Anyways, I'm currently booked for 4 nights at the Andaz 5th Ave. I have 2 nights P+C w/DSU and 2 nights with Chase award. I would have done more on P+C+DSU but no availability on the suite on the 3rd night.
I'm thinking about booking the Park Hyatt for the last night with Chase award. I figured that I probably will never get another chance to stay here so why not. My biggest concern though is, of course, moving hotels. I just wanted some opinions though. Park Hyatt standard room vs Andaz standard room? (Since I assume we will have to move out the suite on after the second night.)
Presumably your SO might not be thrilled with 2 nights in a suite, moving to a different room at the Andaz for 1 night, then moving to yet another hotel for the final night. You might want to consider using both Chase nights at the PH. As a Diamond, you're also more likely to get Deluxe rooms, rather than Standard ones.
From what I've read, the PH in New York doesn't quite wow people the same way other PHs do, and the Andaz 5th is many people's favourite Hyatt option in NYC.
Personally I would find it fun to try both and compare, but that depends on you and your SO's interest in packing up and moving to another hotel - a Diamond late check out at least means you don't have to leave one until 4pm, when the other hotel should definitely have your room ready. An extra 1,000 point Diamond amenity bonus is always handy as well.
