If you were to get a hotel credit card to leave in your portfolio and pay the yearly fee every year just for the free night, which would you recommend? Assuming that you were not spending yearly on it because other mileage cards have more value and it is just for the sake of a yearly free night/bonus.
Obviously a lower yearly fee is nicer but I would be ammenable to a higher yearly fee if the 1 free night is at a nicer hotel/more flexibility etc.
TIA
