Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?

I booked an IHG chase award night. I was upgraded to a corner king room.

How are the rooms?
The room was nice with 2 walls that was basically floor to ceiling windows. The view was fantastic!

How is the exec. lounge?
I paid $50 to access the lounge. It was nice but small. The food/appetizers, breakfast, and drinks were very nice and spot on.

What was good and what was bad?

The good:
Location was great! Close to Union Square.
The view was incredible.
It was my birthday so they gave me a free birthday tiramisu dessert.
I can't remember what the gift was.
Nice bottles of evian water and fruit.

Not really bad but:
I had to pay for parking
No free lounge access

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?

Heck yeah it's worth it for the points + certificate. It was going for 329/night when i went, so definitely worth
