What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Platinum Royal Ambassador

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 best advance rate, and received a Club room with lake view.

How are the rooms?
Around 25 sqm
Elegantly design
Very comfortable bed.
Small but elegant bathroom with bathtub. Spa Cinq Mondes amenities
Flat TV with good selection of international channels
Ketlle.
Fast wifi
Very quiet
No iPhone dock

How is the exec. lounge?
Quite a disappointment.
Pretty small
Breakfast with only continental/cold option.
Even one hour before closing time, the buffet is almost empty and all the table are dirty. Same story in the evenings.
Basic cold selection in the evening.

What was good and what was bad?

Good:
- Pleasant hotel

- Finnair airport bus stop just next to the hotel

Bad:
- Club lounge mess
- Pool was closed on Sunday (without notice on internet site). On mOnday morning, access was denied because of a class session.
- No bikes despite location (15 minutes walk to city centre)

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Club Points? Would you return?
Yes, for the price.
