Never said the room rates are lower at a CY. Among other things, if one was being intellectually honest, one would take into account the location.

The difference is the W room rate is often being divided up by several people who dont regularly travel so comparing the room rate in selected large metro areas to a CYs across the country says nothing about income.

For those who like Hyatt's, I'm confident that the average or median income of Hyatt guests is far higher than that of W guests as well.

I like Ws but I'm surprised anyone would debate they often attract a trashy crowd who cant really afford to stay there.
