Imagine staying at the ROS in one of their crappy standard rooms with no Lounge, upgrades, or breakfast.
**Losing 50 Plats a night = over 18,000 room nights per year! Per hotel.
Do they think there are no choices? We’ve all got status with other chains! Status matches will be our parachutes!
LOL. Could not agree more. Have you stayed at Swissotel Bangkok before? I got an ok room but nothing special, no breakfast, no lounge, no upgrade. For 3200 THB on a pre-paid rate. Looking at a sample of dates, this price is not unusually high for this hotel. Who pays this price to get nothing special, unless you need to be at that exact location? Without all the perks, the Swissotel is so much worse than something like Hyatt Place for me, where I get free breakfast, room upgrade, and pay 2400 THB flexible rate.
