I stay around 140 nights per year in hotels, and over 100 of those are in CYs, for some of the following reasons:

- points (duh)
- cheaper than FS Marriotts
- Free internet (I generally refuse to stay in any hotel that charges for internet access)
- Generally a consistent product from hotel to hotel (I have had a few surprises, both good and bad)

I am a very boring person and usually eat the same thing for breakfast every day. My recent experience has been:

Hyatt : oatmeal/coffe/jucie: $27 (including tip)
Mariott FS: $25 including tip
CY: anywhere between $5 and $9 including tip (kinda funny to observe the same hotel, in the same week, with the same server, eating the same thing, results in a wide variation of what I am charged.


I do agree with other posters here about "designed for travelers by travelers" being a joke. What traveler would NOT have a speaker phone as a requirement?

One big beef I have about CY, is that in EVERY ONE I stay in, the AC blows directly on the desk, which can make working for very long there quite uncomfortable!
