I just noticed that the hotel we stay at no longer offers "standard" room awards and is charging up 85K points per night for a standard room in a cat 7. During this prime season rooms should be available for 60K

This only concerns me because if the AXON7 is no longer valid we will be finding a new vacation spot. I won't have the 190K to book an Axon 7 until mid July so until then I won't know for sure.

Doubletree North Redington Beach, hotel is nothing special, location and staff are awesome.

Is this an isolated incident or are other Hilton family hotels playing this game ?

I also noticed they are not honoring 5th night free

I booked 5 nights in November 2014 on 3/14/2014 for 160k, today , 2 months later same room type, same dates, 236,595 points
