I called the hotel directly (the Hilton downtown and the HGI Vanderbilt) and got put on waitlists. I ended up using the diamond force at the Hilton Suites Brentwood because it was $319 a night versus $500 downtown. I'd checked early and often, and call just to double confirm if you want to use points.
Hamptonn Inn DT is showing point available, only 22.5 for me since Ill be there a week, just a little hesitant to pull the trigger on it 11months in adv. That and the fact I would like the Hilton but seems unlikely on points.

Gonna have to think about it a bit more now, thanks!
