Strong fit for live acquisition, operator and affiliation decisions at 30–150-room US hotels. The document combines current official franchise disclosures, government guidance, supplier-scope evidence, dated operating research and transparent numerical comparisons. It is a substantive owner-side framework rather than a provider ranking; the principal limitations are the absence of confidential property evidence, negotiated contracts, licensed local benchmarks and independently verified operator outcomes. Keyword coverage is decision-led, but demand estimates were not validated. October 20 update retains the substantive supplied research, corrects identified inconsistencies and distinguishes source access from full factual or property-level verification. Search demand was not measured.
