Very true . . . of course, given that the Marriott properties in El Paso are not the greatest I have ever stayed in - one might consider quality over quantity. I’m not saying that I haven’t stayed at some really bad Starwood hotels either - mostly because I definitely have. But given that Starwood chooses to not have any properties in this city, this might be useful information to you. Just trying to present both sides of the coin. Sheratons are near the low end of the spectrum, in my opinion . . . probably comparable to a courtyard by Marriott.
