I thought HP was going to position itself up in the Residence Inn category, if not a smidge higher? I wouldn't expect 'em to be pricing head-to-head with SHS. Isn't Hyatt keeping alive another brand for that? (Seems like Hyatt has a bunch of long-stay brands, a couple of which I don't really understand the difference between.)

Anyway, the way HP is being described - at least in the initial materials I've seen - I'd guess they're setting it up to be a $200/nt. kind of place. When I think Res Inn, I think $160-170. When I think SHS, I think $130-150. (Obviously this is a rough generalization based on an average suburban location where these types of properties tend to cluster.)

Does HP actually supply HD programming to the plasmas? I stayed in a FS Marriott a couple weeks ago that had a nice 37" LCD in the room...but the hotel only had SD programming. Kind of a waste...
