Doubletree is booked solid for the next few days. Any other good options using points that aren't to far from Lancaster itself ?

Don't think you'll find minyanim in a hotel, several hotels are a 15-20 minute drive from Degel Israel with daily minyanim this time of the year.

What's the best option to book a hotel for one night with either SPG or Chase UR?
