Just a plebian Platinum looking to use his 1 free credit card night at either hotel.
Amstel seems to be really nice, but am just a Platinum and don't know what the "normal" rooms are like, or whether they permit early check-in.
C/P has good proximity to where we will be the next 2 nights, but it ain't the Amstel.
So, which to choose?
Many thanks,
NJ

The Crowne Plaza has more of a modern decor in it and has a Lounge

Thanks, Russel.
I'm not sure I would get upgraded as a mere PC Platinum as I have no IC status and the lounge at the CP is not upgradeable due to status, you have to pay for it, unfortunately, and I have read that it is not anything overwhelming, anyway.
Anyone have any further observations/comments re the physical plant and treatment I might receive at either?
Thanks,
