well still from that standpoint many of the Hilton hotels are older and were built with more suites while Marriott's were not, speaking specifically about RHR - the hotels in the chain today tend to be older/historic and again have more suites but I would expect this to change as the brand continues to grow....unfortunately in general from a developers stand point suites are considerably more to build than a standard room which makes it difficult for the ROI to pencil-please note I did say in general, there are cases where it does pencil to add additional suites
