Totally agree!!! With regard to the OP question, I stay often at CY even with a lower rate FI next door. The main reason is consistency over most properties within my per diem. Especially when it comes to the mattress.Cy invests in their bedding. At FI I feel like somebody just plopped down a slab of foam, put a sheet on it and calls it a mattress.

Most CY's I stay in have been updated with the new lobby, which I could care less about. I might care more if I could get point credit for the food and drink for which I have to pay hotel premium prices. But until then, my food and drink dollar will go to adjacent restaurants which usually can be found around most CY's.
