What was good and what was bad?
Good
- value for points
- reasonable breakfast selection, with a microwave (useful if you brought your own breakfast like some guests did!), tortilla (potato omelette not the bread wrap), huge croissant, ham, cheese, fruits, yoghurts - based on quality, the food probably all came from the supermarket next door

Bad
- some sort of nightclub nearby playing very loud music from 8pm-late
- noise is bearable if window is sealed shut, but then the room gets a bit stuffy
- breakfast area tables are very close together making it cumbersome to walk to and from the food areas


Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?[/QUOTE]
Paid 15000 points + €1.50 tax for 3 people
On paid rates the IHG site wanted to charge a supplement of €30 for the 3rd person, but this was not charged on award bookings so this was good value. (FYI, the hotel received €26 from IHG for my points)

Also this hotel requires a transport ticket for 2 zones, when the majority of tourists generally only require a 1 zone ticket.

I only stayed here because of the points availability and rooms for 3 people were very expensive everywhere else
Managed to tie in our visit to Montserrat with this stay so the extra cost of transport wasn't a problem.
