To clarify I've never found a Hampton Inn for less than 35K a night and I've never paid mroe than 10K a night at a Courtyard - and I cash out MR way more than HH rewards. The only ones I've seen for MR lower end hotels that are higher are in Puerto Rico, Chicago, LA, NYC, etc or other high end locations (I saw a Hampton inn in Johnson city, TN for 35K - ridiculous!).

And I'm also talking plain ole points based off the basis of the program itself as Im required to use my corporate Amex so no bonus points from either credit card program. Marriott gets me farther.

For example, Let's take Waikiki Beach as both have resort properties near each other:
-For this Sunday 13Apr - 18Apr, the following shows up
-Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort - 150K
-Embaassy Suites Waikiki Beach - 240K
-Hilton Waikiki (in town not on the beach) - 240K

Similarly hotels in Dublin, Ireland for the same trip
-Shelbourne (Renaissance) - 150K (and this hotel is on tourist maps it's so swank!)
-Conrad (HH) Dublin - 240K
-Hilton Dublin - 210K

Call me crazy but I'm still confident that my MR points go WAY farther than HH points.
