It might be helpful if you read back in the thread. I already clarified how this was meant. Out of 470 HP or so, roughly 450 provide a member breakfast. This hotel, along with a few others, made Hyatt enter a custom rule into its ToS exempting them from having to provide the member breakfast and got it reduced to Globalist-only.
And, BTW, this happened a little over 3 years ago. Prior to that, they did provide a complimentary member breakfast. The majority of HP outside the US still promises a free member breakfast.

Which is what I am trying to do as well. In my mind, it is perfectly legit to say I would expect less at the HP LHR than at several other LHR hotels in that price range (I mentioned them above).
If you are only booking Hyatt anyway, well, you don't need this thread. The HP LHR it is, then, terrible as it may be. There is no other Hyatt in the vincity (anymore).
If people want to stay at any other hotel on Bath Road or elsewhere because they think it meets their needs better, then by all means... but there's no need to come back again and again to this thread and bash this HP because you want to have a 5th floor view of the office building across the street instead of the 3th floor view.
You either by mistake or deliberately misinterpret my post. When I stay at a Bath Road hotel and it says view, that generally means runway view, as it does in the Renaissance and such. This HP is overdoing it on room category inflation. They sell "airport view" rooms on floors 2-3 without any view to speak of. This is a forum with many AV geeks so it does not seem inappropriate to me to point out that the hotel is playing games with room categories and has "airport view" rooms where you get a small glimpse/obstructed view of the airport area without runway view.
