They have a pretty decent food and bar menu, and I wouldn't be surprised if the take on that was an integral part of the business plan.
A lot of HPs are in random locations where guests have fewer options for meals. Why not in-source this to encourage guests to stay on property for meal times? And for guests who might choose a different property due to the HP being in a food desert, now they might be more likely to opt for an HP.
HP isn't Hyatt's response to Moxy though, Caption is. HP is more comparable to a Four Points or Fairfield. I agree with platbrownguy and don't think that there's much demand for better food options from the majority of HP guests, and the places that do already have better menus (eg. Moab).
