My free-form, not forced choice or forced-ranking feedback, would be more like:
- The Hyatt upper-end properties have all but priced themselves out of being my first choice if reasonably possible at all (and for 25 years they were).
- This is on top of the smaller footprint (which in relative terms might be getting worse many places).
- Many, maybe most, concierge clubs are closing (which were the oasis that really helped keep me going in heavy business travel years).
- The second-level properties like HP and HH as a group are not all the clear industry leaders they used to be (and some are getting just worn out).
- Not to mention, despite having been a bottom in bed Diamond/Glob for most of the last 25 years, I'm somehow still not all that close to Lifetime. (Which perennial second-choice Marriott crowned me years ago). I'm probably just bitter about that after all the 100+ night years I bunked with Hyatt.
