I am still at a loss as to some of these benefits for Ambassador:
(1) Special checkin area - i dont see any.. I guess not all hotel has it
>>> at the IC's I have been at usually there is a small sign, nothing like LOOK HERE THIS IS THE AMB CHECK IN HERE RIGHT HERE
(2) Instant checkin - how does that work? always had to line-up to checkin, not quite instant. Still had to submit my credit card and the usual signing...
>>> I believe this has never worked for me either
(3) VIP greeting - by whom? never been greeted by anyone other than the checkin agent
>>> Half of the time there was a letter in the room from the hotel manager
(4) Welcome gift? what welcome gift? never got any
>>> At IC Chicago, it was a box of chocolates, IC Amstel was a bottle of water and some fruits and a nice box of amsterdam choco's... mostly choco
(5) Room Upgrade - if you can call a room with a slightly better view
>>> i have always received an upgraded room
The only thing I get a benefit from is the Free Pay TV - (unfortunately, these dont include the XXX ones, so I was told...
>>> no idea, never taken the movie - but if i did, i would take an xxx one hehe
