Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked classic, received Club Suite

How are the rooms?
They claimed my room was a junior suite, but it is actually a two room suite with sliding doors to divide the rooms. Flat screen TV in each room. Separate shower and bathtub. Good quality.

How is the exec. lounge?
Overall, quite nice. Good food, although breakfast is preferable in the restaurant. I had my dinner in the club each night but the first and it was just fine.

How was the mini-bar?
Not so great in comparison with most other Euro IC's. And as far as I know, it is the only IC in continental Europe that doesn't offer the snacks for free. Terrible beer, mediocre alcohol, and lots and lots of water.

Welcome Gift?
Fruit, water and half-bottle of Austrian red.

What was good and what was bad?

Good:
Great upgrade, great RA recognition
Great location (they filled the lot next to the hotel with sand for beach volleyball and a dozen or more temporary bars and restaurants for the summer)
Very nice lobby bar

Bad
- Internet could be improved.

Value for € or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes, I much prefer this hotel over the nearby Hilton.
