For a family weekend in Brisbane, should I use points at the Marriott or Westin?

An early arrival rarely guarantees early check-in. Ask about luggage storage or an early room before deciding where to spend the first morning.

Map each hotel to the ferry, station and attractions you expect to use. Consider the return trip at night and whether the family would rather walk or make a transfer.

Compare the exact room type, points cost and cancellation terms for your dates. A lower points rate is useful only if the location and bed setup work for your family.
