Staybridge Suites, hands down, for mid/low price chains. Beats Holiday Inn Express and Residence Inn by a mile. (And I do like the HIX cinnamon rolls.)

My vote is Hyatt Place. Grapefruit and hot egg sandwiches hit the spot.
Homewood Suites is all over the place -- some are barely more than cereal and oatmeal in a tiny, crowded space. Some are nice hot entrees in a comforting and truly home-like dining area.

But most people also refer to free wifi, free soap and shampoo, free water (when it's free) and free cookies at the front desk, so I think that ship has sailed.

In general, Embassy still wins as a chain. Much like how some properties in other brand portfolios are better than others, some ESs fall short. But overall, ES is consistently above average, in my experience.
