Hi all,
I have 70,000points, not much i know but i have had them for a number of years without use. I am contemplating taking a short trip somewhere in Asia in the coming months and thought this may be a good opportunity to use these. I am relatively agnostic on location but i was wondering if anyone could recommend a good use of these points? Good hotel location or a good value hotel offering is preferrable to absolute luxury, but i would be very grateful for any ideas anyone can suggest.

Thanks in advance

At best you will get one night in a higher end Hilton - more in some of their less expensive brands. If you are short of points you can purchase them for USD$.05 (when on sale which is almost always) - this only makes sense for very expensive properties or a small top up.

Note award rooms are always the entry level category without breakfast included - if you are Hilton GOLD then breakfast is included (paid or award bookings).

Thanks @luxury-lizard. I am quite comfortable with lower-mid tier. I have stayed at Garden Inn's and Doubletree's before quite happily.

Good advice on breakfast being excluded, i'll happily find somewhere local to eat.
