This place was "a lot more lively" with road-warrior business travelers, not the current crowd which seems to be mostly "travel hackers." That's my point.

Also, "travel hackers" definitionally aren't loyal.

People here are simultaneously arguing that there are way too many Globalists and way too many points in the system but also that Hyatt isn't being generous enough.
