I just called a CP in downtown Dallas about benefits. I asked about free breakfast or internet. They remarked that they only do free internet, late check-out, bonus points, and a free newspaper. No mention of room upgrades. They said they don't offer free breakfast. Maybe they are just setting expectations low.

I forgot, what IHG hotels even offer free breakfast? Is it just HIX now? Are our benefits really that lame now? Late check-out, and a bonus in our point earnings?

CP @ 119 a night. Nearby I have an Indigo @ 129/nt. And then the competition is by and large more expensive - $179 for a Homewood Suites, $196 for a Sheraton, $279 for a Marriott, But with an 18 minute walk, I can pick up a $100/nt Hyatt House. Which I believe does offer free breakfast (and I have....platinum status I think with Hyatt, not their highest status which I think is diamond).

I know IC's are pretty limited in their benefits. But what about Staybridge, CP, HI, and Indigos? I don't think I will stay at an indigo for business, but who knows.
