Some of the aspects that strike me as either odd or lower-end:

--Unlike Hyatt Place, there will be no partition between the bedroom area and the living area in the "studios," which are essentially rooms.

--The 42" flat panel is positioned for best viewing from the sofa. From the bed, it's going to be at at least a 30 degree angle. (HP places their TV midway between the two areas.)

--Looks like all the "studios" will go with shower only - no bathtubs. I've been looking to see when a brand would take the plunge and do this.

--Looks like they're going with an interior PTAC unit - hopefully of a newer, quieter kind than in current midrange properties. This does remove about 4 sf of space from around the window. In a "studio" that can make a difference.
