This hotel has some benefits that I can see, such as being more likely to allow an early check-in and late check-out (plus breakfast while St. George doesn't offer it). We'll be coming from Seoul, Korea (in August) with the plane landing around 6 AM.

And in terms of location, which of these two hotels is better?
Location of St.George is better.

Generally speaking StG is more expensive than U14 on average so if I could stay at StG and save 20k pts, it would be a no brainer to me. The appropriate question should rather be what is a fair premium to pay for StG over U14, which is not the case here.

Don't get me wrong I like U14 but StG would be closer to being considered a luxury hotel.
