Check the rate first

Chase Travel often charges more than the hotel’s own site, so compare before you book. If you find it cheaper within 24 hours of booking, ask Chase for a price match: it has to beat their price by more than $5 a night, for the same room and refund terms.

Chosen for the location

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade

Their take: Just an OK hotel picked for its walkable location; the perks came through apart from an upgrade, but bar and breakfast prices ate through the credits quickly.

Perks worked, but high prices ate into them

u/dream_team34 on r/ChaseSapphire, July 2025

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: The benefits were applied without trouble, but steep prices at the restaurant and bar meant the breakfast allowance fell a little short and the $100 credit disappeared quickly.

Details
Breakfast
Covered up to a set amount; with high restaurant prices it paid for about 80% of an ordinary order, leaving about $10 to pay one morning after tax and tip
$100 credit
Applied as expected but went fast at the bar, where the signature Manhattan was $70

Booking tips from cardholders

  • They booked a night here for their visiting parents as a gift and were never present at check-in or checkout, yet the parents still received the Edit benefits.

  • They booked an Edit stay here for their parents without traveling themselves, and the parents still received all of the Edit benefits.

  • For their dates, the Edit priced the stay at $1,132.00 in cash or 56,629 points with a points boost. A Chase phone agent told them the $250 credit only applies when the whole amount is paid in cash; they booked and paid in December for a stay in the new year.
