Standard room at pointbreak rate and which upgrade did you receive? Superior Room (River view) How are the rooms? Very new and of good size. The bed is very comfortable. How is the exec. lounge? No lounge. What was good and what was bad? Good: Next to the Rhone river and Tete d'or Park. 15 minutes to Gare de Lyon by bus. Staff are very professional. As platinum was offered a welcome drink and tapas. Bad: breakfast a bit expensive (22 euro per person). No exec lounge. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Value for money: For 5000 points per night it definitely is very good value. Would I return: I don't really see why I would return to Lyon in the future, but if so would surely consider this hotel. |

Don't know, but the highest floor was under renovations two months ago when I was there at CP Lyon.

They have 180 rooms, 9 floors (floors 4-12) with 4x full suites a floor, and which I really prefer as have baths (studio suites are shower only). Mentioned/asked at checkin why my lack of upgrades to be answered A)will only upgrade if stay max 4nights (well i only stay 2-3 nights and rooms always still showed online) B) is because when we upgrade ihg.com does not reflect the upgrades and sells rooms we don't have (i don't believe that excuse) Really considering my old favourite, the CP to be once again to be my primary hotel for future Birmingham stays now all booked ahead nights are used up. |

HIX Grenoble Bernin
HIX Grenoble Bernin
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Ok Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Standard room and got just that. How are the rooms? Only one room type at this hotel. Typical European HIX room. Very small. Comfortable bed Only one type of pillows (and they don't match their soft/hard labels). What was good and what was bad? - No platinum recognition at all - Location is in the middle of an industry park. There are no dining options at all, except the hotel restaurant - Free parking - Easy access from the autoroute Value for € or Priority Club Points? Would you return? This is not a hotel suitable for a stay in Grenoble, but for the adjacent industry park. It works well if a night close to the autoroute is necessary. However, there are better Accor options that at least have some dining options around. |
