Really some solid Chinese properties, including the IC Ruijin. The CP Xishuangbanna looks nice as well, as does the Indigo Xiamen (although probably not so great this time of year).
I do not recommend the CP Tianjin Jinnan at all - it's in the middle of nowhere surrounded by factories and is in one of the dirtiest parts of town.
Acapulco looks nice this time of year, even if the property seems decidedly average.
Really annoying how there is practically no preview of the US properties.
Has anyone stayed at the HIX Phuket? It looks kind of tacky, but a good location and good value at 5k/night.

Is the Holiday Inn Express Gent in a bad location from City Center would much rather stay here for 5000 points rather then Marriott Gent for 30,000 points but the Marriott is right in the center of town

Any thoughts on the Crowne Plaza Prague? Is it too far away for sightseeing and visiting the Christmas markets?

I'd say it's more of a tram ride than walking distance away from the town centre, but there's a tram stop (or bus stop, one of them) just outside the hotel and the Metro station isn't far away. Certainly not as convenient as the IC, but it's fine particularly for 5k.
