I never "playing" the upgrade negotiation. We should be a good guests/residents. Then, hotel will offer you good upgrade.
I never mentioned anything about negotiating with ICHK before/during checkin, just that only a 1-level early modify is showing so I am still hoping for better upgrade come checkin.
As someone who doesn't stay here in Hong Kong for years, I am disadvantage when booking at IC HK, but I had picked up posts mentioning change in RA treatment for the better, from I think April2014.
I knew ICHK is the better IC of the two, hence booking my short night at the cheaper ICGS on flight arrival then switching to ICHK morning.
I missed the parts of posts earlier in this thread saying ICHK
o ICHK do not upgrade beyond their Junior Suite
o RA's should book 2-levels below Dlx JS (a hk$500 ++ lower rate )
o ICHK refund the rate difference between Dlx Harbour View and Harbour View to RAs unaware of the current ICHK upgrade policy to no higher than JS
I will need to read back down this thread, but from what you just posted I will most likely receive a 1-level room rate refund if as you expect, I get just 1-level up to a JS
Many RAs book Exec rooms at IC's which often have next room categories of J/Suite followed by Suite when the hotel has no club room types/rates between exec and j/s.
nb
Just like i know at IC Amstel to book only a basic room, as RA always get 3-level boost to Exec Suite , but if book J/Suite or Exec Suite, Amstel policy is no further upgrade beyond Exec Suite is given.
