IC BANGKOK

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
o Booked = IC Club on Corporate rate (which should be RA upgrade = Corner Suite)
o Modded and email by IC BKK next morning = Downgrade to Deluxe Room with Rate reduction, and then the RA upgrade to IC Club saying all corner suites sold so room being reduced
o My Email reply = Ok I will book suite at Conrad instead
o IC BKK response = We'll get back if any cancelations
o IC BKK day before arrival = email offering corner suite and rate increased to Club IC corp rate


How are the rooms?
+ High floor end of floor propper 2-room suite
+ bit dark brown+grey for my taste though

How is the exec. lounge?
+ one of the nicest, light airy, loads of seating
+ tea time offering is platters on request
+ evening offering is new timings 1730-1930 9used to be until 8pm)
+ evening offering no longer 6 hot offerings as before but portable 1x offer, first night being roast beef.
+ evening cocktail (Mojito as good as ever)

Did you receive a welcome gift?
o new option of wooden tuktuk in room (asked and received the usual teddy bear)
o alcoholic Fruit wine (screw cap)

How was the minibar?
o still same
o 6x 1/4 bottles spirits
o 4x beers, 4x sodas, 2x juices (less than in club room .... lounge staff organising a fill of sodas for me)

What was good and what was bad?

-Good
+ early checkin
+ proactive day after booking that IC BKK about cannot upgrade RA to Corner Suite as all sold (checked after and was true Corner suite not being sold my nights)

-Bad


Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
+ Corp Rate entry level room great value whilst I am RA and receive club room.
OR
+ Corp Rate IC Club room great value whilst either Amb/RA and receive corner suite (room to book if lose my RA status)
- never worth booking points with company rates here in Bangkok

Would you return?[/QUOTE]
+ one of my two goto hotels in bangkok especially if I need early checkin
(other preferred hotel option is Conrad)
+ not so fond of corner suites at IC BKK, I almost prefer IC Club room at half the rate.
