I usually find the RI to be quieter, although older ones involve outside entry.
I know someone working for our company that prefers CY because of the points, and begs at the front desk for a suite upgrade, which of course he would have gotten automatically with RI. I value the extra points at about $5 typically, and breakfast averages $10. When I suggested to the coworker that his economics were screwed up, he replied "the company pays for my breakfast anyway, and the company lets me keep my points".
