and a line out the door under staffed
With 5th night free with Hilton and 4th night free with IHG plus a 10% points rebate on any night(s) booked Hyatt looks the same
or higher most of the time now.
And unless the breakfast and upgrade are stellar I'd rather spend the $$$ and go out of house as long as I don't sacrifice value
and a good stay experience
Hotel breakfasts have typically gone downhill since the pandemic
I prefer to be a free spirit equal opportunity traveler.We all have to do what is best for all of us individually.
