Limited service properties on Oahu are usually not good places to use 35K FNAs, even with a 15K "Top Off." Oahu nights are almost always above 50K. That's not surprising,
Residence Inn Oahu Kapolei is sometimes available for 50K points or below. It's a nice base for exploring parts of the Island that are away from Waikiki. That said, when rooms on Oahu are at or below 50K, it tends to be better to pay the cash rate.
Marriott has 8,100+ Marriott Bonvoy properties. The vast majority cost 50K points or less. I assume that the majority cost 35K points or less — that includes very nice full-service properties in the United States.
