That's the curious thing about how some HIs are priced. I am using a 15K award in Warsaw in two weeks. This is one of the best properties in the city, and the room rate is US$200+ on the web site. As noted, the same 15K will get you a mediocre HI stateside, worth US$75 a night. In the US, major city HIs like NYC go for 25K a night, though you can get a room for slightly over US$125 on the site.
ICs, which generally go for US$300+ per night in most cities, run 30K.
So you figure.</font>
I totally agree.
One of my favorite award is the Holiday Inn Marina del Rey in Los Angeles, near Venice Beach
It's priced around 80 to 90 dollars, and you get it for 10 000 points.
Makes around 0,8 cents per point.
But we have the same strange things with airline rewards : miles are not having te same value depending if you fly your reward coach or biz.
