You know if they provide complimentary breakfast for "Diamonds"? Anyone knows? Thanks in advance!

I don't know, but (sadly) providing Diamonds with breakfast isn't a thing at any Wyndhams, as far as I know. The only times I've gotten breakfast included at Wyndham Rewards afilliated properties is when all guests get breakfast, like at the H2 chain in Europe. This is why I try to check the reviews before booking. Like in Budapest, the Ramada does NOT provide all guests with free breakfast (which is surprising to Americans), but the H2 does.

Great location, so-so property, but nice bars & dining, not far from direct airport train service..
Interestingly, that deal is still going on! 13,500 points with an Earner card gets you into this central London Days Inn. At least today. I've never stayed there, but I have a well-travelled family member who recently has, who says the same generally positive things about the hotel. I am headed to London this summer and booked the property for a few days. I usually stay at fancier London hotels, but the points deals at those properties have dried up over the years (most recently with Hyatt significantly raising their award rates) and I care more about location than "fancy" with my city hotels. I've already made my reservation because this property is popular (you won't always find award availability), and I am afraid this could be one of the few Wyndham properties that doubles in price tomorrow with the new award chart. Based on their room rates, it could easily be a 30K hotel (which would make it much less desirable).
