22 US Hyatt Place Hotels May Become Sonestas

Been on a Bonus Journeys mattress run near Dulles Airport, especially the HP in Sterling. Both Sterling Dulles Airport North and Chantilly Dulles Airport South are among the cheapest Hyatt properties in northern Virginia on any given day, so it will be unfortunate to lose them as Hyatt mattress runs will definitely cost more in the future.

Totally forget their were two hyatt places basically across the street from each other in north austin, glad the one i like is the one remaining a hyatt.

I think there's a spelling mistake in your list of properties. After Charlotte Lake Airport, it should be spelled Mount Yanny.

Most of these are Hyatt Category 1 hotels. It'd be a big lost to the list for those who like redeeming nights for 5000 points.

SVC is an aggressive company, but if somebody followed there stock value over the past years, it's easy to look back at much better times of that company!
Compared to the worth of there stock value it dropped dramatic in the last years by over 50%.
So maybe this is the aggressive way to try to beat others in the Property business?
Sonesta Hotels as one of there brands is luckily not wide spread outside the US as the big majority of there properties are nothing special and mostly averaged.

@Quo Vadis?

I am doing a mattress soon in NOVA. Of the two (Sterling Dulles Airport North &Chantilly Dulles Airport South) which property was easiest to deal with?

Hyatt Place is one of the best select service hotels IMO.

They are among the most consistent properties and are always clean and up to date.

I have stayed at many Hyatt Places and have only positive things to say.

Interesting. I stayed at the Hyatt Place in Duluth, GA near Gwinnett Place Mall in October, 2019. Strange design. It's the only hotel room I've ever stayed in that had a design where the bathroom was up against the outer wall of the building next to a window instead of close to the door into the room. Sadly, it wasn't in the best shape (my bathroom door wouldn't close all the way). For the $110 a night they were charging, I do expect better than that.

Also of note, this particular hotel is in an area with a bunch of other places (15 other hotels are located close to Exit 104 (Pleasant Hill Road) off of I-85). There are already 2 Sonesta properties within a mile and change of this place. There's a 10 or so story hotel on the other side of the interstate that's been a Sonesta since at least 2017 (and probably earlier), while they recently (within the last year or so) took over a former Candlewood Suites (likely part of that group of 103). My best guess is the Hyatt Place in Duluth gets rebranded as one of the Red Lion brands once the aforementioned purchase goes through.

Now if only Sonesta could add a property that anyone cared about staying at...

I will say, the Colorado Springs Garden of the Gods location is a nice inexpensive mattress run location for me.

SVC has done this with ton of properties as we know. My question is, is this minimum return agreement standard with most hotels ? If so, is this why flags change and we usually don't hear about it because it's not 150 hotels at once?

@Brian G,

If you're doing a multi-week mattress run, might as well check both of them out. Stayed at the HP in Chantilly back in October and thought it was meh overall, the curved shower curtain rod was loose and sagged a little, and the breakfast was only cold items. The HP in Sterling does cold breakfast also, but is usually a little cheaper and much closer to where we live, so we've mostly stayed there. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rank the HP in Sterling one point higher.

FYI, if you ever redeem 5000 points for a Category 1, local-area Hyatt, check out the Hyatt Regency Dulles. The rooms there are pretty nice, offer good views of Dulles airport (if you get a high-floor room facing that way) and an open swimming pool. They charge $8/night for parking but it should be waived through Feb 28 on award stays. Hyatt Place Herndon/Dulles Airport-East also charges for overnight parking, but they offer hot breakfast (one serving of scrambled eggs and sausage links when you turn in your coupon/voucher). Looked like Ethiopian Airlines booked their flight attendants there (Herndon/Dulles East) when we stayed.

I have a points booking at one of these properties in July. What would happen with my stay?

@Quo Vadis?

Thank you so much that was helpful.

Apart from changing the brand of toiletries will there be any noticeable changes for guests?

I could have sworn that I saw a couple of people setting up a laptop/camera in front of the Hyatt Place in Page, AZ and taking the first pic to this article...?

The Dallas North location is where the 'trial' breakfast offering changes started, I alerted Leff about it after a confusing stay where, at the time, my Explorist status was all that got me the crappy continental breakfast. It seems they've been pushing the Hyatt buttons for some time now, why would Hyatt give up now?

Ben did this happen?

Well Sonesta better do something about Austin North!, cause they offer Nothing that they say they offer!!! They do offer however a green pool, whose pumps don’t work and they don’t own a net on the pool skimmer to skim the top of the pool! It’s a joke!!!
