Choice Hotels are hit-and-miss when it comes to their properties, especially in the United States. However, there are some good redemptions around the world that require lower Choice Privileges points that are worth looking into. Personally, I have redeemed Choice points for some of those properties in Japan and Norway.

Econo Lodge – Auckland, New Zealand
If you just want a basic hotel with great location in the heart of the Auckland city in New Zealand, the Econo Lodge City Central fits the bill.
- It costs 6,000 Choice points per night when you stay from Sunday through Friday.
- For the weekend Friday through Sunday, it costs 10,000 Choice points per night.
Comfort Hotels – Japan
My favorite country Japan has a few Comfort Hotels in known destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Nara. Each hotel requires only 8,000 Choice points per night. They are well located near subway stations for easy access to main attractions and provide complimentary Japanese and Western style continental breakfast with hot items. The rooms are a little bit small but that’s very normal in Japan.
