What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Platinum Ambassador
Were you happy with the hotel?
Yes
Which room did you book and what upgrade did you receive?
Booked River View. Received River View with Club Access
How are the rooms?
The rooms are on the old side. I still quite like them but an upgrade wouldn't go astray. Marble bathroom looks quite dated but is still reasonable.
How is the exec. lounge?
It's ok. Again, like the rooms it could do with refurbishing. Everything is self service which is good because you don't have to wait for service. Wide variety of spirits, wines and beers. Food selection isn't so good. Although they have added some hot selections in the last 12 months i.e. dumplings, spring rolls etc.
What was your welcome gift?
Some locally made fudge.
Did you receive fruit and water in the room?
Yes.
What was good?
Good upgrade. There are only two room types here really. City View and River View. If you book a River view the next room up is either Club or a suite. They are usually happy to give me either but not both.
Location is good, close to Casino, Adelaide Oval, Rundle Mall.
Foyer is quite grand in an old school way.
What was bad?
Rooms are on the old side.
Value for the money? Would you return?
Yes, would return. Good value for money at about $200AUD with upgrade including club access. I like it much better than the Hilton and although not as new as the CP, the service and experience is much better.
