What is your IHG Rewards Club status?

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Very Much So!
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked 2 Queen Room with points and VISA/MC Anniversary night - received King Suite Feature Room
How are the rooms?
Amazing! Rooms have a dining table and sitting area and a nice size balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
Note the hotel opened on 5/18/14, so everything is brand new and bright colors to go with the beach theme
How is the exec. lounge?
N/A
What was good and what was bad?
Good:
- The upgrade of course! I went from a boring room to the best one for 2 travelers
- The Gulf of Mexico view
- The lazy river pool layout. Plenty of beach chairs to go around
Bad:
- Staff is still learning the ropes of this hotel. But I don't have much to complain about since they were generous with the upgrade
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Absolutely, it would have cost me quite a bit as I stayed during Memorial Day Weekend.
