We're diamond.
Does Conrad allow 2 beds instead of a king?
I understand our kids aren't allowed in the Conrad EL but are they allowed in the restaurant downstairs?
We'll be visiting kids attractions mostly.
Certain days I see Hilton award redemptions for a much lower amount of points so it's tempting.
Any thoughts appreciated.
I'll answer what I know - Conrad offers rooms with 2 queen sized beds.
Children are allowed in the EL, but are requested to stay in a meeting room away from the main area.
I think I read somewhere that Conrad will grant free breakfast for the Diamond member and up to one guest - I'm pretty sure this was on TripAdvisor, where the hotel clarified why a third guest was charged for breakfast.
This summer, we (2 adults and 2 children) had booked a Centennial Suite and due to an oversell, we were offered connecting club rooms instead, one with a king and one with 2 queens. We took breakfast every morning in the restaurant, and on the sign-in sheet, each room indicated 2 guests for breakfast. Had we stayed in the suite, I suspect we may have been charged for 2 kids breakfasts.
