Same with the Yogyacarta Regency. I kind of felt the property should be "off peak" given how low the room rate was.

I suspect most non-Americans -- who can't gin up Hyatt points as easily -- would decide to just pay the room rates. I would also note that, in Solo, I had to have a discussion with the staff about having breakfast in the restaurant. They initially said that, on an award stay, I was supposed to eat in the lounge. But they quickly and politely "relented" and let us have breakfast in the restaurant.
