At some mid to lower end Hilton brands, I find that the sheets are rougher due to low quality rather than starching/weave. I like a cool, crisp sheet, particularly percale which is slightly coarse and a (very) firm mattress, which is why Hyatt beds are up my alley. Conrad sheets (and mattress firmness) appear to be very similar to PH (sample size of Tokyo, Osaka, and Singapore).
If you compare Hyatt sheets to something like Renaissance (which are almost like sateen), I can see why they appear more rough.

Outside of Hyatt Places and Houses (which are the low end of Hyatt) the only Hyatt that I've stayed in where the bedding felt bad was the HR Tokyo. I couldn't tell if it was the quality of the bedding or if they were just using a lot of starch or something.
I noticed the same at HR Tokyo - I think it was the starching.
