Unhappy

Well it already started technically. Standard room point redemption rates have gone up a lot without any announcement last year for multiple hotels. The only thing remaining is another unannounced change overnight where the highest standard rate point redemption goes from 150K/night to like 175k/night or so. The 150k for a standard room redemption was unannounced and happened overnight last year for the WA Maldives iirc.

You're better off, if you really want to stay in Hilton hotels, getting discounts from OTAs and other sources.
