Which is better choice? Staybridge Suites or IC
Hi,
I will be going to SP for 2 days in Dec [my first trip to Brazil]. Planning on using Points/Free night redemption. I am considering either place, but not sure which would be the better choice, thus would like your opinons here.
Staybridge:
Pros:
- Less points needed [40000 for 2 nights]
- Close to CGH airport where I need to take a early flight the next day
- close to a shopping complex and reportedly safe area
- close to Hotel unique for the skybar
- if I choose this I will use my free night at the IC in Rio.
Cons:
- seems to be far from metro station -> will be travelling mainly by public transport
IC:
Pros:
- along Ave. Paulista and metro [heard it is a block away]
- seems more convenient for sightseeing with public transport
Cons:
- need 30k + 1 free night coupon
- heard that rooms and service not as expected from IC hotels
- only Plat, so no extra beenies at IC expected.
Thus I am curious which would be the better choice? the main item bugging me is the transportation.
Cheers!
