Probably right Globalist breakfast will be a 2 dollar credit to use anyway you wish
and a box of complimentary corn flakes daily for one
All kidding aside now that the breakfast credit can be poor in some select Hyatt hotels
I’ve actually moved 50% of my business
back to Hilton and Marriott with some interesting new ihg properties Kimptons etc.
I’ve really discovered some sweet spots in other programs
See Hyatt as penny wise pound foolish.Historically I hadn’t.
That said there are some fantastic Hyatt’s still doing a great job for the guest
I go out to eat for breakfast outside the hotel some of the time now and just focus on location ,hard product and pricing
With the new seasonal award increases it could potentially yet erode more of my business in the future
In the past breakfast and a competitive redemption rate kept me locked into the 90 to 100 night treadmill
Saw the Hyatt point currency as more valuable consistently
Rarely do I park a car and yes destination resort fee waived can sway me if the experience is solid
The pandemic and reducing in house benefits really disrupted much of that for this traveller
Andaz Wall Street fell from their high throne long ago sadly.It’s decline started long ago when they closed their premium elegant restaraunt and gutted the fitness center
and a box of complimentary corn flakes daily for one

I can't visualize any scenario that would have me staying here. The hotel's physical condition was very poor last time I was here, and that was over five years ago. I can just imagine how much worse it's gotten.

Perhaps we’ll see a Hyatt Wall Street in the not so distant future?

In another thread, bcosinteno mentioned that it would be rebranded to Centric in the near future.

It could easily be a Hyatt or a Centric. Maybe even a JdV… but that seems even less appropriate as a brand. Same for Unbound.
