That would also not make sense, that a higher tier get higher rates.
Positive that was the case when the Hyatt/MLife partnership started.
SkywalkerLAX was compled Noir when the partnership started and we compared room rates at multiple hotels/dates. I was Plat.
IIRC, Plat/Gold gets one discount (25%?) and Noir/Pearl gets a lower discount (15%?). Again, the smaller discount is not enough to get upset about; you gotta pay for the 'comped' limo somehow. And I'm sure the assumption is that a Noir's going to get comped his room anyway with gameplay.
The limo is only one perk of Noir, you also have VIP lounge and can get tickets to any MGM show/restaurant in town. (I recommend Picasso in Bellagio - Michelin 2 star at a reasonable price).
As a comparative yardstick, I'll look at one room rate on MLife.com... you
really want to book on MLife's website, as the price is lower than Hyatt's and you will get full Hyatt credit.
Bellagio, April 17-18, 2 guests, Resort King
Not logged in: gives 'semi-annual event' discount price of $199.20 before taxes and resort fees.
Logged in as a Gold gives: $149.40
As I quoted above, that's exactly a 25% discount.
I'll let a Noir compare same date, room. It should be ~$169.32 which would be a 15% discount.
