Just like any hotel chain, the quality varies. I've stayed in some CYs domestically that were every bit as good as some of the FS hotels, and I've stayed in a few clunkers. I've stayed in some really good Hamptons, and I've stayed in a few that might as well have been a Motel 6.

As for breakfast, my recent experience is that in a give area the CY tends to be slightly less money than the Hampton - enough to pay for breakfast. And I've found a handful of CYs will either discount or comp breakfast for certain elite members...
