I'd avoid the HGI and Hampton (dirty and unkempt, breakfast barely edible, all owned by the same group that also owns the newer Homewood but reviews are more positive there). Just took a look at these three for points and they are all inflated well above their value. The Hilton downtown is always a safe bet but inconvenient if you rent a car. The remaining two, Embassy and Home2 can be good but inconsistent. I'd lean toward the Embassy. Others may have more recent information to offer.
