can sometimes be more expensive than a full-service hotel), but I *like* the HH products better.

No experience with Home2 Suites. They *look* better than a TPS.

At the mainline & up levels, it's the exact opposite: I almost always prefer a Marriott/Renaissance/JW/Ritz over a nearby Doubletree/Hilton/Conrad/W=A. Even today, where I'm MR Gold and HH Diamond.
