Oddly enough, I usually find HP to be $20-50 more expensive than the comparable Hampton Inn or Springhill Suites. The bonus with Hyatt is that Hyatt Place locations typically have two queen or full beds and a sofa bed. Hilton and Marriott also aren't currently playing games with which guests and rates qualify for free breakfast at their limited service properties. For the same price though, I'm more likely to choose a Drury if available because of the extra amenities and greater quality control.

I've stayed at a lot of Hyatt Place and Hyatt House locations as I feel that the Category 1 and Category 2 point redemptions can be an amazingly good deal. I've stayed at a lot of converted Amerisuites locations and while many need renovations, they are still a great deal at 3,500-9,500 points per night. a plus when traveling with others is that the bathrooms in Amerisuites properties have an actual door and a fan as well.

Hyatt Places which have stood out as being very nice:
Hyatt Place Salt Lake City/Lehi (this was amazing when it was a category 1; the brewery next door has good food as well and the pool is nice)
Hyatt Place Canton (Ohio) (good breakfast, has a hot tub)
Hyatt Place Kansas City/Lenexa City Center
Hyatt Place Dallas/Rockwall
Hyatt Place East Moline/Quad Cities (elites often get upgraded to a Mississippi river view)
Hyatt Place El Paso Airport (legacy Amerisuites, extremely nice staff)
Hyatt Place Albuquerque/Uptown (does a nonstandard Hyatt breakfast by offering green chile, but it's worth paying the extra points for the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa if available)
Hyatt Place Bowling Green (Kentucky)

Hyatt House locations I've really enjoyed:
Hyatt House Vacaville (California, great service, extremely clean, but currently far from things)
Hyatt House Hartford North/Windsor (Connecticut, almost Massachusetts, driving distance from many things, great saltwater pool)
