Any advice would be most appreciated.
I generally like staying at Marriott properties and have around 150 nights this year. I have also been staying at Intercontinental properties from time to time and they really give the most points. I have done 33 nights this year and earned 150,000 points. They are also quite easy to redeem and I was even able to get the Intercontinental Barclay in NYC for New Years Eve for 30,000 points just last month.
I like Marriott for conisitency and quality, but I often check tripadvisor.com for Intercontinental properties that have great reviews in an area and book them if they seem good.
