The Kimpton Hotels Secret Password Experience Thread (2019 Onward)
At kimpton cardinal in Winston-Salem NC when I checked in I asked "do you still do the password since IHG merger & said the phrase." I was greeted by a smile and yes you said it we do... then asked to pick a candy cane from box, I got late checkout. Then after finishing check in signatures asked would 12:30 be good late checkout? Hmmm really I mean I like Kimptons but even as top teir just don't really get any in stay benefits: I ended with same room category I booked, no upgrade, a $10 raid bar for soda & Pellegrino then gifted 1 hour extension on checkout. Shouldn't a top teir 50+ night a year geust get hmmm i dunno
- guaranteed 4pm checkout
- guaranteed room upgrade, including suites
- lounge
Still, very nice property except thin walls but I was happy with my stay and would book again when in area of course unless they build a westin or even an aloft which honestly is my new brand of choice for leisure staye as travel with pet & like to play pool.
