In resort destinations (Hawaii, Cancun, etc) the gap in options is even wider. Overall, I would say Wyndham has 3x as many decent hotels. The only reason I have and use Choice points is when, in a specific location, the Choice hotel is the only option, or the Wyndham hotels are poorly rated and the Choice property is materially better.
That's very true. I don't typically consider overseas (ex-US) breadth so much since the vast majority of my travel is domestic. Earlier this year I ended up at a Best Western property in France since there were no Marriott or Choice options (my two main programs) that had reasonable parking. I don't remember if I even looked at Wyndham.
