Agreed, we stayed here in September and very much enjoyed it.

Well, in fairness, and this has been discussed before (e.g. breakfast is not free at Hyatt Place London Heathrow), the breakfasts that are offered at these properties are in a completely different class than what you see offered at Hyatt Places/House in the US. I mean not even remotely comparable. If you enjoyed the breakfast at HP Krakow you know that. To my knowledge, there is no HP in the US that offers a breakfast spread comparable to HP Krakow. Worth noting, should others read, breakfast is complimentary for Globalists.

Umm.. that's a pretty broad generalization. That isn't even remotely the first thing I think of when hearing HP or HH. In fact, on the rare occasion we stay in an HP in the US, we often skip breakfast completely. Frankly, if I need breakfast, I'd rather pay for a decent breakfast than eat what is on offer at most US based HPs just because it's "free."

Again, I'm afraid our experiences differ. I believe we stayed for 5 nights in September 2023 and had no problems at all, in fact, we streamed movies using a VPN, no problem at all.
