My bad.
My intention was to post that it was owned by (old name) Host Marriott; managed by Hyatt as an example two (essentially) competing entities collaborating.
(As an outsider I tend to think of Host & Marriott Intl. collectively as "Marriott".)
BTW, for my edification - regarding ..."however the hotel is not a franchise...it is still run by Hyatt." begs a question.
If "X" Hotel Corp. owns a property that's flagged as a Marriott FS and Marriott Intl. is managing it, if "franchise" is not correct insofar as describing the property what terminology would be correct?
