I will admit: I didn't know there were that many Courtyards!! I was thinking more about size than profitability, and it's clear that no matter how you slice it it's among their biggest brands.

I remember on the HH board, there was a discussion about how Hampton had the highest margins of any brand in the portfolio. You can build them fast and operate them cheap (comparatively). Probably a true concept across most of the limited-service realm.
