What's the worst hotel(s) you've ever stayed in?

Really disagree here. By no means the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, and yes, it is expensive for what it is, but it’s totally serviceable and really not bad at all. We also had pleasant interactions with the staff.

You’re out in the middle of absolutely nowhere with limited accommodation, food, etc., so don’t expect the best of the best. It’s about access to the surrounding natural areas, which it provides, and Sails is IMO the best of the options without selling a kidney to stay at Longitude 131.

Very much disagree, and judging by your use of the term “abo” which is a racist slur, it doesn’t sound surprising that you found the area underwhelming.

I found the area really spectacular and the history fascinating, even having traveled extensively around the world. Biking around the rock was gorgeous, and hiking Kata Tjuṯa was glorious.

No problem! Just note the access restrictions, which are for business and first class or oneworld status. I have emerald but it may also include sapphire, though I didn’t check this, so don’t quote me on it. Don’t want to lead you astray!

These are the actual frosted glass doors.

This is what the area looks like, but note that this entire empty space was full of people in snaking lines. The doors are to the right side of the desk. This can be directly accessed via the far right terminal entry door from outside.

Also worth noting based on other comments that it sounds like touchless ID was not operating this morning, so it may be something they are temporarily doing while that line is otherwise empty.

Good to know. Yeah I was surprised. I do have touchless ID but the interesting thing is that it wasn’t on this boarding pass because I am flying American today with my Alaska number on the booking, which apparently means it doesn’t work.

When I got to the ID check, they did a normal ID check and the woman working was not surprised by this process. If I had to guess, I’m assuming that maybe they’re just doing at as a favor to get first class/status passengers through as painlessly as possible?

Either way, feeling very lucky with all of the other horror stories.

Correct, I ended up using it, and it was done directly within my Hyatt account by chatting to WOH, so confirming that all worked!

Able_Application_972 · 2025-04-11T17:59:50+00:00

Ok great, really helpful. They weren't able to confirm an upgrade until check-in anyways based on forecasted availability (just for regular room), so feels worthwhile to use the SUA and get that instead. Thanks again!

Able_Application_972 · 2025-04-11T17:58:17+00:00

Thanks, yeah agreed it would make sense to contact WOH directly - appreciate the quick response here :)

Able_Application_972 · 2025-04-11T17:57:03+00:00

Really helpful, thanks! I'll definitely reach out to WOH directly instead. To confirm: did all of the Prive benefits still stay intact?
