There's no rhyme or reason that anyone here will ever be able to deduce. If you have a bunch of SET codes, try them out for the different properties and you'll get different results... sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

And yes, when using a SET code, your folio more often than not will show the corporation's name.
Actually, there are reasons as to why certain hotels offer better rates using an SET # over other properties using the same number. One very big one is the business the company is bringing/doing to/in the area of the hotel. For instance, staying at the Sheraton near Best Buy in Minneapolis will render you a really good rate if you work for company X where many of the guests are consulting with Best Buy.
