40k might not get you far these days - a topic that I vented about elsewhere - but it is 40k.... and for those who need to stay in a RI or CY anywhere but a major city or resort for some family thing then it might not be a bad deal..... not sure it works for me, but I did stay in a very nice Marriott just outside of ORD last year - the room was great - a suite, free breakfast...no issues with my large dog......and for 15k!
