What is your Priority Club status?
Gold Elite

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

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked "Holiday Inn Deluxe Room" (king only) and requested twin; received 2 single beds standard, apparently missing an iPod dock from their description.
However my non-member fellow booked this "2 single beds standard" and received corner room that is a bit larger and has full-length mirror plus iPod dock (probably Superior)... Such is life.

How are the rooms?
- Classic (aka a bit dated) but comfortable, quite spacious
- View is not great as the hotel is not tall; my room is inward-facing, but even my colleague's outward-facing room doesn't have much view
- Bedside shelf-like table is tilted down by 5 degrees however it's still okay to put things on
- Standard (and boring) Holiday Inn bathroom amenities; shower is fine

How is the exec. lounge?
No access

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
- Rooms were given early at 12nn without pre-request
- Gold member recognition with a small cut fruit box handed at check-in, and drinks voucher for 3 of us including beer and house wine
- Breakfast is quite nice (and if not pre-booked, 80cny/person at checkin is not bad)
- Staff is friendly
- Good location at 2nd Ring Road and close to metro
Meh:
- I just find myself prefer the "smarter" HIX equipment and feel... And this hotel is in every bit very classic Holiday Inn, hmm...

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Good location and price as a Holiday Inn. I may return mainly for its location.
