What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Spire Elite

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes. FD recognized status. Upgraded room to a bigger one and issued lounge access. Though the rep forgot to do all 3 nights, so our keys stopped working on Day 3 and had to go downstairs to reprogram the keys.
FD never mentioned about pts, but if made to choose lounge access or pts, the choice is obvious.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked reward night (25K). Received an upgrade to a larger corner room.

How are the rooms?
Basic, bland decor, but served the purpose (pre-cruise stay).

What was good and what was bad?
Good:

Room upgrade and lounge access. Lounge is not busy at breakfast time but can be busy in the evening. Good breakfast with egg dish made to order. Minimal offerings in the evening (a big salami and a cheese wheel) but beers are available all day long. Cheap wine and spirit in the evening though.

Bad:
Housekeeping did not replenish ANY toiletries. Even an almost empty tiny bottle that I purposely left the cover opened, had the cap closed and put back to the tray - NO replenishment on any kind for all 3 days. Very strange. They did replenish coffee / tea and water.

Location is out of no where although the train / metro station is within 5 to 7 min walking distance at the back side of the hotel. Area seems to be in perpetual construction for the past several years. No acceptable restaurant nearby (the nearby mall is a cheap one and a bit of a hike to get to). Hotel's own restaurant only served buffet dinner though very busy, probably due to lack of dining option nearby. One would be better off to take the train or metro to town - there are enough somewhat reasonably priced restaurants at the main train station which is only one stop away. (Metro takes many more stops to get to town).

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes. At over $200 retail, 25K pts is good redemption value. Would use it again if we happen to cruise out / arrive Copenhagen again.
