We spent the second night of our road trip in Page, Arizona, primarily so we could visit Horseshoe Bend. As we quickly learned, the real treat was just being able to drive around this part of the country, as the scenery is breathtaking. Page has virtually every limited service hotel brand you could think of,…

I have come to love Hyatt Place hotels and have stayed at many different locations. Always very spacious rooms, friendly staff and great breakfasts, although I haven't experienced a stay since the pandemic started. Never a stupid "destination fee" no matter the location, always feels like good value for money. I would genuinely rather stay at a Hyatt Place than a fancier up market hotel, I am not going to be hanging around in the hotel much wherever I am and don't need an onsite restaurant.
In light of the current travel restrictions do you still value Hyatt points at 1.5c/pt? I feel like that should be adjusted down by about 20-30% to 1.2c. Similarly with most of the points/miles currencies across the board.
For the first time I have too many points (if that's such a thing) and no ability to spend them. I've actually started to redeem citi points for statement credits at 1c/pt.
@Ben might be time to dust off the old Hyatt chart. Been a while since any of us have stayed at a Hyatt so no shame in a little rust. Isn’t a category 3 property 12,000 and not 8,000 points? If so, that makes the choice to pay cash pretty obvious unless you are sitting on a huge amount of Hyatt points.
This Hyatt is a category 3 and therefore 12,000 points a not, not 8,000 as written above.
Many of the newer Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties arent so bad given they are limited service. I would avoid the more dated ones though...
I stayed at Park Hyatt Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra around 2 weeks ago. Across the 3 hotels only 1 person was wearing a mask. In fairness, in Australia we are not required to wear masks, however given Hyatt has issued a global directive I was surprised they were not wearing them. I work for a US MNC and once we return to the office we will be required to wear masks - irrespective of local laws and even at client site. The company will provide 2 masks per person per day - so I am surprised that given Hyatt is a global company they are not mandating it.
Yeah limited service brands are sometimes fun. Like many new Hampton Inn can be decent Hilton Garden Inn, too.
Oh, one of the new HPs with the much smaller rooms. Almost a Holiday Inn Express room, but without all the breakfast choices at a HIX. I'll pass.
The best part of Hyatt Place, Page IMO is its lobby (so is the one in Moab). These two properties' lobby is designed in a way different from the traditional cookie-cutter HP style. Their rooms, however, are nothing out of this world.
"There was also an outdoor terrace just off the lobby… look at those views!"
You're right, that view of the electrical substation is totally cool...I guess. I don't want to sound like a prick but when you're on the Colorado Plateau, you should be more selective on what views you choose to market as worthwhile. There are just so many that actually *are* amazing. That photo and view was...just a view
"Page has virtually every limited service hotel brand you could think of..."
I would love a rates/points comparison of the various limited services properties in one of the cities you visited. My hypothesis is that Marriott properties are much more expensive on a points basis. It's difficult to use a Bonvoy free night certificate domestically. Would be insightful to see where the value lies.
I don’t understand the logic of the way the bedrooms are laid out. This hotel has a nice view — so you put the bed right next to the window, even though you mostly occupy it at night with the curtains closed and while you’re asleep.
But the soft furnishings and dining table/ desk — you put those in the part of the room furthest away from the view and natural light, even though those are the facilities you’d mostly use during the day?
I’m not picking on this hotel: the vast majority seem to do it that way. Seems utterly bizarre to me.
Though I mostly use these hotels for work, and it’s frustrating when I’m in the room most of the day but the view (and natural light/ fresh air) is so far away.
I like the bed farther away from the door to the room. As a woman, it's a thing.
At the same time, I give bonus points for doing both where the desk AND bed is next to the window but the tv watching area is not.
So you complained to the hotel about employees not wearing masks... yet you say that you feel sorry for all of these travel emoloyees getting laid off, etc... all the while, YOU are part of the problem by traveling around and potentially spreading the cooties. The only way to ensure that you are not part of the problem of spreading the cooties is to shelter in place. I don't understand how you can care for others so little.
I don't understand the logic of reviewing a hotel these days. The standards and compliance won't be the same as in normal times and you can't expect it to be. This also looks similar to American locations of Marriott Courtyard.
So... You're in Page. Have you booked Amangiri? You're too close not to.
It's still likely the best Aman out there. F&B aside.
Im SHOCKED you went all the way to Arizona and Utah and didnt stay at AMANGIRI.......
even kylie jenner beat you to it, check her IG Amangiri looks incredible
The rooms at Hyatt Place are not larger than usual - the design makes room for the L-shaped sofa by moving the closet across from the bed and making the bathroom smaller. With the smaller bathroom, Hyatt Place can also fit sofas into double queen rooms too, which usually only have room for a single armchair.
Page wasn't even a place until the Glen Canyon dam construction started in 1957, this was created to house the workers and then it stuck around. Hard to find much charm in a desert town that's 60 years old. But then I know someone from Page and she's totally forgettable, much like the town.
