With all the fan fare and glossy ads in tech monthlies like Wired we figured it was time we took a look past the automatic doors at a real live Hyatt Place.

The above is our thirty second tour of Hyatt Place Boston. While the rooms, with their promise of 42" HDTV and DirecTV are definitely worth a follow up tour, this time we focused on the much talked about Hyatt Place lobby. The promised free WiFi was smooth and was being heavily utilized by the surprising number of lobby dwellers. The "Grab and Go" kitchen reminded us of an airport eatery -- wine, beer, coffee, and cafe food were available.

Oh, and Hyatt wants everybody to call the lobby a "Gallery". Sound familiar? That is because W tries to force everyone to refer to their lobbies as "Living Rooms". Gallery, Living Room, Lobby, whatever you want to call it Hyatt Place has done a decent job dressing up what was once a totally out of date AmeriSuites hotel. And yes, the lobby was bustling with business ready Gen Xers who paid under $150 a night, so Hyatt may be on to something.
