Does anyone really like Hyatt, Hilton, or IHG?

Context is, I am the highest you can get on Marriott and have not been impressed. I’ve switched ambassadors and still don’t find them worthwhile vs. personal research. Just used the last of my points at a resort for 2 weeks, and it didn’t feel like they even got the basics right. All in all, interested in a change when we go back to traveling.

Hyatt globalist, absolutely love the status. The treatment I get is vastly better than Marriott Titanium, which I also have.

like

100% agree. Loved SPG and have close to 1,000 lifetime nights. Have now completely switched from Marriott to Hyatt where possible and it feels so much like the old SPG. Very happy

Thanks everyone! Hyatt here I come.

Hyatt points also worth much more too. If you have UR points, this is an optimal value.

I don't have status at Hyatt, but always enjoy their hotels. And their beds.

Lifetime Plat at Marriott but enjoy my stays at hyatt more, even without status

I’ll make lifetime Platinum next year, I think as soon as we start traveling again I’ll switch to Hyatt.

I am a ambassador as well and find Marriott to be overrated for status. One mistake they make imo is make the perks no different for titanium and ambassador. Also they have really devalued points it seems.
I have heard multiple people rave on Hyatt as if we travel will look at them. Biggest upside to marriot is the amount of hotels in any type of city worldwide.

The Your24 is the biggest difference and I used that often. It would piss me off when I would land and check in at midnight but still have to check out at 4pm

Marriott fucked me for the last time this week. I had my suite nights confirmed Saturday for a 2 night stay. They canceled them the day of check in - wtf. I call and it’s just oh well we upgraded you to the same room you booked with a view so... My boy friend called the Hyatt same day as check in as a globalist and got us a suite instantly. It’s beautiful the entire hotel and staff have been awesome and very very clean. Feel safe and happy.

I’m done. Fuck you marriott. Hyatt is the new black.

I’ve loved Hilton personally. Don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience that they didn’t rectify the best they could.

like

I've been a HHonors (Hilton-owned hotels) for almost 20 years. I'm a diamond member and I am always treated with the utmost respect at the hotels. My son used to work for Hilton and he told me that the employees are told that diamond members are to be given 5-star treatment everytime they stay in one of their hotels.

like

It is a lot faster to ge get lifetime at marriott. Hilton's loyalty program has fallen behind big time

I am Ambassador with Marriott, used to be a Hilton guy - i do a challenge/match every year with Hilton using my Marriott status to keep my Diamon status. Marriott is good bc they have properties everywhere and using points is much cheaper than Hilton. I heard Hyatt has the best loyalty program by far, problem is that they dont have a lot of hotels

like

I think OP’s question is if given the choice.
Who cares if Marriott has a lot of hotels if I’m not being rewarded to stay at the ones I want to stay at? Hyatt has hotels anywhere I want to vacation and use the benefits of that loyalty program. It’s nice that there’s a Marriott property for my project in Eu Claire, but after three months there I might have earned enough for one night at the hotel Bora Bora at High season.
Load up with Hyatt whenever you can

Definitely - I’m going to be a Hyatt guy now!!

No one is Hyatt Globalist. Therefore get Hyatt Globalist. You get all the upgrades. They also have the simplistic lifetime requirement.

like

I have the spire elite in IHG and it’s terrible. IHG does not have a proper upgrade process and lot of their properties are individually owned but operated under the IHG brand. I have stayed in multiple kimptons and I have gotten upgrades only a handful of times
A positive is that their point conversion to receive free nights is really good

Lifetime Globalist at Hyatt and Ambassador at Marriott. Hyatt by a lap.

Does Hyatt do a Marriott status match?

Hyatt

Hyatt has great high end properties, better treatment of top tier members but also a much smaller footprint than Marriott.

The bottom quality tier among Hyatt properties is better than ~1/3 of Marriott properties IMO. Even the ‘lower end’ stuff like Place and House tend to be < 10 yrs old and in better shape.

IHG or Hilton... yeah not sure why you would do that.

Hyatt, but their reservation tech sucks and they aren’t in a lot of places, so you’ll want a backup program
