prior) is it’s 18% auto tip. So that $30 isn’t even $30- also, upon checkout I was told for the first time that it’s use it or lose it - even though you are still charged. I asked what does a titanium member get at this property?
reply - the points
I asked how many
reply - 750 points
this was two night / two guest stay.
titanium = nothing at these properties..
the Bonvoy app
for the Algonquin it lists the restaurant for breakfast as closed - that is totally false..
The Algonquin, unlike the Triada, is specifically addressed in the Terms and Conditions as not providing a breakfast benefit. It stinks but it isn't new and is divulged.
