To many (non-elite) younger travelers and business travelers, some benefits not related to breakfast include:
  • being lower-cost, no-frills alternative to the FS properties
  • more work space
  • more locations
  • consistency
Granted, most the whining here on FT stems from the limited elite perks.

Found a relevant thread that includes an FT'ers take on CY's DNA:
