Seems like there is a significant compromise with respect to location.
I stay there as my number one choice. I think I have stayed there 4 or 5 times. I have only gotten the suite once.
For me the lower points cost originally was the deciding factor. Now, however I admit that I have become very comfortable with the neighborhood, I know where things are and really like the location. With the metro that close IMHO the location works for me. I don't feel like it's a 'significant' compromise.
I do not really like the Champs Elysees location, but other's do. The Renaissance are all catergory 7 or 8 and it's just not worth the extra point to me. Others find them well worth it.
Now the Courtyards do have location disadvantages that have kept me away.
