It depends on how your points are earned. If you earn them from everyday $ spent on hotel brand credit card, $1 = 1 Marriott point = 3 HH points.

I could pretty much always get better value for the HH points earned thru credit card spent. But I think I get better room upgrade as a Marriott plat than as a HH Diamond.
