I've never stayed at the IC London before, and I'm trying to figure out the best strategy for Club access here. It looks like for my dates, the rate for an Executive Room (which includes Club access) is about 100GBP higher than that for a classic room. IOW, it looks like the "walk-up" Club rate will be cheaper. Is there any benefit to reserving the Executive room? From my reading of the RA experience thread, the expected RA upgrade for mere mortals (i.e., not frequent guests) would be Classic-->Executive or Executive-->Suite?

On another note, how do they treat Club access on BOGO nights? Does one retain Club access on the free night, or is it charged?
