I finally understand the CY business model after staying (for the first and probably last time) at a FI over the weekend.

Listen, people, the fact that Courtyards have no free breakfast is a feature, not a drawback. If you're traveling for business and want to stay at a hotel that is not overrun by families and kids, stay there. The lack of breakfast generally keeps all of that noise and chaos out of the CY lobbies every morning.
