I think we went over this once before in another thread.
Ok, I see now, it's a footnote on the page.

And the footnote further explains that you don't even get 5 points for the Choice Visa at non-US Choice properties!

Anyway, at a $70/night property, that therefore works out to:

70x10 = 700 normal points
70x5 = 350 Choice Visa points
1000 = bonus

Total = 2050 points
2050 / 5 = 410 miles.

So only worth it if nobody else that you can afford is offering 500 miles somehow. (Priority Club offers 500 miles for a cheap Candlewood Suites stay, tho only with some European airlines including BA. And they may well double that this summer? And if BW happens to double miles this summer, that would be better too, but right now it's unclear what BW will be doing after May 6.)
