Indeed. I've also noticed the HP's "High Floor" BS (usually $5, but I've seen $10 in other locations. These are all suburban HPs.

Agreed on the breakfast as well - the HGI certainly has that beat for me. I like the room size and other things, but it's stuff like this that really makes me unhappy. (currently HHonors Diamond, but not Hyatt, since it looks like I'll have to go through a lot of these HPs bs'ing along in my area)
