Yeah, I also just gave it some more thought, I think it's not worth it. He can probably get more value out of 4 x 163 MYR elsewhere.
In the past, I've personally stayed once at the Le Meridien next door (when I didn't have status yet) and twice at the St. Regis, where I was upgraded to a 140 sqm suite both times. So for me KL and nice suites sort of go together. ;-)
But I guess for him it's not really worth it.
Thanks!

Recently stayed in this hotel. Booked deluxe twin and was upgraded to executive twin as a Diamond member. Le Meridien KL where we stayed the night before upgraded me to their Le Meridien Suite as a Platinum Elite so I´d say Marriott treats their elites better (or maybe it was a coincidence). The evening cocktails at the Hilton KL was also not that impressive and the food took time to get refilled. The one in the Le Meridien was probably one of the best we´ve had: the kitchen makes noodles for you and there was also an oxtail dish from the buffet The fitness center and the pool with water slide are both located on the Hilton side which is a plus, altho guests from Le Meridien could also access them.

Have seen many requests at the front desk and generally denied or offered for a fee. Check the morning of stay on the app.

Just had another lovely but too-brief stay. Was upgraded to a really nice suite. Enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant and afternoon tea service in the lounge. Wasn't able to make it to evening lounge service. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Hotel is in an ideal location, especially with the bridge connecting Sentral so you don't even have to go outside or cross the street.

Have had several one night stays and have to say the property is failing. Food and drink are really bad at the lounge and service poor. I will stay away if not for this promo.

what promo is it ?

just completed a stay this week, and 5/5 times this year have been upgraded from base room to suite so still pleased As for lounge, it's nothing like its glory days (pre-2015 ?) but I wouldn't say it's bad.

Noticed soup is now a new part of the buffet. Food is not dinner material but definitely good enough for cocktail (mini-hot dog, chicken tikka? , (forgot what was the other hot option was) crispy garlic bread, prawn crackers, cheeses / salad / fruits and some desserts.

Also its the only Hilton in Malaysia that serves sparkling wine and branded spirits.

Of course, if one is comparing to the LM lounge then it's a definite no contest but otherwise it's pleasant enough for a drink before dinner .

Pretty good with upgrades but the quality of drinks is cheap, food takes forever to refill, and the staff are running around doing everything and nothing. The 6k points per one night-stay promo.

Care to elaborate? Is this publicly available promo or targeted?

2+2+1(myway)+1(60nights).

wantan

wow 6k ? is it a typo ?

otherwise it's no wonder they're giving me suites ... I'm probably paying 5 x more than what I'm getting

drinks wise, I'm comparing directly to F&B price at Hilton & LM which is easily RM50+ for a pint of Tiger/Calsburg. So getting it in Lounge albeit from a tin is still a plus for me considering the alternatives

ashkale

Am comparing it to drinkies and other alcohol delivery apps. If i have a suite at hilton, entertaining is easy along with cool apps which deliver as required till late. So spending crazy $ is out on property.
And yes all Hilton, Conrad and DT one night stays can get 6k points.

They have alcoholic drink delivery apps in KL? As in, I'd like a case of Tiger beer delivered to my room?

​​​​​​Yes quite a few now such as

Apart from all those personal shopper apps. Look for first time use/promo codes to lower your costs.
