Indeed, to both UA and AA at the 5:1 ratio mentioned earlier: http://www.choicehotels.com/en/choic....HqfL9gK5Tg.23.

Not my favorite way to use points, however, but for one special trip, I don't think there should be a problem. And, keep in mind, Choice has three properties in San Jose, Costa Rica although nothing around the rest of the country as far as I can tell.
