I avoid CYs whenever possible. I just don't understand this brand at all.

I laugh out loud every time I hear the ads that say "Designed by business travelers by business travelers." I wonder what kind of business travelers would design a hotel without a bar and where you have to pay $12 for a crappy breakfast.

I'd rather move either up or down in the Marriott line. For a few dollars more, I can move the FS Marriott or Ren and get access to the Concierge lounge and a free breakfast.

Or, for a few dollars LESS, I can move the Fairfield or SHS, get essentially the same room as a CY and enjoy the free breakfast buffet.
