I have another option not far away that I have booked already so its not a huge loss but hotels are 1000 per night or mostly sold out for the weekend so using free nights would be super valuable.
well if you have enough points book the suite for the # of nights you have to to get it,making sure that you can cancel the res w/o penalty. Then call up Hyatt after booking it to drop the days you dont want and see if the days you do want still remain intact. If the agent says sorry if you drop those dates its not available just tell them to CX the whole res and go with your backup, nothing gained or lost.

Repeating myself make sure you look at the CX policy and that you can cancel it should you not beable to drop off the dates that dont work for you, so if you are looking to stay 5/2-4 and it says Cancel 30 days before DONT BOOK IT and go with Plan B. If it says 7 days before well then book it but get a screen shot of the CX T&Cs and /or print it out just in case something hits the fan when you go to CX and are told Sorry theres a 30 day policy, you'll hav ethe proof taht when you booked that wasnt the T&Cs
