Also, premium room rewards here can also often be lower than the standard points rate.
No, there is no reason whatsoever to be happy about this, unless you were using BMG or free standard room award.
In fact we should be even less happy because points cost looks like it has overall INCREASED (lowest redemption prior was 40K points).
This is just a way they did a workaround to wiggle around the rules again. Every other Hilton Hotel provides solid point rates based on the month. This one just charges 20K-80k points extra when the cash rate is more. You will NEVER get a good points rate when the cash rate is high.
