I think the relative award categories might be confusing someone unnecessarily.
I would agree with you that the two brands are normally not in the same league but in European tourist destinations the Sheraton brand actually was seen as a high end option. There are a couple of examples of that...remember the Pine Cliffs LC was called the Sheraton Pine Cliffs and then there’s the Sheraton Mallorca...so in areas where there historically weren’t luxury chains a Sheraton was considered luxury. Anyway....RC Abama doesn’t seem to be one of the best RC and it’s definitely not one of the nicest so if you compare that to one of the better Sheratons they might be comparable.
