Sneaked in a few stays recently with the last of the Hilton Honors Sale Rates varying around £65 to £71 per night - stays ranged from Thursday, Sunday and Fridays .
Solid treatment as a repeat Diamond member - upgraded usually a few days before my arrival to either Jnr Suite on the 9th floor or my new preferred rooms 203 or 205 - classified as Deluxe Rooms but large rooms complete with large bathroom and an improved larger shower .
Observed other Diamonds checking in recently when I've arrived - think we are sheepish about spinning the wheel lol
think Wheel Of Fortune - so far won extra points , tins of cookies and tonight an extra drinks voucher .
Box of chocs and Aeros hot choc late sachets still offered .
Still getting the extra 1,000 points targeted hotel offer posting .
Hotel the quietest I've seen tonight - going to relax in the tub and order room service later !
Guess London hotel rates will start to increase as typical from next week - still need to stay at Bankside and return to Canary Wharf !

Found a £63 rate for tonight preupgraded to 907 Jnr Suite (203/205 aren't available 
)
Busy at check - didn't win anything win the Spin The Wheel Diamond Game
Drinks vouchers and cookie and chocs and late check out of 4pm offered without prompting .
Suite at a balmy 17 degrees - it's muggy and damp in London today .
Bar deserted - given a better glass of white and old of chilli flavoured snacks and taken up to my suite (emails) the snacks presented in a large warm white China mug and rather hot (!)
Think the hotel is quiet tonight - whilst waiting to checking in observed a rather disorganised event organiser asking for half a branch of WHSmiths (English humour ) stationery , 'oh and I've forgot ....' heard many times
And a couple booking a room (a walk in ) no luggage ...his female companion was rather 'entertaining ' to us in the q . Trust they have Scrabble or another board game to keep them occupied !

Lovely hotel, very friendly staff. But disappointed. I was told that I wasn't offered upgrade because the hotel was full, but when I looked online there was plenty of availability for better rooms (which could have been considered a suitable upgrade). Feels like I was lied to and that leaves an unpleasant taste.

Seems to depend on FD , my first stay here last year the girl hadn't a clue , no recognition, no upgrade, even her English was patchy.
that said it's a lovely hotel and Greenwich is a great place to visit....it is also often cheap too.

Thanks for your help and tips Wizla, am here tonight, nice hotel, as a Gold I got my 2 drinks vouchers and the quite nice cookie, also a voucher for 500 points if I spend £25 in the bar. No upgrade offered from the room I preselected - perhaps because I booked a twin room in error!

Arrived 1-30pm, car is parked ( £17 ) and swift check in, hotel seems quiet?......I noticed I wasn't pre upgraded so politely asked if any upgrade available and told no upgrade as hotel is very busy ( it's not I checked ) , however grateful of an early check in so I can use gym, shower and get to meet some friends is an advantage......the room is fine, a litt,e small but clean and tidy.
im gonna pop down for a coffee before I use gym ....will upload some pictures and will report back!

Gym empty but it was 3-30pm on a Monday afternoon, got a cab to woolwich to meet some friends and then off to Camden for the gig ( we smashed it, great crowd!) ,
its now 12-30am and I've just arrived back at the hotel and having a nightcap in the bar..... it's not officially open but the bar man happily gave me a bud in return for my drink voucher ( sorry forgot to mention the drink chit earlier )....... it's actually reasonably busy, half full with folk returning from a night out , to be fair it's a lovely bar area with great decor , I'm now gonna retire, will use gym in morning and then breakfast, will take photos and report back!
