HI Chiang Mai
What is your Priority Club status?
Spire-RA
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Extremely happy
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked a Superior River View King, one category below Executive King, and upgraded to a 2 room suite, river view. Seems to be the top category.
How are the rooms?
Great, wood floor in the large entry-living room, great furniture with a full sized couch, love seat plus arm chair in the living room and small round table with two more chair, plus a desk and two more chairs. A large bathroom with separate jacuzzi tub and shower stalls, semi-private toilet and bidet room and two sinks and full length mirror. The bedroom also has two comfy chairs and a table. As the (T)Chump says "it's uuuge."
How is the exec. lounge?
Very nice with a good selection of evening dishes that changed each night (here for 4 nights.) The drinks are not the top premium brands, but fine.
What was good and what was bad?
Besides the room, the price was great, like US$60 per night, though they don't give away their F&B nor lounge access, so I paid an extra THB800 (total incl taxes and fees) per night for the breakfast downstairs (great selection and made to order eggs, pancakes, french toast, noodle dishes,) and Exec Lounge access. Only negative is the property is away from the center and there is little to do around this part of town. No problem really as we were using a driver (very reasonable cost, knowledgeable and with a nice Honda) each day for siteseeing, tours, etc.
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Great value and we will be back.
