Folks looking to get the most free stays with the limited-time AMEX Hilton sign-up bonuses might consider booking award stays at Hampton by Hilton brand hotels.
Because award nights at these hotels typical require fewer points. Plus, you can save money with perks like free breakfast and Wi-Fi! Other brands require you to have elite status to get these perks! Hilton no longer has an award chart, which means you have to check each hotel for the cost of a free night.I’ll highlight 7 Hampton hotels in popular US cities that have great reviews!
1. Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica
If you’re traveling to the West Coast, you can stay at the new Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica.
This hotel is in a fantastic location, just 5 blocks from the world famous Santa Monica Pier. Folks on TripAdvisor like the hotel because it’s modern and clean.
But avoid parking at the hotel because you’ll pay $42 per night. Instead, you might use a rideshare service like Uber.
An award night in August 2017 costs 70,000 Hilton points. Or you can pay ~$300 cash. This is a much cheaper option than some other area hotels, which can cost $500+ per night.
2. Hampton Inn Manhattan Madison Square Garden
Looking to save on a trip to New York City? You can use Hilton points to stay at the Hampton Inn Manhattan Madison Square Garden.
And a free breakfast in Manhattan is a phenomenal perk because eating out can be expensive!
This hotel is in an excellent location if you’re attending a sports event or concert at Madison Square Garden. And it’s only a ~15 minute walk to other popular tourist attractions like Times Square and Bryant Park. That’s one reason folks like the hotel according to TripAdvisor reviews.
Award nights in August 2017 cost between 48,000 and 70,000 Hilton points. Using points saves you ~$200 to ~$300 per night.
And here’s a post with other ways to save on a trip to New York City.
