I echo the above comment that, unless you have Diamond status, you should stay at the Park Hyatts...

I suppose if the OP is New York based it won't be easy, but I highly recommend a 12-night mattress run at a cheap Hyatt Place to get Diamond for 18 months. It might cost $1k or so (plus the cost of getting to the cheap HP), but it will get a whole bunch of free breakfasts, room upgrades, 6k HGP points, evening drinks/snacks at many GH/HR, etc. etc.

All the money I've ever spent on Hyatt Diamond I got back double or triple when I was upgraded for a week to a $1000 / night suite at a Park Hyatt!
