IC Johannesburg Sandton

IC Johannesburg Sandton

What is your IHG Status?
Spire RA

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

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest, got proper suite, high floor (at the corner of the building)

How are the rooms?
Big living room with sofas, dining table, work desk. Separate bedroom, 1.5 bath
Nicely kept and very comfortable

How is the exec. lounge?
A bit strange. It is on two balconies on a high floor overlooking the lobby area (the hotel is open inside)
Offerings are relatively limited but good quality. Breakfast downstairs in the restaurant has better selections, but is still not up to IC standards in terms of quality and variety.
Service was very friendly and helpful.

Did you receive a welcome gift?
Bottle of red, some sweets etc.

How was the minibar?
ok

What was good and what was bad?

-Good
- Upgrade
- Location (just across the street from a major mall
- Free shuttle to the Gautrain station (need to call and they pick you up or deliver you there)

-Bad
- Breakfast in the main restaurant

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Good

Would you return?[/QUOTE]
Yes, I prefer this over the IC at the airport and with train and shuttle it takes around 30 min extra to get to the hotel
