Staybridge Vauxhall, London
What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Spire Elite one night, Platinum the next night (2 accounts)
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes. FD immediately recognized status, offer choice between drink+snack from the pantry or 500 pts. Opt for pts.
Hotel opened in 2015. It has a very inviting sitting area across the front desk. People actually sit there to relax or read a book. Quiet hotel.
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked reward night (30K). Received same type (studio).
How are the rooms?
Most rooms in this new property is studio with a fully equipped kitchen. The layout is a bit odd because the side of the counter top is obstructed the passage to one side of the bed and the entrance of bathroom.
What was good and what was bad?
Good:
Location is very convenient - on a quiet back street that is no more than 10 min stroll thru a city park to Vauxhall station. No view to speak of and the blind is down all the time as you look directly into the residential building across the narrow street (or they look directly into your room).
Staff were friendly and helpful. Included breakfast is decent and they put great attention into preparing the fresh fruit salad each morning - each morning it had different exotic fruits mixed in the basic fruits. Good quality.
It certainly is a very welcome option in London.
Bad:
Nothing really.
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes. Property constantly runs at 200GBP per night. 30k points is a great value.
