Please post your IHG Rewards Experiences 2023

Rewards Club Experience Thread 2023

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 2023
Ambassador Experience Thread 2023
Rewards Club at Kimpton Hotels Experience Thread 2023
Mr and Mrs Smith Experience Thread 2023

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

4. We kindly ask you to limit the number of pictures.

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 2022.

Maintenance Schedule
Links to reports between January 2021 and March 2021 will be deleted after April 01, 2023 --> December 28, 2023
Links to reports between April 2020 and June 2020 will be deleted after July 01, 2023 --> December 28, 2023
Links to reports between July 2020 and September 2020 will be deleted after October 01, 2023 --> December 28, 2023
Links to reports between October 2020 and December 2020 will be deleted after December 20, 2023 --> December 28, 2023

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.

What is your Priority Club status?
Diamond

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?
Standard room, got "executive" room but the only observable difference was the additional sofa (bed).

How are the rooms?
Quite small, bathroom tiny but bathtub and shower powerful, floor not flooded. USB charging sockets didn't work but plugs did. Tiny "desk" with insufficient lighting to do work, also couldn't see anything when tried to work from the sofa/coffee table. Kettle was about to break.

What was good and what was bad?
Good - got room next to lift as requested. Got diamond breakfast which was fine, but a bit disappointing for a supposedly "award-winning restaurant". Starts at 0630 and restaurant was almost full by 0645 though there was always a table free.
Bad - lighting in room as mentioned.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
The dynamic pricing algorithm suddenly dropped the points price by half about a week before, so I got a good value of 0.8p per point (had booked Voco for a low points price initially, but location of HI was better for this trip). But as room was not suitable for working I would avoid unless only needing to sleep.

Holiday Inn Scottsdale North - Airpark

What is your Priority Club status?
Diamond Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
It (almost) did what was needed, but not the best stay

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King Standard, Received the same

How are the rooms?
Not bad. Spacious - slightly tired and dark design but comfortable, good storage and in-room safe

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
Door lock didn't work well - it was possible to open the door by just pushing it. They were able to partially resolve but I had to lift the door as it was closing
No room upgrade but as stated before, rooms are quite nice. Unfortunately, my room was at the far end of the building so it had some road noise from the 101
Pool looked really inviting but was not heated
Diamond breakfast was only offered for one day of my two day stay. Didn't bother arguing as I was meeting family on the other day but this is obviously not in line with the IHG rules. The Diamond breakfast was a specific sub-set of the menu with one drink - anything else was chargeable. However, breakfast server was excellent

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Good value compared to other properties in the area. I might return (this is my second stay here - first was a lot better). I don't think IHG really have any good hotels in the area unfortunately
