Starwood Hotels and Resorts have seven levels of hotel categories for members to redeem their Starpoints for free nights. Starwood’s fourth lowest category is a Category 4 property, which Starwood defines as superior hotels and resorts in choice locations
You will need 10,000 Starpoints for a free night for a Category 4 hotel. As a reminder, you can redeem 4 nights and get the 5th night free, meaning on a 5 night stay, you would be looking at 8,000 Starpoints per night.
Another option for Category 4 hotel is Cash and Points, which will cost 5,000 Starpoints + $75 per night.
