overpriced AI with hit or miss food and a long ride from the most interesting restaurants sounds like a nightmare to me. you all are making sure I never stay here huh?

we plan entire vacations around eating so this is not the place for us. this spring: hong kong and taiwan… no hgvc or AI but we will do just fine :)
Stay there 2 nights with Hhonors points and Diamond Elite to get free breakfast. Get the 175,000 presentation points to pay for the 2 nights = almost free stay.

And, for us, eating is a minor side activity, so we don't factor that into our planning. We just stayed at a Hyatt AI in Cozumel and the food was quite good. But it just worked out that way. And that's why there are different offerings as we all value different things on vacation.

Cheers.

And I think that is good that we all don't like the same places or activities otherwise we would all be trying to stay at the same places.

Agreed. But it is a known fact that W. 57th sucks for everyone, so no one should go there :)

Cheers.
