My cousins, their families, and I are all planning a quick trip to the mountains. Because of the way availability for our Airbnb worked out, we have to get a hotel the first night. All my cousins and their spouses decided to opt for a cheaper Best Western hotel while I have Bonvoy points I want to use...and also don’t want to stay in a BW. They’re upset with me bc I’m staying somewhere different....For that one night. Am I wrong to choose Marriott bc it’s more convenient for me?

Stay where the family is staying - its a family trip.
BW can't be that expensive - I am sure you can afford it.
Don't be a snob.

Then you already knew the answer “if you were wrong” and don’t care. Just trying your luck by asking this question on this forum where you thought you may get some supporters who’ll say you weren’t wrong.

In this case the importance was family time and you decided to give them all the middle finger and say peace. I’m sure some of those family members were in a position to pay for something nicer but they wanted to stay somewhere accommodating for everyone. You’re in the wrong in this one bud.

Edit* I’m saying this as a titanium member for the second year in a row. Thanks to covid I’ll finish as platinum with Marriott for this year. And I still say you should’ve stayed at the BW

Other commentators are wrong. Stay at the Marriott. It’s one night hotel and it’s free. It doesn’t mean you love your family less. It means while everyone is asleep you will be 2 miles away.

This is...terrible advice

Bite the bullet and stay at BW. Just get drunk enough that you forget where you are staying. Orrrrrr swing everyone's room if you want to be a baller and make up for the way it sounds like you've treated your family your whole life.

I would stay at Marriott. Why does it matter the exact location you sleep?

I see both sides. On their end; you are slightly selfish, not a team played, and entitled. On your end, it’s dumb to pay for something you can get for free. Also your job to put yourself first
