It's the nature of almost any "loyalty program" be it airline, hotel, or take-away pizza. Terms and conditions subject to change at any time and usually without much or any notice.
I too use United miles for hotel stays occasionally as sometimes I will find a decent hotel for a good deal miles-wise and save spending cash for a stay there. My gut tells me when the program is finally merged with Continental One Pass that the hotel option will go away as well since Continental has never offered mileage redemption for hotels.
