The Hilton Toronto can be had for 30,000 HH points or 15,000 AA miles a night.

For 120,000 AA miles you can stay 8 nights.

Moreover, this is not a strong value or compelling deal by HHonors redemption standards. Once you learn the ins and outs of the program , you will do much better.

Additional factors,The U.S. Dollar is very weak and hotel occupancy rates are high in european capitals. I recently took a trip where 10,000 HH points got me rooms for which I would GLADLY have paid $200.
