All the rooms with Club access can only accommodate 3. I don't mind paying for the correct room but there doesn't seem to be any...

Depending on the age of your children, the hotel may well allow all four of you in the club room. If they're 8 or younger, you should be ok. Email the hotel and ask.

Don't expect that particular IC to give you anything decent I would advise.
They even have a room level which they say they only use for Ambassador Upgrades so you don't even know if you've received an upgrade as you don't have anything to compare it with.
They won't get my business again, that's for sure

Like Bloobell, this hotel won't get my business again after my last visit where my "upgrade" to a "recently remodeled" room put me into a room with furnishings from what I guess was the 1970s including sheets, mattress, curtains, and towels. And this was for a visit in 2015 or 2016.
The curtain had so many holes it looked like it was lace, even though it was made out of light blocking material.
And to top that off, I had called when booking to inquire about construction noise as I had been warned there was construction going on in and around the hotel. They assured me that their sound-proofing on every room meant I wouldn't hear anything during my stay. What a joke. Even with all windows and curtains closed, we were woken up at 6am every day of our stay. You could also hear the noise when sitting in the club.

We’re in Malta for the weekend. I can confirm that Spire Ambassador booking a Club room receives a two category upgrade to a Deluxe Suite. I’ve posted a fuller review in the Ambassador experience thread.

We have been very lucky. Friday it was 23 degrees and Saturday was 22. Sat out in a bikini on both days. My son went in the outdoor pool on Friday and said it was nippy but there were others using it. Forecast for tomorrow is 23.

i have about 10k points, not risking anything doing this and I'm saving about 50 euro a night with the corp code so it's worth the risk on my week long stay

Flyertalk doesnt condone fraud. If you want to risk it yourself, go ahead, but its against the rules of the forum to ask for help in perpetuating fraud.

Need Hotel's e-mail address
Hope someone can provide me with hotel's e-mail address. Nothing on the hotel website or tripadvisor( they sometime have an address ).
And second question is how to get to the hotel. I will arrive at a god forsaken time, 11:45 p.m., nearly midnight. Don't feel like renting a car.
If taxi is my sole option, are they safe and trustworthy?
