How did we calculate this data? Each time an AwardWallet user makes a booking, we automatically check the cash rate for the exact same reservation. That\u2019s what powers our points and miles valuations.<\/p>\n

For this analysis, we calculated the cents-per-point value for each property, then identified hotels with reasonable to low average cash rates without excluding any of Marriott\u2019s top-tier brands.<\/p>\n
