Hilton on the other hand seems to devalue at 10% annual rate.. we went from being 1c pt just a few years back to less than half cent/pt...
Exactly! Hyatt still has plenty of 5K properties, and they have had those for as long as I remember (7-8 years?), and those 30K Park Hyatt properties still have a great value of aprox $1K. With Hilton, it is 95K for Conrad Tokyo for much lower $ price, etc.
But again, my point of the Hilton silent devaluation is cutting off 5K properties without saying a word about it is a very bad practice.
