We'll I may have just simply got lucky but I was doing a gig in MK last December and booked a std double.....on arrival I was upgraded to the presidential suite!........it was huge!.....the lounge is huge and we had it all to ourselves , nobody was in there!.....I was gold at the time too!.

Sounds good, have stayed a couple of times at the Hilton up the road, rooms were a bit dated and no upgrade at all on any of the stays.

Sounds like the DT is a much better option!

Oh yes Dtree much better......I only used to book the main hilton as I like to sauna , however to go without sauna option is a small price to pay based on how good the Dtree is......also if you are into football exec rooms face to pitch....great on match day if you are into that sorta thing.......it's spotless and new.....nothing to not like mate.

Planned a couple stays there this week, as my plans changed I had to cancel them one by one.
Was interesting to notice that each one was upgraded. upgrade from twin deluxe with view was to King exec with view!

May stay there next week!

Reading the description of the upgraded room I noticed it offered "a beverage voucher which can be used in either pitchside restaurant and bar or the executive lounge"
Is the exec lounge not complimentary, i.e drinks are free anyway?

Just wanted to add something… Hilton Milwaukee City Center in downtown Milwaukee has a Gold/Diamond lounge. It offers breakfast and evening beverage service. It is open until, i believe, 11pm.

Hope this helps!

Does the "DoubleTree by Hilton London-Victoria" have an exec lounge? also was there any verdict if the "Doubletree by Hilton London - West End" did or didn't have a lounge?

Not used it yet but what is the "Hilton London Metropole" exec lounge like?

Thanks in advance ...

- Not staffed
- No breakfast
- Snacks & fruit set out for self service
- Fridge with Water, soda, yoghurt & juice
- Papers available
- Computer & printer available

They don't really tell you or remind you, you just need to "know."

Lounge is on main lobby floor right behind the restaurant and fully visibly through glass wall for all that walk over that way in lobby. Door not locked and no attendant the four times I visited over my 18 hour stay.
Clean and nice chairs with nice few but same few as bar and restaurant next to it. Pretty normal usual breakfast fare. A bit wimpy on snacks during day (some chips and nuts) and very light snacks at dinner time.
All in all, lounge did not impress me at all. But nothing particulary wrong with either. All of this may have been because I was staying a Friday night when they have fewer eligible users?

Happy Hour:
Each night two hot options each time one meat, one vegetarian. Then a bunch of cold sides and breads and various nibbles. Self serve alcohol but also roving staff who would remove plates etc.

Has an executive lounge, but the appetizers were minimal and they charge for drinks - $4.50 for a glass of wine that was more than they paid for the entire bottle because it was disgusting. However, we arrived late and they did give us a voucher for an appetizer in their lounge downstairs. Breakfast the next morning wasn't anything to write home about either. Fruit was ok and the hot dish was an egg burrito that was gross. The people in there couldn't have been nicer though!

Has an executive lounge with a good happy hour - drinks are free and the breakfast was decent. We stayed on a Friday night/Saturday morning and they told us that they usually have a hot breakfast during the week but since it was the weekend, they only had continental. They did provide boiled eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt in addition to the usual breads and fruits. Very nice staff as well.

Welcome to Flyertalk! Thanks for the reviews, I like the Hilton Phoenix Mesa so it's good to know they're still doing right by their guests.

No Executive Lounge in hotel but as a Gold got upgraded to a very good corner room and excellent full buffet breakfast in the restaurant.

I don't know if this has been reported, but all Hilton Properties in NZ do not have exec lounges. This includes Hilton Auckland, Hilton Lake Taupo, Hilton Queenstown and Kawarau Hotel, Managed by Hilton. Was in all 4 properties last week and can confirm this. Hilton Diamonds are provided breakfast in the restaurant instead.

For Hilton Auckland, A drinks voucher is available for every night of residence in lieu of no exec lounge. Full breakfast in the restaurant for 2 guests.

Now that's too bad. We are on our way to Auckland. The hotel looks like it's in a very nice location and we were looking forward to a relaxing stay at the lounge. We just never expected the hotel not to have a lounge. Good to know beforehand.
