Located just minutes from the Chicago O'Hare Airport and a short walk from the Blue Line “L Train" offering easy access to downtown Chicago and all the excitement of the city. The hotel is situated in Rosemont featuring the Village of Rosemont which includes Parkway Bank Park, Allstate Arena, the Fashion Outlets of Chicago and more. - 

The Westin O'Hare Hotel Review

We needed a place to stay after a red-eye, where we used 30k points and a free night award. With a free airport shuttle, a recent renovation & location close to shops, it is a great 'airport' hotel base.

Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel Review

Renaissance Atlanta airport is a great overnight base if you are going to a Dream WNBA game or need a room close to the airport.

"Crockfords heralds a new standard for Las Vegas luxury overlooking the world-famous Strip. Talk-of-the-town shopping and nightlife, globally inspired fine dining, star-studded residency performances, and next-generation gaming are steps away." - 

Crockford West Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts One Bedroom Review

), I used my $200 Amex Fine Hotels & Resort towards a 3-night stay totaling $824.43 ($838.56 rate + $185.87 resort fees - $200 Amex credit). We were preemptively upgraded from a Superior Room to a One Bedroom Suite in CrockFord West which was nice. Of the 3 Resorts World hotels, Crockford still remains our favorite, despite the diminishing food options & a $45 resort fee that provides no additional value.

"Take in water views from within the beautiful and relaxing setting of Story Hotel Studio Malmö, located in the city center and offering joyful, service-minded staff who can help make your stay comfortable." - 

Story Hotel Studio Malmö Hotel Review

For the start of our 5-country Europe anniversary trip we booked Story Hotel Studio Malmö as it was 3,500 Hyatt points per night. With a complimentary upgrade to a King Bed Oceanview room, free breakfast for all, nearby train station, this hotel is an ideal base for a few days visiting the Swedish city.

Great place for ramen if you are in the area. 

Inspired by the city’s pioneering past and a local culture that is forever moving forward, The Trade an Autograph Collection® Hotel by Marriott pays homage to the hardworking history and modern spirit of today’s Milwaukee. -  

Avoid the "Craft" restaurant and bar one hour before any event at Fiserv Forum as it gets very busy.

Trade Hotel: An Autograph Collection Hotel by Marriott Review

Booked a 2-night stay to attend the Celtics v Bucks game. Perfect location for quick access to Fiserv Forum.

Nice, new hotel built with NBA players in mind with high ceilings & wide hallways. With a few tweaks to the in-room amenities (add slippers & toiletries) & faster communication, it could be a highly-ranked mid-level hotel in Milwaukee.

The Hotel Figueroa is a historic boutique hotel nestled in the heart of downtown Los Angeles near the fashion district. Opened in 1926 as a female-only hostel, it offered women the rare freedom to live unrestrained lives. Over ninety years later, the hotel continues as the city’s proud hub for creativity. - 

Hotel Figueroa Hotel Review 

For our first time in DTLA, we stayed at 

. For our second time in DTLA, for a game, we decided to try out Hotel Figueroa.

Nice boutique hotel with pleasant staff & a good location (walkable to arena). The rooms are rather small so we intentionally booked a 1 bedroom suite for more space. 

Would definitely stay here again when in DTLA.

Stay in the heart of downtown near all the excitement that makes Miami a global destination. The city’s best dining, nightlife, arts and entertainment are steps away from your unobstructed waterfront views.

The Elser Hotel Review

We were looking for a downtown Miami hotel that could accommodate 6 people. Stumbled upon the Elser & booked directly with their 30% off 4-night promo. At $600/night our 3-bedroom suite was what we needed for our post-cruise family holiday. The hotel, while allowing 6 occupants, missed out on full points by simply ensuring there were enough amenities for all occupants. Overall a good stay & would recommend it for large groups.

Explore a host of coastal luxury during your stay at The Seabird. Treat yourself to an indulgent treatment at Sunny's Spa & Beauty Lounge or rejuvenate with seasonal wellness activities.  - 

I﻿f possible, upgrade to an oceanfront room for unobstructed sea views.

The Seabird Hotel Review

After seeing the Seabird while on the Pacific Surfliner to LA a few years ago, I was excited to visit and check out the city of Oceanside.

G﻿reat hotel for a relaxing beach getaway with tons of shops & local restaurants to try.   We booked a King deluxe room for $359 per night (plus taxes & fees) and used a suite upgrade for the Grand Ocean Suite. Getting a complimentary upgrade to the Grand Ocean Suite Oceanfront, priced at $1,200 per night during our stay, was a treat.

﻿Highly recommend the Seabird for a quick long weekend stay.

Fairmont Austin Texas

Nice hotel for a few days while attending a conference. Close to Austin Convention Center with plenty of shopping & restaurants nearby. Austin is a very walkable city & this is a great base hotel. We would likely only return if we needed to be in close proximity to the convention center. Will look for other hotels in Austin for our next stay.

Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine Review

If you are in the Times Square area, this is a great place to check out for an authentic Jamaican-style restaurant. Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine had the winning combination of great Jamaican food, drink, and staff.

Park Hyatt NYC Hotel Review 

This is a great hotel if you want to be close to Times Square.  You have access to a lot of stores, restaurants, and parks. The biggest issue is the high cost of this hotel.

Thompson Denver Hotel Review

N﻿eeded a LoDo hotel to attend the NBA game. With a personable staff, spacious room & good location near shops & restaurant would definitely return.

Our one-night stay was $339.61 ($271.80 rate plus fees & taxes).

Two days before arrival 1 King Bed was listed for $716. Executive Suite ($916) and Skyline Suite ($966) were also available. The hotel was unavailable the prior night. Peak pricing was in effect as the 1 King Bed was listed for 23k points.

Grand Hyatt San Francisco Hotel Review

We were looking for a place to stay overnight in San Fran for less than $300. Our normal hotels were almost $500 and after some searching, we stumbled upon the Grand Hyatt San Fran which was priced at $275 (sans taxes).

With a location close to Market & Union, close to several train stations, shops and restaurants, it is a good home base for a few days. While the rooms are not too special, the front desk and Grand Lounge staff is very personable which makes it a great pick. While a good stay, I will test out other hotels in the area before returning to the Grand Hyatt.

Immerse yourself in the iconic sights, unlimited shopping, and alluring nightlife of the nation's capital.

Grand Hyatt Washington Review

We spent $1,131.68 ($282.92 per night) along with 24k points for a four-night stay in a Grand Suite. Due to issues during check-in (including the room not being ready 4 hours after check-in), the hotel credited back 15k points. 

This category 4 hotel has direct access to the Metro center, a central DC location, and a great staff which makes it a nice option for a long weekend in DC.

"Located just minutes from Washington Dulles International Airport and a short Metro ride to DC, our Herndon, VA hotel is conveniently located for both business and leisure travelers. Enjoy door-to-door service with our complimentary airport shuttle that runs on a set schedule to IAD. Ensure your travel is relaxing and seamless with our newly-renovated guestrooms, inviting atmosphere, and award-winning staff that is always here to help." - 

The hotel airport shuttle runs every 30 minutes (:10 and :40). 

Hyatt Regency Dulles Hotel Review

After arriving on a red-eye, it was great to catch the free hotel shuttle (Ubers were $22 for the less than 2-mile journey) to this airport hotel.  By airport hotel standards, for 5,00 Hyatt points a night (Category 1), this is a great base, with spacious rooms & friendly staff. 

Located in the Hacienda Business Park, Hyatt House is a residential-style hotel ideal for extended stay travelers to the San Francisco area.
