Most Hyatt properties in the US don't have clubs/lounges. Even a substantial chunk of Hyatt Regency properties in the US haven't had Regency Club lounges for years (if ever).
The last Park Hyatt lounge in the Americas that I visited was at the Park Hyatt LA -- a Hyatt which is no more.
The 4 club upgrade benefit does sound like a bit of an improvement for the non-Diamonds who do 30-49 nights a year. But for Diamonds doing 25-59 nights per year, your chances to use the club lounge as a program benefit have just dropped. There's a lesson in there.
