As a lowly IC plat, items 3 and 4 aren't on the table for me anyway.
I have an upcoming stay in HKG. Of course the real IC property right on Harbor would be my preference, but that is simply unaffordable. So I've been looking at the IC Grand Stanford and the Hotel Nikko, which is next door on Moby Street. Both are in the right location for me. Looking at Virtual Tourist, I see the Nikko (about $500 HKG cheaper than the Stanford) has horrible reviews and the Stanford good ones. Granted, these reviews are generally from casual American tourists visiting HKG for the first time and comparing things to the Holiday Inn in Kansas or somewhere.
I'm registered for a "stay three at an IC and get free Ambassador status" for a year. Still deciding whether to do my three nights at IC Grand Stanford to qualify.
Don't, don't, don't head for the cheapest rooms at the Nikko. (Otherwise - if you always wanted to feel like in a Holiday Inn of 1954, then, you might go for the Nikko)
The more expensive rooms at the Nikko are good, though, the IC Stanford is still better.
Should you need a solid hotel with at least some harborview, I can recommend the Metropark Hotel Causway Bay (not any other Metropark). Unfortnatelly, it is located on Hong Kong Island, next to the Tian Hou (Tin Hau) Metro station. Rates start at 600 HKD/ per night incl. tax for a harborview room, and not in Kowloon and doesn't fit your requirements entirerly....
