The only chain hotel in my better half's hometown is part of the Country Hearth Inn & Suites (
http://www.countryhearth.com/). The particular location we stay at is not quite as nice as a Holiday Inn Express, but is considerably nicer than some Choice properties I've stayed at. It also has a very reasonable pet policy, which is a plus for us.
The Country Hearth chain is apparently one of the chains that are part of the Best Rest Rewards program:

The other chains in this program are Vagabond Inn, Vagabond Inn Executive, Budgetel Inns & Suites, America's Best Inns & Suites and the 3 Palms Hotels & Resorts.
Does anyone know anything about this program? Is it worth signing up for?
(Apologies if advance if this a dupe, but I did a couple of searches of FT and wasn't able to find any past threads.
