Not in this order.
I rarely stay at the same hotel more than one night unless I'm on vacation with others because I get bored in the same spot. Most of my trips are 5-7 nights and I'll likely stay in a similar amount of hotels. You get more points (diamond amenity) and more variety. #shrug I generally live out of my rimowa and packing up takes a min or so when I leave. Not too big of a deal. My next trip will probably be: HRSF, HRsFO, Napa, HRSC, Emoryville.. As an example.
One other quick one: having one night stays makes canceling them and relocating super quick and easy bs cutting a longer stay short. iE I want to stay in the city .. Reservation canceled and rebooked. Most of my bookings have noon, 3pm or 24 hour cancelation windows
