Almost booked one Saturday night last summer at Boston Harbor but couldn't bring myself to use 55 points plus $75 fee for one night. Instead, booked a 4-star hotel (can't remember name now) through Priceline for $90. Hotel was a few blocks from Fanueil Hall (spelling?). Maybe for a real special occasion it might be worth it, but just not for a routine trip.
Also, I gave those 55 points to my two nieces for a week in a studio at OKW last September. After they came home, they took my husband and me out to dinner and gave us a nice houseplant as a thank-you.
So, all in all, I think that was a much better use of points!
