We are visiting New York from Sep 3rd to 7th for four nights, and I am debating whether I should stay in a Hyatt or SPG property. Four of us (my mother, my fiance, myself and my best friend) are traveling together and staying in the same room, and I think we need a suite to ensure everyone has space. Since we have three females and one male, I am thinking that my mother and I can sleep on the same bed, and my friend occupying the other bed, leaving my fiance on the sofa.
Right now the Loft Suite and Andaz Suite are available. Which one would be a better choice? Or will anyone has any recommendations for these kind of sleeping arrangements?

Going from Andaz to Homewood Suites is quite an downgrade.
OP, look into Conrad. They are all suites and their standard rooms are far bigger and nicer than the ones at Andaz. Prices are far more reasonable as well. Unless, you must stay in midtown (not sure why), Conrad is a good choice.

As CodeAdam pointed out, you are only going to get King beds, not doubles in any of the suites. Given the layout you want to achieve, something along the lines of a Homewood Suites would be right up your alley. Any premium hotel that is not all Suites (like a Homewood or Embassy Suites) is only going to have one king bed (unless of course you go with a multiple bedroom suite and I assume since you are shoving everyone in one room, that is not a price point for you)

In my experiences, this is the standard at most hotels (NYC or not). It is rather unusual for a hotel to have an enhanced room or suite-type with two double beds, unless in a case of an actual two bedroom suite where the 'master bedroom' will have a king bed and the secondary bedroom may have two beds of sorts.

The following are the rare Hyatt properties that come to mind with the option to have a suite with 2 double or queen beds:
GH Manchester, San Diego (Conference Suite)
HR Milwaukee
HR Chicago (Avenue Suite)
PH Tokyo (Park Suite)
HR Tokyo (Atrium Suite)

Most, but not all, suites at Hyatt properties we have stayed in have a parlor with bedrooms going off each side. The suite can be configured with either a king bedded bedroom or, by using the other bedroom, a two queen bedroom. The unused bedroom is simply locked off by the hotel and sold as just a room to other guests.

Does anyone have a updated diamond breakfast policy here ? Just checked in today and front desk seemed divided on room service as breakfast and if there was a allowance. I was looking over the breakfast menu and it looks like 50 a person is on par (22 for coffee and oj plus 22 for eggs and bacon) anyone have any Experience on this?

I have a dissenting experience.
We were also there in April (26-30), and were allowed the $75 allowance as room service. We exceeded this on two days to mid eighties with tip/service charge and they removed everything from our bill at check out.
