I am considering a mattress run, which I have never done before.

Are you aware of any SPG Category 1 hotel that would be fine with a 'remote' check-in? On either a prepaid stay or a points stay?
Maybe one of the keyless hotels would work?

Do you have any other ideas that would get me the nights I need? Staying in my regular hotels is too expensive, not an option.

thank you!
Technically, you need just extra nights. Mattress run implies jumping between props to qualify each stay as separate per T&C. You may just go to a cheap place and book like 3 rooms for 1 night, check in and leave. You don't need to be there for the checkout.
