Urgent! IHG vs Marriott

[G M]

IHG
cost of a room - 3500
points required - 7000

Marriott
cost of a room - 3300
points required - 26000.

why are Marriott rooms 3x the points required by IHG?

it doesn't make clear sense for me to convert ER points to Bonvoy points if I have IHG as an option from a value stand point. Am I missing anything?

Marriot points are only worth for exotic locations like maldives.

Check accor, it provides best value of around 1.8.

Just for an example, Ibis Chennai OMR cost of room = 4617. Using 2000 points (worth 3606), amount payable is just 1011.

but I am wondering why Marriott is so expensive with points? aren't we losing a lot of value?

i think ppl transfer to marriott mainly for amex as that is better ratio compared to airlines.. IHG is not an option in amex.. from axis or hdfc it is generally not good value to transfer to marriott.. and lastly marriott has large network is India compared to IHG or Hyatt..
strictly points value marriott i think is poor compared to Accor or IHG or Hyatt but none of these are options with Amex.. Marriott gives good value for points for hotels were per night stay rate is upwards of Rs.15k..

As per my usage of ITC Marriott Bonvoy use MB for international to get full use of points
Within India ITC and Accor best value as of now

Holiday inn chain are considered lower tier compared to Four Points.
Instead of comparing best available rates you need to look at rack rates for these two hotels to understand point difference.

IHG is far better in terms of points and hospitality, I have been in both the points requirement in Marriot is insane that's called devaluation that happen in last month in Marriot
