They have their footprint as one advantage that hard to beat.
Although they will still lose to being independent.
I guess Marriott create that POV forum to hear which benefit they can afford to cut and which one they need to keep to outrun competitor.
Their footprint is really not better. They just have a lot of different brands in the same market. Hilton is many places they are not and while they do not have as many brands in a market, they only need to have one to satisfy the masses.
