Are the River View, Luxury and Exec rooms particularly special enough to pay the extra for our room for the night, given that we'll probably then need to move to standard room for points stay (unless they let us stay in same room as an upgrade). Or should we just go the standard room from the start as well to minimise moving hassles for all?
I have attached a picture of as good as it gets Riverview wise from the Conrad. The Riverview Suite rooms are otherwise carbon copies of the the regular Deluxe suite. Sometimes its only $20-30 per night more for the view, other times its $60 or so more. Make no bones about it that it is not as wide and expansive a riveview as you might think, but I like it when the sun is setting. I tend to only specifically book it when the rates are low or the differential is small. If you are Diamond they will sometimes upgrade you to "partial" Riverview so you will see a small portion of that. By the way, that white think on the left is the Ferry and the greenery beneath is the Irish Hunger Memorial.
