What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
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 Executive Room and Got Junior Suite Capucines View (Opera was booked) There was a Rafael Nadal Fundraiser Black Tie event during the weekend! They either gave the rooms to paid guests or an RA thats a regular. Last year I got the Opera View!

How are the rooms?
- It was nice (43 sqm)
- View was ok, can’t really beat the (Opera view)
- I like the Agraria bath stuff, but it was the small bottles though
- This one of the few times when I say “3 people” they actually put enough stuff for 3 persons, with 3 bathrobes, glasses, (2 amenity kits), slippers, etc...

How is the Club Lounge?
- Its always good, always like the hot food option for dinner.
- I think its one of the best Lounges I have been in. Food and beverage selection was very good!
- The staff there was awesome!

What was your welcome gift?
A bit different this time contacted the hotel ahead if they can do something for my gf since it was her birthday few days before and we are staying with our baby daughter and her grandma.
So they prep a Champagne and an Opera Cake!
A box of postcards and also come candy in a glass jar, along with the 3 Fruit Juices that they tend to give.

How was the mini-bar?
Very good selection, somehow I thought someone mentioned that the food and misc (USB/Plug converters) were included. But I like they have 2 small Champagne bottles and a wine.

Did you receive fruit in the room?
Yes, apple, plum not sure what else

What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
- Room
- Upgrade
- Staff
- Lounge
- Location

BAD
Not really a huge deal
- One of the twin bed was sagging
- Bathroom outlet didn’t work
- The water in the toilet was running all the time
Lounge
Sadly no longer “free” for RAs.

Value for $ or Club Points?
This property is usually expensive, but I used BOGO made it worth it.

Would you return?
Yes, come here about once a year for a nice getaway.
