DENVER AIRPORT Hyatt Place vs Hyatt house (Summerfield)
Any opinions on staying at Hyatt Place Denver Airport versus Summerfield Suites Denver Airport? I am planning a 1 night stay due to an early flight out of DIA. I have Diamond status, not sure if that makes any difference at those properties.
Thanks for any advice!

SS:
new property as of this summer (June/July I think?)
not near anything except the airport
has studio/1BR/2BR configurations
hot breakfast buffet
evening reception (usually only M-Th) w/ snacks and drinks
full kitchen including dishes, full-size microwave/fridge/oven/stovetop
HP:
has a few restaurants nearby
every room is the same (modulo bed type)
mini-fridge in wetbar area
free breakfast is continental only
Otherwise, they're basically the same and offer the same amenities: free wifi, airport shuttle. Your status as a diamond won't net you anything at either property. For a 1-night airport stay, I would pick the cheaper option. If price is the same or not an issue, I'd opt for SS if only for the better breakfast (hot provided for free or a kitchen to make your own if you're leaving too early).

I stayed at the HP last December. Very friendly staff, but otherwise standard HP. Not exactly right next to the airport, which in our case mattered due to an early morning flight and a snow storm.

Both properties are more then adequate. I prefer the SS for a few reasons:
1. Closer to the airport by about 7 minutes.
2. They always upgrade me to a 1-bedroom from the studio suite. The extra space is a nice touch.
3. The bathrooms are much more inviting at SS.
The only thing I like at HP is the ability to order hot food from their menu, as there are a few good items.

When is your morning flight? U mention early and the trip there from either property ck-in w/or w/out bags may not leave you enough time at either property for breakfast. Make sure the shuttle leaves when you have to. I've stayed at the HP and for the reasons listed, it's fine. If the SS doesn't serve the buffett before you have to leave then it's an amenity u paid for but couldn't use. True you have your own kitchen but where are you going to get ingredients to make for one breakfast? DIA has breakfast options all the way down to McDonalds.

Everyone, thanks for your inputs!
