Some conversion samples from highest to lowest money value per point from €0.00798 to €0,00247 per HH point. Please note the room availability calendar ("flexible dates" option) seems not to show standard room reward rates, only either lowest premium room reward rates or standard (money) rates (in Hilton Honors points mode).

The value per point is not consistent, but it is obvious that Premium Room Rewards have 30-50% less value than Standard Room Rewards, at one hotel I found even 70% less value for a premium room reward rate compared to a standard room reward rate (La Bagnaia, Italy).
