Hyatt Place Breakfasts Changing 4/1?
I just received a Hyatt survey follow-up from an HP GM, and he included the following sentence:
"As of April 1 all Hyatt Place's are getting a new breakfast and an upgrade. "
This was the first I heard of this, and I figured I would pass it on. I know most of the posts on here involve PHs and higher end properties, but I thought this might be useful info to some.

The breakfast is pretty mediocre (I end up just eating some cottage cheese and maybe the bacon off the crappy sandwiches they put out) so it would not be hard to upgrade it. There isn't even a waffle machine to make a waffle which you have at all the Hilton all inclusive breakfast brands

Maybe as part of the WOH "upgrade" they want to offer a breakfast that "revolves around you" which offers a "Personal connections" and an "Amazing experiences!"

In my experience the international Hyatt Places can have much better breakfasts than the U.S. HPs. Hyatt Place Tijuana has a shockingly excellent full breakfast spread, with 3 kinds of truly fresh-squeezed juices, homemade chilaquiles, salsas, fresh eggs, fresh pastries... it all tastes like a real chef made it. La Paz HP isn't quite as good but still has fresh made tostones, eggs, etc.
But the U.S. HP breakfasts are so bad that literally anything would probably be an improvement. I'm curious what they'll do to upgrade it while still keeping in the 'efficiency' mode of US HP breakfasts.

This would be nice. I like Hyatt Places a lot but the breakfasts are a weak point. I'm staying at a Hilton Garden Inn right now where I have a far worse room than I would at a HP but I get a cooked to order breakfast whereas at a HP I'd get some crappy egg sandwiches.

The sad thing is I consider those egg sandwiches to still be better than when certain HPs put out the "skillets" of institutional quality scrambled eggs and sausage in lieu of the sandwiches. Hopefully the rumored changes will at least call for some minimum level of consistency.

I like the breakfast sandwiches for something different.

I hope the 'upgrade' moves it to 'edible'. Let's say something like a Springhill Suites or Fairfield Inn .... I know I'm setting the bar high but a guy can dream.
IME experience the hot items at most HP are horrible. I've gotten to the point where I don't even go downstairs for it... it's not worth the effort.

I'm looking forward to possible changes. The breakfast stuff is pretty low end across all of the HH and HP locations.
Personally I don't understand the lack of consistency comments. Seems like every HP I stay at has the same crappy selection: pealed grapefruit, canned fruit salad, junk bowl of yogurt, scrambled eggs, soggy frozen waffles, and the gross egg mcmuffin knockoffs.
I would love a change.

One time at breakfast at a Hyatt Place (I'm sure we could all have stories that start off that way), I stepped away from the toaster for all of 5 seconds. Upon my return, a woman was standing right in front of the toaster looking around, and as soon as my bagel came out she took it. I looked at her in bewilderment, and she said, “I’m sorry, was this yours? Do you want it?” After she had already touched it, I told her not to worry about it.
Therefore, my only hope is that the upgrade includes personal toasters, label makers, or security personnel.
