What is your IHG Rewards Club status?

Spire Royal Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes stay is perfect as always. But latest RA upgrade policy is not make sense.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked Superior Plaza View Room, received Superior Harbour View Room.

As you guys know since this March, ICHK has been adopted two level RA upgrade policy. After then, some of room assignment became to not make sense. Now If RA book Plaza View Room, will receive Harbour View Room. But now if RA book Superior Harbour View Room, will receive Superior Junior Suite Partial Harbour View or Pool View. It's ridiculous and not fair. I have already have reservation of next Chinese New Year Fireworks day. I booked Superior Harbour View Room to secure the Harbour View. But system already indicated to have been upgraded to the Superior Junior Suite! It's not acceptable. I asked managements to fix this problem.


How are the rooms?
Not too bad. 33sqm and good to see the fireworks. I enjoyed Hong Kong SAR 20th Anniversaries Fireworks.

What was your welcome gift?

Did you receive fruit in the room?

What was good and what was bad?
Good

Bad
Superior Junior Suite positioning in latest RA upgrade policy

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