Replying to this necro-thread instead of making a new post, because it seemed like the right one to bump.
I've got an opportunity to burn a ton of air travel this summer, so air is covered, but I am wanting to maximize my hotel dollars/points.
Anyone have leads on cheaper-priced HHonors properties in Europe or other "American-traveler-easy" worldwide destinations?
We've been most everywhere in the U.S., so we are looking to branch out without getting too challenging in our travel since I'll have my gradeschool-age kids with me. Once they go back to school, I'll scout some more rural spots around the world by myself before taking them.
Thanks!

I think only you can decide what is an "American traveller easy" destination, so here is a link that may help you. Simply input your destination country, and it shows all the hotels in the country / city etc and how many points are required.

Good link, thanks! I'm looking for dollar nights. Not points right now, but I'll keep this one bookmarked just the same!

Glancing at local properties in the hopes of getting a rate making the 5,000 points a night bonus worth it, I noticed that the Hilton Garden Inn Research Triangle Park on the Raleigh/Durham border is $64/night for some nights this month.

Through July 16, 2015, you can score an AAA rate of $48.00 per night — including all taxes and fees — at the Hilton Hurghada Resort. Reservations apparently must be booked a minimum of three days in advance to secure this room rate.
I have stayed at this hotel property. It is the only hotel property at which I have ever stayed branded as a Hilton with exterior doors and no interior hallway to access rooms.
Elite status level Hilton HHonors VIP members can receive such amenities as free buffet breakfast in the restaurant as there is no executive lounge; a fruit plate; and a possible free upgrade to a suite. This hotel property has its own private beach on the Red Sea.
If you find yourself in Hurghada, I would recommend staying at this hotel property.

As for whether other hotel and resort properties in the Middle East are running sales as well: Yes; as well as Europe and Africa.

That said...a word of warning for those who use the tool; it's not using real-time data. For example, it lists the Hampton by Hilton Panama as a 5,000 point/night property (category 1), but it received an increase to category 2 (10K/night) on October 14, 2015. The page says that the data is "periodically updated", but that could mean anything...in this case, 6 months and counting!

Don't forget with summer coming up, the Phoenix Hilton properties, especially the ones in the suburbs, will start pricing very cheaply again ^

So, end of the year is approaching and some of us need a stay or two to hit Diamond (too many Priceline stays this year!). With online check-in and virtual keys it would seem location no longer matters for these stays, just need to check-in and get your key, no need to actually show up, right? So, what are some of the cheapest properties anywhere in the world we can use to get a few stays?

Property can tell if the virtual key was used on the property (lift / room etc).
