+1.
What is your situation? Are clients paying for your stays? Are you running your own business?
Living in hotels adds quite a bit to expenses - meals, taxes/fees, possibly parking, occasionally long driving/tolls etc etc...
Most likely you'll be better off just renting a furnished studio - you'll save enough money to simply buy whatever equivalent in points you'll earn and without headaches and plenty of flexibility. Status adds some perks but not that much (and in other chains it's even less) and all those perks can be easily bought.
