For example, using your dates I tried a six night stay starting 6/7 and it showed Garden available, but trying just the 7th or 8th as a single night Garden isn't available.
...or just call GP desk as this does seem like gaming.
Booking as 1 night non-award stays does not display Garden View. Only 6+ nights show that category.
Does this minimum night requirement allow them to circumvent lowest category rooms to be available via points?
I didn't call yet, but I DM'ed to Hyatt's twitter last week and was met with a firm no on award availability.
