The Bentley is a GREAT hotel to use points for during tourist season. I used some points a QF3N there in late March and the rate was $625 a night plus tax if I had booked it on my own. Great deal for two QF3n's and 50K points.
The Bentley also treats HH diamonds good for a domestic hilton. The free mojitos and appetizers are nice at friday happy hour, the breakfast is pretty good and the bottle of wine they leave in your room is a nice touch.
Another good domestic property to use points and QF3N's at is the DT Times Square, especially on New Years. This past new years eve my stay would have cost $7,500 just for New Years Eve night alone and I was able to get four nights for an AXON award at something like 125K points. Even during other times rooms can cost over $500 a night depending on what is going on in NYC.
