There isn't a room at any Hampton in New York during the week for less than 350 dollars, and that's why you were booked in cash and points. My rule is never use points or miles if the price is cheap. On Hilton points, the Waldorf Astoria in Key West, Fl. ,
is $520 a night or 80,000 points. The points and cash option only comes up if that rate is available.
