Milan Radisson Blu
Just booked F&F rate in Milan. Is anyone familiar with this hotel?
My concern is getting to hotel from MXP. I also will be sightseeing downtown Milan for day and will need to check out and leave bag there to pick up on way to MXP late in day.
How much a pain would it be to do this?
I have backup with points at Marriott and Hilton but would rather save points and get F&F at Blu Milan.
I did double post but no one replied in Hotel deals thread

The Radisson Blu is not very convenient for the type of plans you have for your brief time in Milan.
If you have the points, go for the Hilton.

[QUOTE=bdemaria;15899474]The Radisson Blu is not very convenient for the type of plans you have for your brief time in Milan.
I just used my free Night from the Promotion and as Gold Member I got upgraded to business room which is a junior suite on the 6th Floor Club Floor with balcony and even they included the breakfast for me.
No welcome amenity.
I think the Club Lounge must be new as it looks very nice with some relaxation music in the background and a lot of magazines/books to read, but no drinks or snacks are available yet.
One bad thing is the very overpriced prices in the bar and restaurant.
small italian beer(not good) 8 euros, a small glas of wine 9 euros, a cup of tomato or vegetable soup 15 Euros!!!!!!!!! and the main dishes beginns at 30 Euros, small coke 6 euros etc etc.....
Around thge hotel there are some snack/bars and supermarket and within a 20 minute walk you can find a big shooping center as well.
The location isnt to bad it is just a 10 minute suburbian train ride/3 stations into the city center-Plaza rebbuplica and from there 1 metro station to the catedral/duomo.
But regular hotel prices to expensive as well starting at 200 euros without breakfast on the other side the hotel is new with very modern furnitures.
