I was disappointed to see (quite by accident) that the Budapest Marriott had been "promoted" from 4 to 5. I had planned to use my 2 "free weekend nights" there this spring. The view of the Danube, Buda Castle, and the chain bridge is gorgeous!
I wonder if it's worthwhile asking about the point made by NJUPINTHEAIR to see if an exception could be made to allow those to be used there despite the upgrade of the property to Category 5? </font>
Hotels are placed in a category based upon a ratio of points awarded by the hotel vs points redeemed at the hotel. The categories are updated once a year.
