Holiday Inn & Suites Maple Grove NW Mpls-Arbor Lks

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum.

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 1 king standard; received 1 king whirlpool suite.

How are the rooms?
The suite was nice. Since the bedroom of the suite was nice, I assume a normal room would have been nice.

How is the exec. lounge?
Non-existent, as far as I know.

What was good and what was bad?
The room was quiet and it had a full size refrigerator. The shower had good pressure, flow, and temperature, and it drained well. The large bathroom had plenty of counter space for toiletries.

The living room seemed dark, in spite of having a wall lamp, a sink lamp, and two desk lamps. The cord of built-in hair dryer interfered with the outlet by the bathroom counter. The toilet end of the (large, remember?) bathroom was dark and had no nearby counter or table.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Good dollar value. Short answer, yes, I would return.

Put more cynically, it was no more (and perhaps even less) overpriced than other nearby hotels. Also, I got a nice upgrade. However, location is king. If I wanted to be in the area, I would absolutely stay again. Nice as it was, I would not stay here if I wanted to be someplace 20 miles distant. It wasn't nice enough for a forced commute.
