Shangri-La hotels in Asia are terrific, and the Oberoi chain in India is excellent.

Last time I looked, Shangri-La gave 1500 Qantas FF points per stay, so no problem there!

For myself, I'd go for the points. I've had great service at some mid-range hotels and, honestly, how many TV sets and bathrooms can one person use?! Higher class hotels tend to charge more for extras that work (at least, places I've worked) won't pay for anyhow, so it's just more out of pocket expense for me if I want a drink or whatever.

I'd prefer to stay somewhere comfortable and get points that I can use later when on holiday.
