Rowan - Free drink
Canary - Two free drinks, two appetizers and free breakfast
Wilshire - $35 restaurant credit
Everly - "Whatever you want in restaurant" - ended up having two free drinks, chef's taster, an entree and appetizer. Also had free pastry next morning - more of an IC thing than secret word.
Shorebreak - Two free drinks

Wow, I'e never heard of this before! So glad I found out.
Wouldn't it be awkward if you said the secret password and some poor sap who was new to the job had no idea what you were talking about? Has this happened to anyone?

Last year it started 6/1, so hopefully it's a similar time frame for your June stay.

Upcoming stay and wondered if anyone seen anything about a new secret password yet? I, too, recall it starting at the end of May last year. For me, it was honoured on Memorial Day weekend last year.
Tried on FB but couldn’t see anything.

The Brice may have spilled the beans on their Facebook page.

Kimpton Shorebreak, front desk wasn't aware, said she'd look into it. She called later that night with offer for free movie since I'd already received a room upgrade. Later received a text from a manager (I guess) who offered s $30 restaurant credit. This was for confusion about front desk stating welcome amenity would be sent to room. This property, she says, only provides an amenity to Kimpton Inner Circle, not Spires. I didn't pursue the secret password perk, as I thought the $30 was enough.
