I understand.

Based on my limited experience I have been very impressed with RI. But then again the only one I have stayed at is the RI in Whistler, BC which is probably not indicative of most RIs as it has a pool, 2 hot tubs, ski shop, keyed indoor parking, and is slope side. Hard to beat even by the full service hotels. I have never stayed at HS so can't compare.
Also an associate stayed at the RI Phoenix airport which is brand new and looked very nice. I think it might depend on the perticular property.
