This KLM itinerary has a 15 hour overnight layover 18:50-9:50 in Amsterdam on the inbound return flight from Krakow to SFO.
Interesting fare to a special place in Poland. There is a Hilton HHonors category 1 Hampton Inn Krakow for cheap hotel nights at 5,000 points. I will be in Krakow for a week next month. You can expect Krakow stories being shared on Loyalty Traveler in July. I will be staying in the historic town center and not Hampton Inn, even though the Hampton looks like a great value.

The Hampton Inn is in an inconvenient part of the town.Not a good redemption even as a category 1. Krakow is an amazing place. Make sure to go on the other bank of the river at night and watch Wawel castle glisten.
Last time I was there, there was a fantastic SPG location across from the castle… so check that out if you need a different option using points.
