Thanks for the helpful responses. Too bad the hotels sound so disorganized. I’m not sure how foreign tourists are able to navigate this. But I figure if they can do it I can do it.

Just a quick question at what price do people think it’s justified to use points? Maybe I’ll just change hotels for the sake of convienence, though I assume the ones connected are very expensive. The bulk of my staying is at ibis. Are any of the hotels I mentioned sub-par?
