HIX Collingwood, Ontario Canada
HIX Collingwood, Ontario Canada
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 suite as its a busy season and didn't want to gamble not getting a bigger room (2 queen with sofa bed) price was only $10 difference not a big deal. So I end up taking a smaller room with microwave but still had 2 queen beds and couch. How are the rooms? First room was big and second room was small How is the exec. lounge? N/A What was good and what was bad? Good: Location, flexible staff, was able to change room with a microwave Bad: Price was a bit expensive for HIX but it was March break so its expensive. Also breakfast is never good at HIX but its tolerable. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? I would return, I always stay here when I go snowboarding/skiing with friends. Having a free breakfast in the morning goes a long way. |
Holiday Inn Ft. Lauderdale South Dania Beach
Holiday Inn EXPRESS Ft. Lauderdale South Dania Beach
What is your Priority Club status? Platinum Elite Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? It was fine. Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked King Leisure, upgraded to King Suite (which is like a mini-suite) on points. How are the rooms? King Suite has a sofa and coffee table along with microwave & mini fridge. How is the exec. lounge? None. What was good and what was bad? Good: FULL DirecTV satellite tv. Hundreds of channels. Most I've ever seen at any hotel, anywhere. This property opened in October 2013, so it is in excellent shape. Beds comfortable. Wifi speeds good. Covered parking (free) on the first 3 floors of the hotel (lobby/breakfast area 1st floor...rooms are on the 4th-6th floors) which is very rare in Florida. Staff is friendly. Status acknowledged. Bad: Can access elevator from parking garage floors to any hotel floor without a key. This could be a security issue since the area is currently iffy. Oddly, when you're in the staircase, you have to have a key to access any floor which might be a fire issue (I used it to go from the 6th floor to the 5th where the laundry room is located). Although I heard nothing from other rooms while in the room, you can hear everything going on in the hallway from inside rooms...or vice versa. Breakfast is typical underwhelming HI EXP and not well restocked. Nice breakfast area, though. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? 20K points currently. Great value for this new hotel. |
Crowne Plaza La Concha Key West
Crowne Plaza La Concha Key West
What is your Priority Club status? Platinum Elite Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? It was o.k. Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked King Leisure, given King handicap room. No upgrade, maybe downgrade. On a points stay. How are the rooms? Handicap room had a large bathroom but there was no table or desk - just a chair - in the room. Had to ask for an additional chair which after the second call, was promptly delivered. Bed very comfortable. How is the exec. lounge? None. What was good and what was bad? Valet parking fee waived for Platinum Elite. Unbeatable location. Rooms are clean. Housekeeping, valet and maintenance staff very friendly and helpful. Bad: Front desk staff, at best, is indifferent. Not welcomed, status not acknowledged. Nothing was said about valet parking - that Plats have the charge waived - other than they already knew I was parking a vehicle. Not much was said at all to me. No new benefit (500 points) or even a bottle of water or snack given at check in. You will hear EVERYONE that passes by your room door. Central A/C can be set low but with no activity in room will turn off during sleep. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Maybe if I could get a room at the end of a hallway. Great location. 45K points might be worth it when rooms are expensive but not otherwise. |
Durango, CO Holiday Inn (21636 West US Highway 160)
I think this is the first FT review of the new (opened February 2013) "Durango Central" Holiday Inn in Durango, Colorado, USA; the former Durango HI is now the Durango Downtown Inn.
What is your Priority Club status? Plat - 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 two Queens using Points -- stayed in room with two queens. Was asked if I wanted points or a free drink when I checked in. - How are the rooms? Room was more like a newer HIX than an old HI. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel, other than that, the hotel could probably pass as a HIX. My room had a mini fridge and microwave. - How is the exec. lounge? I don't think they have one. - What was good and what was bad? Good: Staff seemed pleasant, the internet worked fine, and the hotel has *lots* of large framed photographs of the Durango area and the train. My room had two 16"x24" photos and there were similar photos throughout the common areas. Bad: Location is a long walk (15-25 minutes) from the downtown Durango restaurants, bars and train depot.... However, the Residence Inn is right across the street and many other chain hotels (Hampton Inn, Choice property) are much farther out from Durango's downtown core. Good: The hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk, possibly less, to the parking lot for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge railroad -- if you are going to ride the train, this hotel is close enough to hike over and save on the daily parking fee that the railroad charges if you park in their lot. (Just leave yourself plenty of time to get to the Depot. I think you have to be onboard a 1/2 hour before scheduled departure.) - Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Decent value for PC points and I would return. |

Suites are not huge (as most Indigos) but nicely decorated and have pleasant balcony. Always have been very happy with this hotel which I highly recommend. By booking the equivalent of the cheapest rate of Indigo, I am not quite sure you will get a 35sqm+ room with balcony at some other Mitte hotels like the Cosmo hotel, Casa Camper, Lux 11, Weinmaster, the Dude or Soho House. |
