Choice Privileges, Best Western Rewards, Club Carlson and Starwood's SPG (due mostly to Design Hotels) are the best of the US programs for my award stays in Scandinavia.
Choice is great for redeeming for award stays; but for earning points in Scandinavia, it's literally the worst of the mentioned four programs.
Best Western has a large number of properties in Scandinavia, and covers large and small cities pretty well.
Choice has maybe 10-15% more properties in this region than Best Western has in the region. Carlson seems to me to have fewer properties in this region than Best Western.
Nordic Choice hotel breakfasts are a necessary obligation due to the brand requirements of the Nordic Choice group. And where the complimentary supper is present at Nordic Choice hotels, it's a requirement due to the Nordic Choice group's brand standard for Clarion Collection properties in the region. Nordic Choice manages the breakfast requirements in very specific detail.
