Will Run for Miles is the deal finder today with a redemption oddity playing out for the new Hyatt House Chelsea in New York City taking reservations for stays from January 3, 2017. I will let pictures tell the story and go to Will Run for Miles for details, especially if you plan to book award nights at these category 2 rates.

Not a deal I will be trying to take advantage of, but might be a steal deal for you.
Hyatt Gold Passport has Hyatt House NY Chelsea hotel listed as category 2 on their website, so reward night rate seems correct. New York hotels are actually in a rate slump lately according to hotel industry news. Not that rates posted here indicate any kind of slump.
Update: Hyatt Gold Passport changed the hotel reward category to Category 5 on their website within 18 hours of this post. The hotel is now listed at 20,000 points per reward night.
I think Hyatt caught on. I tried booking but will not process and get error when trying to redeem points. If others have luck, please comment!
Hyatt House New York Chelsea was recategorized by Hyatt Gold Passport to Category 5 at 20,000 points per night today. I have a feeling Kathy of Will Run for Miles will get her stay at 8,000 points.
