Holiday Inn Paris Opera - Grands Blvds
200€ for Paris is not very cheap and compared to the room size it is about 100€ per m²... But the design was quite nice and I would return if there is no other choice. PS: was your room 2sqm large? :confused: |
Crowne Plaza Liverpool Airport
What is your Priority Club status?
Gold Elite Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Yes, more about this on the InterContinental Hotels Group Stay Forum Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Standard room I believe, as we were on a PB. How are the rooms? Excellent, slightly dated, but beautifully decorated in Art Deco style. Just make sure to request a room facing the back of the property ie the old airfield, we had a Jetstream 41 parked directly under our window! How is the exec. lounge? n/a What was good and what was bad? Good - Fantastic staff, couldn't do enough for us. - Even received a complimentary drinks voucher AND the extra 400 point bonus voucher despite being a PB stay! - Staff handled a problem with our dinner reservation brilliantly. - Subsequently the food was fantastic. - The aviation history (this property is the old Speke Airport main terminal) is fantastically displayed, with the old planes out on the airfield at the back of the hotel, and on the old advertisement posters scattered across the place. Bad - Slightly worn room. - TV channels were a bit all over the place, and the picture quality was shocking! - Whilst it was perfect for us (we only live 30mins away) for a 'date night', if you were to go to Liverpool City Centre it's rather far away, also the airport is not that close to make this worth the extra money over the HIX or Hampton Inn (I think) situated at the airport. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? As this was a PB stay, I'd say it was more than excellent value for money, probably wouldn't pay full price (points or cash) for it. |

Would be suitable for just 2 people. Deluxe is supposed to be bigger but I am not sure if it is renovated recently. I was there for 5 nights during my 1st stay in 2011. The 1st night we felt weird in the compact room but got used to it from the 2nd day and were quite happy staying there. I was there with family, some of who are not very easy with rooms and hotels. I have had repeat stays also. The bathroom door is frosted and does not lock or close fully. So difficult to use if you are staying with a non spouse. Lol Internet is free and of decent speed. Restaurant was decent. Coop or Mirgos nearby. Location is not very good specially for tourists. 5 mins walk to the tram stop. From there 15 mins to the main station and 20 mins to the centre near the lake via tram. We did not mind it compared to the price of other hotels in Zurich. 2 months ago it was available at the 35% off rate and dirt cheap for Zurich. You can get it touch for any other details. |

Platinum Ambassador Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Very happy Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Initially booked the Regular room and got upgraded to a suite with falls view. They had to move me to a different room as there was a pipe burst, instead of 1 big suite they got me a 1 suite and a regular room with falls view, not really a big deal glad they did everything to make my stay comfortable. How are the rooms? Clean and spacious, good view. How is the exec. lounge? n/a What was good and what was bad? Good - Staff - Service - Got free parking and breakfast due to the inconvenience of moving rooms due to the pipe burst. Bad - Its an old hotel, so somethings are outdated Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Great! As it stands this is my hotel of choice in Niagara |

As sweets61250 said, hotel location is not that good but for the price said; it is quite good value comparing other hotels in Central Zurich. |

The standard and superior rooms are quite small. But well made and renovated.

Plenty of instant hot water and nice large thick bath towels o Wall flat screen TV opposite end of bed, good channel selection including skysports1+2 (no Eurosport) o Free minibar fridge = Kitkat + 4 bottleswater (Indigo Paddington is 1000% more generous with fizzy cans + wine) - Not even half a window width wise for my room, window in corner of room, obviously main part of window went with next door room! I an not at all happy when rooms have no window/natural light. - Purple colour scheme, carpet, Free standing wardrobe, wall hangings, furniture. A bit too colourful for me - How is the exec. lounge? n/a - What was good and what was bad? + Nice 25th Floor bar. Seems very verypoular. Is also a Champagne bar so could get costly if not careful but cheap enough per bottle especially compared with London otel bars markups. + Offer of 600pts as Plat or Drinks voucher.

What is your Priority Club status? Platinum Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Delivers what was promised Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked Double Room with Sofa Bed. Received same, on fifth floor (ugly view of wall of next building). Previously, I've at least received a high floor with a view How are the rooms? Not looking as new and pristine as they were six months ago, but well-designed for an HIX. Tiny TV. How is the exec. lounge? No lounge What was good and what was bad? Good Smooth check in this time (one previous occasion took 20 minutes, another the person checking me in had no clue about ) Convenient location for Big Win HIX requirement Bad Not offered free drink/points (have only been offered this once) Hotel always gives fewer base points than expected, as they quote a qualifying spend below cost price - VAT (tax) Breakfast has gone down in quality (lower priced brands used for some items) Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Acceptable for Big Win or somewhere just to sleep for the night. But the Staybridge Suites is usually the best value IHG hotel in central Birmingham right now |

Crowne Plaza - Birmingham, UK
What is your Priority Club status? Platinum Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Yes Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked Basic Room with Breakfast Upgraded to Club Room with Lounge Access (received a letter stating that they will always upgrade Platinum members to Club if space if available) How are the rooms? Functional, but very dark. How is the exec. lounge? Arrived too late for free drinks (5:30pm to 7:30pm). Went in later to get a soft drink and the lounge was deserted. Seemed pleasant enough with a good city view, and a decent coffee machine. I didn't take breakfast in the lounge as I had it included in my rate, but didn't look busy when I glanced in What was good and what was bad? Good Upgrade policy Fast check in 600 point voucher given at check in Bad Breakfast was below par, with small selection, and the fruit salad was out of a tin. They did have decent quality sausages. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? A decent hotel, especially if you can make use of the Club Access. |
