No surprise though, given that Hilton has nearly four times as many properties as Starwood! @:-) I believe Marriott also has a similar multiple times Starwood -- too lazy to look that up right now though.

Point is, you can't really expect Starwood to have the same coverage in smaller markets as the bigger chains do. Not until Starwood itself gets a lot bigger, at least. @:-)
