The elevators in most Hyatt Place properties are not just slow because of housekeeping using them or because there aren’t enough for the number of guests/floors. They are moving at slooooooow motion at 3am when everyone else is asleep.

i always figured that faster elevators require better hardware and more maintenance. And HP’s design spec must ask for the cheapest (= slowest) elevators available on the planet.

They are a reason why I don’t want high floors at HPs.
