Any advise on bookings on F&F rate at the IC Rome?
Do you get the benefits like the Minibar and Upgrades?

On award stay (3 nights) in September we got: upgrade (to a suite); fruit and a bottle of wine on arrival; water, replaced each day; late check out to 4pm. They made it clear at check-in (without any question from me) that the mini-bar was not complimentary on an award stay.

staying on someone else's points
I will be staying at this hotel on an award reservation made by someone with RA status. I only have experience with Hilton and I know that if you book an award for someone else using your points, you will receive the status of the person making the reservation. Is that the case here as well or will I be treated like some regular Joe off the street?

Either way, you'll likely get good value for the points you're paying

Hi all,
As a platinum with priority club, but not a RA, should I expect an upgrade at this property?
My wife and I are there for a few nights in April, an award stay.
Also, celebrating an anniversary, so does anyone know the email or how to reach the gm or concierge to request a few special things.
Thanks!

conflicting reports on here, last mention of the cost of a hotel car from FCO said €79 I think, others said €50-odd. Anyone any recent experience?

Thanks to all for your advice!
I joined Amb. Club by cashing in PC points.
Even though I am using points for my stay in Rome, I hope this level will help me get an upgrade. I saw in the benefits, that at this level it was an auto upgrade, just not sure if that also works on a free night.
Looking forward to my stay in Rome!

Yes, and that'll probably be our route back to the airport, but we arrive in the evening and I can do without the hassle of train+metro+walk frankly, and there are two of us so it's not terrible value really.

If you check the ambassador thread you will see people did get upgrades in Rome. Having said that, I booked a room on Monday and the reservation has still not 'auto-upgraded' itself, which got me worried a bit.
