Please post your Rewards Club Elite experiences (Archive Thread 2014)
I thought it might be useful to have a thread similar to the excellent Royal Ambassador experiences thread, but focusing on the Priority Club Elite experiences:
- What is your Priority Club status? - Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? - Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? - How are the rooms? - How is the exec. lounge? - What was good and what was bad? - Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? (a template is provided in post 14 of this thread) If you are an Gold or Platinum Ambassador, there is a dedicated thread for Ambassador Experiences. If you post a stay at an Intercontinental Hotel in this thread, I assume that you have no Ambassador Status Please add the name of the hotel and the city, state for US / CDN, and country, since there are a few cities which are in many states / countries like: Kingston, Paris, Berlin, Portland, etc. to name a few. Like I have done for the Royal Ambassador Experience Thread, I will beginning with 2013 start a list of all non IC properties for which the experiences of Priority Club Members have been shared. Therefore I ask you to use the official name of the hotel, which makes it easier for me. Index Hotels Africa Asia Canada Europe (including Turkey and Russia) Mexico / Middle America / Caribbean Middle East Oceania South America US Links open new tab or window depending on your browser settings Asian hotel offer in general the better upgrades. If you want to have a look what to expect in Chinese Hotels: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/inter...roperties.html Moderators Notice: Newer Posts could be found in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/inter...ce-2016-a.html FLYGVA co-moderator IHG Forum |

CP Bengaluru Electronic City
What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Platinum Were you happy with the hotel? Yes Which room did you book and what upgrade did you receive? Booked standard and got pool view on a higher floor How are the rooms? Very nice How is the exec. lounge? Wasn't given access. What was your welcome gift? 1 drink coupon ( 2 of us were checking in) Did you receive fruit and water in the room? Yes What was good? The breakfast ( Had to pay separately ) What was bad? Elite recognition was only a "thanks for your loyalty". Had booked twin beds, was shifted to one 30 mins later. Checkin agent kept on repeating that my rate was for 1 person and I had to pay extra for the second person, while my booking clearly mentioned 2 persons. Finally managed to resolve it by talking to another agent. Value for the money? Would you return? It was on point breaks :D Though its a bit far from the city centre. |
Holiday Inn Paris Opera - Grands Blvds
Holiday Inn Paris Opera - Grands Blvds
What is your Priority Club status? Platinum Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Yep, was okay Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked Single Room, received Single Room. No present, no points voucher. How are the rooms? Well, they are Japan-sized. The bathroom is larger than the bedroom, but each room on the floor has a different size. How is the exec. lounge? None What was good and what was bad? Good - Recently renovated - Metro direct in front of the hotel Bad - Expensive breakfast (18€) with a very continental choice - Small rooms and you have to walk some stairs since it cannot be accessed directly from the elevator - Reports of bed bugs, but fortunately I haven't got them Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? 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. |
Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Waterside
Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Waterside
What is your Priority Club status? Platinum Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Well, value for money was okay. Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? There is not much choice, so I received the room which I've booked: Twin Room. It was faced backwards, so no view towards the new Glaswegian heliport across the street at the Cluthu bar. How are the rooms? Typical unrenovated HIX with small bathroom. Very small windows which do not close completely, so it gets very cold in the night! Aircon is very loud and directly above the bed. How is the exec. lounge? None What was good and what was bad? Good - Location - Cheap - Very friendly staff Bad - Crowded breakfast room - Rooms look tired and get very cold at night Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Well, less than 50GBP per night directly in the city is quite okay. You'll get what you pay for. |
Holiday Inn Express Gent
What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay ? Merely adequate - indifferent Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked room. Was informed they are all the same How are the rooms? Slightly larger than average by European standards. My room happened to have a leaky exterior window and heater was loud. How is the exec. lounge? None What was good and what was bad? Good - Booked with point breaks - cheap Bad - Location is not in city center (I knew this but...) - Issues with room (leaky window, loud heater). - Very crowded breakfast Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Even for 5k points I'd have to really consider returning. I'd probably spend more to stay more central to Gent. |
