I wouldn't as that would be a very poor use of points for a few reasons:

1. It is a short stay which burns more points per night.

2. It is a weekend stay, when rates are usuaully lower. $119.95/night at Buttes.

3. At 55K points for 2 nights at Buttes category 6 works out to 0.4¢/point which is waaaaayyyy below my minimum point value requirement of 2¢/point.
