Well, I just tentatively booked 1 night, Dec 31-Jan 1 for 100K points. But the cancellation policy is a bit insane, as I have until 11:59PM Dec 1st, to cancel without penalty. A 30 day cancellation requirement for a locale that has plenty of competition seems out of touch.

Under normal circumstances, I don't think I've ever used my points for any of these higher category hotels; 100K/night is pretty high up there. But, the location would be perfect for us to walk from the Burj Khalifa Fountains for the NY's fireworks after midnight. I don't look forward to possibly having to carry/drag 2 kids under the age of 9 after the show to my existing location at the Radisson Blu, but the cancellation policy seems a bit extreme.

I will likely cancel, as the entire trip is up in the air due to Omicron variant and whatever hoops I may have to jump through to go through 3 countries... but it would be nice if I can check this out.
