What is your Priority Club status?

Diamond

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 standard queen received standard queen Birdview Park (highest available category at time of booking, the largest room is King Extra Space - all booked out already)

How are the rooms?

Standard cookie cutter HIX

How is the exec. lounge?

NA

What was good and what was bad?

Comfortable standard HIX layout. Parking pricy at $20 per day - there's flat rate parking around the corner at $8. Hot breakfast pleasant - around the level of what you'd get in the Qantas domestic J lounge.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?

A bit pricy for the location at $190 pn - somewhat out of town and not near much. Probably will stay closer in next time.
