Hilton points are good at aspirational properties where you would never pay the cash rate, but you can come on Flyertalk or a blog and say that you received X per point in "value".
You will rarely, if ever, find a regular hotel where the cash rate looks good, but the points price looks so much better that you decide to use points.
