Check out the Gwen. Good area and really nice hotel.

Loews is nicest among most of the ones you have listed. And I’m a fan of the Gwen.

I've stayed at Swissotel 5 years ago and really liked it.

If forced to pick between those three, I would go with Aqua.

Loews for sure, why are you limited to just those? There are much better hotels available

Second the Gwen. Of the ones listed, I have only stayed at the Radisson Blu. Rooms are smallish, but nice and chic (think Andaz or a newer W). The downstairs bar is really solid.

Thanks PL1! Which other hotels do you prefer?

D1 seemed like best options based on location / price / availability but open to other suggestions!

Thanks PL1, sadly the Gwen is sold out 🙁

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
