This would be a disappointing devaluation to one of the greatest benefits of the greatest hotel loyalty program. When most of your stays are at a Hyatt Place or House without suites, it's difficult to use them all before expiration. At least if they can be applied to a future reservation, an occasional vacation trip with the family is guaranteed to be comfortable. Often when its me, my wife and the kids, and the choice is between Hyatt Place or House for $99 or Regency or Grand w/DSU for $200+, I'd pick the higher priced hotel for the added comfort/service of a suite and club lounge. DSUs aren't just a nice perk, they drive revenue.
