I'm planning on using points and can get all seven nights free here.
Opinions on staying here as opposed to the IC? At the IC I would be able to get 4 nights free and would need to pay for 3.
I'm sort of leaning towards the IC but the 7 nights free here really needs to be considered.
FWIW I'm Plat only.
Hmm depends on your expectations or better your family's. Plat is as good as it gets at this place. Yes the IC HKG (not the IC GS) is great if you are RA. excellent but pricey for the 3 nights. IC GS is a mixed bag at bets and actually used to be a Holiday Inn in the old old days. For 7 days free I would take the HI GM. Location is very good close to MTR and so. When they assign you a room (using points usually gets you a not so great one) ask if there are any upgrades available. Can't hurt.
