Of course not - but you're missing the point entirely.
To simplify it - Marriott has two limited service properties that have Inn as part of their name and two that have Suites as part of their name. One would logically think, since being in distinct tiers/segments is generally a good thing and practiced by most large int'l hotel corporations, that one Inn might be a better / worse version of the other, and same for the Suites. Would make for easier "shopping" comparisons generally.
But that is not the case, assuming the RI:TPS and SHS:FI relationship.
