SpringHill Suites by Marriott is an all-suite brand that offers spacious accommodations and free breakfast to all guests. While this brand might not be at the top of your list when it comes to dream hotel redemptions, there’s some good value to be had.
Obviously, we love highlighting glamorous, luxury hotel redemptions, but we also understand that some travelers are looking for reasonably priced, practical redemptions. In this post, we’ll show you the 12 best SpringHill Suites by Marriott locations to book with points for maximum value.
We created this list with the following guidelines in mind:
- Marriott Bonvoy points are worth ~0.7 cents each. This list only includes locations where the points value exceeds this average.
- Peak travel dates for each location were determined using Google Travel.
- Cash rates were based on the standard rate for a weekend night during the peak travel season for each destination.
- The cent-per-point value was based on the averages of the cash and points costs of a room over a 2-month period.
- The points-per-night cost was based on the old Marriott Bonvoy award chart peak-pricing level. These points rates can vary.
Hotel room costs can vary throughout the year and prices can change at any time. Before booking any hotel with points, you should familiarize yourself with both the cash and points rate so you know when you’re getting a good deal.

Marriott Bonvoy Overview
Before we show you the best SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotels to book with points, let’s talk about how to earn Marriott Bonvoy points. Of course, you’ll earn points when you stay at any Marriott hotel, but earning points through a credit card is a great way to rack up those points even faster.
Marriott Bonvoy Credit Cards
There are numerous Marriott-branded credit cards offered by both American Express and Chase that you can use to earn more points. These cards also come with perks like Marriott Bonvoy elite status, elite night credits, and free night awards.
Chase Credit Cards
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer at a 1:1 ratio to Marriott. While it’s great to have options, this isn’t the best way to use your Chase points. You’ll get a lot more value by utilizing other Chase transfer partners or even using your points in the Chase Ultimate Rewards travel portal. However, if you’re short a few points for a redemption, transferring some points from Chase to Marriott Bonvoy can make sense.
American Express Credit Cards
As with Chase, American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to Marriott Bonvoy at a 1:1 ratio. And similar to Chase, it’s not the best use of your Amex points. However, if you’re short on points for a redemption, it may make sense to transfer some over to top off your Marriott Bonvoy account.
