- “I often show up at Hyatts late and dirty and tired and they welcome me like the Queen of England. "Hello, Ms. Dunwichit. Thank you for being an Explorist. Please enjoy some free water! You look like you need it!"” 1
- “not a gigantic bathroom though I found that most Suites really just do not have big bathrooms see me complain about that a lot on the channel I know it's first world problems but it is something I point out” On camera29:59

- “For our short stay found room to be comfortable as well as breakfast being a step up from HP.” 10
- “okay guys let's give this a try our oyster as you can see it's not as big as I thought it'll be but it looks like a a really fresh one so this is one of our chef's special let's give it a try very good very fresh and the cilantro and the lemon juice and I don't know what exact what's the other one but some a little bit of some tomato Pine chopped tomato and really good so I like it” On camera1418:50
- “I will say, at Hyatt House Frankfurt Eschborn in Germany, the free breakfast was German enough that this issue didn't apply. GREAT European coffee along with other local stuff that covered our needs with jus” 1
- “Food selection is quite limited compared to other grand clubs.” 5
- “For us non globalist laypeople the free breakfast in the morning is just too good value to pass up, even if it is worse than a breakfast I could make at home- food is food and there's always an option to eat less if planning to save room for a bite while on vacation.” 1
- “While I do sometimes miss the sit-down breakfast offered when there's no club, I was impressed by the quality of the food.” 13
- “Breakfast is almost back to pre-pandemic, except the hot course was pre-packaged (scrambled eggs, potatoes and bacon one day, sausage the next). The coffee was good (as always).” 18
- “I realize the buffet breakfast is not true restaurant quality and won't suffice if that's the preference. It is not and will never be. For my non discriminating family, it's usually good enough.” 1

- “As for Hyatt Place, there was no food yet at the hotel, but maybe there is now or will be by August.” 15
- “I will say, at Hyatt House Frankfurt Eschborn in Germany, the free breakfast was German enough that this issue didn't apply. GREAT European coffee along with other local stuff that covered our needs with just enough foreign panache.” 1

- “HR restaurants are not really our thing. I usually find them disappointing, generic, and wildly overpriced.” 1

- “The Hyatt Place Page is a hidden gem in Arizona, and is 100% worth the $135 I paid for 1 night in their 2 Queen Bed Standard Room.” 3
- “Hotel is far enough from old town etc - so I would suggest either waymo/lyft/uber combo to get around - off hours waymo ridiculously cheap or get a car - honestly not really anything walking distance.” 5
- “For example HR downtown Chicago is a couple thousand rooms and they obviously can't fill the place up year round so it's only tier 3 but it's a great location and value and nicely kept up.” 1
