In the pacific northwest, other than the Seattle area, Hyatt branded hotel are few and far between. One each in the state of Oregon and Idaho.

Given the fact that most Hyatts are run with service contracts, why are there so few? Does Hyatt have a better or stricter enrollment standard compare to other brands? Is its service contract more expensive? Is the company to small compared to say Hilton to effectively run more hotels? I understand there can be only so many Grand or Park Hyatt, but why not more Hyatt House and Hyatt Places?

Just curious
