Is there a detailed list of Expedia's +VIP hotel benefits?
Hope this is the right forum.
I have Expedia+ Gold membership, and one of the benefits is "exclusive amenities and upgrades" at some of their properties.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find out what these specific benefits are at each property.
For example, I'm looking at a hotel in Abu Dhabi (the Beach Rotana) now (for my Etihad mistake fare trip!) and when I click on the "exclusive amenities" logo I see this:
This is the exact same wording on EVERY +VIP hotel.
The +VIP Access logo gives me equally vague information:
Clicking on the "more details" link takes me to a generic benefits page.
Looking back at the web page for the hotel itself, it shows the price for wi-fi, it's a rather expensive AED 90 (US$24.50) per day.
Now, if I'm going to spend 3 nights at a hotel, knowing if I'm going to pay another $75 for internet during my stay is important.
I've emailed Expedia through their customer service portal and have never received a response.
Is there a list (or can we compile one) of what these benefits are for specific properties?
Thank you.

Have not found a list, but here is what I know
Hi
As a gold member I have been looking for the same info, but has not found any. Expedia does not have a list of what you get as perks at the different hotels. At least not from what I was told when I talked to them. I have found the following:
Perk at The Cromwell, Las Vegas: 1 free inroom breakfast (from a review I read, not experienced myself)
Perk At Allegra, Zurich Airport: Half price for big breakfast (meaning warm food for around 20 CHF instead of 40 CHF). Been here myself.
If more people join in to compile a list, it would be nice.

Recently booked at Langham Sydney:
Amenity is Free Wifi (which is given to all rooms anyways)
The Grace Hotel Sydney -
Received an email from Expedia:
When I emailed the hotel to confirm, they said they have received no such email from Expedia about this amenity.
But on arrival the hotel granted the complimentary breakfast. It seems Expedia sends them an email close to your arrival date

I spent very little time as +VIP Silver but I didn't notice amenities kick in until I reached +VIP Gold. Since then the room upgrades have been fairly consistent, but the communication of amenities could use some work.
