I'm not a fan of paying money on hotel stays when I can avoid it but I have been told the marriott where I have free nights for is not a good location and there does not seem to be a Hyatt built in Hanoi yet. At these prices should I just go for the Hilton Hanoi Opera? Based on past posts it seems golds have a decent chance of being upgraded to exec? I don't smoke so don't need a smoking room.
Cannot help you with Golds and lounge access as never had problem but recently I have just been staying at HGI due to it being cheaper and not using the lounge too much due to Hanoi being such an amazing food city. Some great food around the HGI. Always been upgraded to suite at HGI but never at Hilton. Happy to provide more details if you would like via PM.
