What is your Priority Club status?
Spire Elite
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Very much
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
I booked the cheapest King Bed Standard Room and was upgraded to a Suite Mountain View, the best rooms they have
How are the rooms?
Large enough for 4 people, even larger for the solo traveller. The furniture is quite new (even if it doesn't look too upscale), and the bathroom, with a separate shower and a jacuzzi, is faultless.
How is the exec. lounge?
Surprisingly, n/a.
What was good and what was bad?
- GOOD:
I had read some bad reviews about it, but I have no complaints at all. It all started one week before my stay, when I got a call from the concierge (a first for me), letting me know they were looking forward to my stay and asking if I had any special request.
Upon check-in I was welcomed as a Spire Elite, was told I had been upgraded to a suite (twice the price of my original choice), I was given a bottle of water (wow!), a voucher for a glass of Malbec wine at the bar, 4 PM check-out (without asking), and a ARS 200 (about USD 15) voucher for the casino.
I had dinner and breakfast, and both were fine and very cheap.
Very nice indoor swimming-pool and health centre.
- BAD:
Not centrally located, no iron and ironing board in the room (available upon request), the steam room wasn't working during my stay... nothing really important.
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
I don't know how many points are needed for a stay, but for a paid stay it's one of the cheapest IC around. I'd come back in a heartbeat.
