Holiday Inn Express Adelaide City Centre
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 and received twin standard (mid floor)
How are the rooms?
Fresh, clean and functional (incl the availability of electric outlets).
It also has some eco-friendly initiatives:
- air conditioning turns off every time the door is opened and can only turn back on if it detects a person in room afterwards
- no bottled water (instead fill at lobby, optionally buy a bottle at A$10)
How is the exec. lounge?
N/A
What was good and what was bad?
Good:
- 1hr early check-in (1pm) and 1hr late check-out (11am) granted; gold member receives 300 welcome points
- Helped me join cash and award stay to same room and credit respectively.
- Nice breakfast
- Excellent location
Meh:
- The air-con power saving logic is quite annoying especially it was like 40 degrees outside when we stayed. It works well when turned on though.
- I inserted coin to the wrong side of washing/drying machine and the staff couldn't help - that's A$2 gifted to the next user
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Good value for what's normally charged. (Cash rate during local event was like A$400 which I'll never pay towards an HIX...) Will return.
