(I have a corporate code)
Okay, I was just explaining as some people may mistake them.
One night May be fine, I definitely wouldn’t do over 3 as they do check key swipes and housekeeping would definitely notice as they check the rooms on day 3 and no Do Not Enter sign plus 0 signs of usage.
I would definitely recommend signing up for an MGM rewards account as even just with Gold status you tend to get highly discounted nights which are better than a corporate code that could offer 50% off at Excalibur.
The only 2 benefits to booking via Hyatt vs. MGM are -
1) Ability to book with points on dates when cash rates are exceedingly high.
2) Ability to see the booking on Hyatt.com as booking via MGM you can only see the booking on MGM until it actually posts on Hyatt.
Best of Luck.
