Please post your IHG Rewards Experiences 2022

Rewards Club Experience Thread 2022

This thread is about the experience in Hotels of the IHG Chain according to your Rewards Club Status. To the Rewards Club Program belong all hotels with the exception of InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, which have its own loyalty program.
A template for the post is provided in this post.

Regions

Asia
Canada
Central and South America
Europe (except UK)
UK
Mexico
Middle East and Africa
Oceania
United States

Regions are related to the regions of the point break list.

A list with older Rewards Club Experience Thread could be found here.

There are also the following threads for additional information
Royal Ambassador Experience Thread 2022
Ambassador Experience Thread 2022
Rewards Club at Kimpton Hotels Experience Thread 2022
Mr and Mrs Smith Experience Thread 2022

Please note

This thread is dedicated to the report of the experience and not so much about discussions about each individual hotel, which should be done in the hotel. One of the moderators will add the report to the overview in each thread, which is listed in regions.

If you post here a stay in an InterContinental Hotel as Ambassador or Royal Ambassador Member, your post will be moved accordingly without further notice.

How to post to this thread

How to post

1. Do not use the "Reply with Review Button" but the regular one

2. Put the name of the hotel in the title of the post and the post

3. Use the following format by extracting it, ie by using "reply quoting", copying the content into memory, then backing out of "reply quoting" and then pasting the copied content into a new post. Each line is formatted so that you can paste in between them having deleted these opening comments:

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?

The links to each reports in the posts above will cover all of 2021.

Maintenance Schedule
Links to reports between January 2020 and March 2020 will be deleted after April 01, 2021 --> Dec 31, 2022
Links to reports between April 2020 and June 2020 will be deleted after July 01, 2021 --> Dec 31, 2022
Links to reports between July 2020 and September 2020 will be deleted after October 01, 2021 --> Dec 31, 2022
Links to reports between October 2020 and December 2020 will be deleted on December 31, 2022 --> Dec 31, 2022

With this approach I hope to get a balance between the request to have also older post in this thread and those requesting only to have newer up-to-date posts.
Given the current situation, I may delay the deletion of older post till the end of the year.

Holiday Inn Express Malaga Airport

What is your IHG Rewards status?
Spire Royal Ambassador

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 cheapest rate and got King Bed With Sofa Bed on high floor.

How are the rooms?
Typical old generation Holiday Inn Express but partly renovated (new sofa, new bed lamps and new wallpaper)
Basic but very clean and quiet.
Bathroom with bathtub. Lux toiletries.
Window can be fully opened.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
Very friendly staff
Breakfast is served starting 4am for people having an early flight (I was in that case, but I did not try it).
There is also a restaurant serving evening meals (did not try either).
Less than 5 minutes from the airport. There is no shuttle but Uber can drive you to the airport for less than 4 euros

BAD
The hotel is located in a (gloomy) industrial zone, so you should stay at the hotel only if you have a car and/or have an early flight.
I was not able to get fresh air despite chosing cooling option.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Hotel is very cheap and maked perfectly the job for early flights.

Holiday Inn Times Square New York (8th Ave)

Holiday Inn Times Square (8th Ave)

What is your Priority Club status? Spire

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Just okay.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked city view king, no upgrade. Room was on a high floor facing west.

How are the rooms? Typical New York room; not tiny, not huge. Very firm mattress. Bathroom with walk in shower and good amount of counter space, so it didn't feel cramped.

How is the exec. lounge? n/a

What was good and what was bad? Location is good, between Penn Stn and Times Square. Rooms are pretty quiet and the price was right. Otherwise, their restaurant is closed so you have to go out for a hot breakfast. Elevators are extremely slow, with only two that both stop at every floor (36). No microwave in the room.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? For the cheap rate it was a decent value but wouldn't waste points here. A return visit would depend on options at other nearby properties.
