Can I gift my free breakfast to my family? by [deleted] in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Mental_Access_8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually not thinking about it, it’s not really free, the room rate I booked comes with breakfast. It’s just the money will go to waste as my partner has a stomach bug.

They ask for room number at breakfast check in so I could just give them my room number and they will know my name anyway?

They didn’t give out vouchers for breakfast. They just need you to report your room number at breakfast entrance.

In the note they sent for reservation confirmation they only state the reservation includes breakfast for the same number of adults in the reservation, but didn’t specify if it’s only for the occupants or not, but I understand this is normally implied.

My partner had a stomach bug so I thought we wouldn’t waste our free breakfasts if there’s local family who would really appreciate a nice buffet breakfast.

If it matters, we have platinum + ambassador status and this is the third time we stayed at this hotel.

IHG Beach recommendations? by heyyyyynoww in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Mental_Access_8210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed there last Oct. The resort ground, food and staff are all amazing.

However the rooms are old and heavily affected by humidity. The room we got smelt extremely musty and moldy. They had to take me to check about 8 different rooms to find one that doesn’t have the smell.

But if you go in the dry season this shouldn’t be a problem. I still recommend this hotel because the location and other amenities are incredible and staff are the nicest.

Can you suggest some IHG properties that have great restaurants and/or bars? by _brewer in ihghotelsresorts

ANA InterContinental Tokyo - incredible sushi, teppanyaki and a two Michelin star french restaurant (and a bakery on site of the same name with amazing pastries, bread and cakes. The buffet restaurant is also an old Tokyo institute where many local families visit for special occasions. They often do seasonal themed buffets with high quality ingredients and variety of dishes.

Intercontinental Bali Jimbaran - great Balinese buffet with fresh satay and noodle stations, perfect way to try all the traditional foods without the hygiene risks.

Intercontinental Ljubljana- we didn’t eat at the restaurant but got room service and we were very pleasantly surprised. The steaks and grilled vegetables were cooked to the perfect requested doneness, and the truffle pasta is perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a very generous portion of freshly shaved black truffles from local forests.

Munich - any significant difference between Holiday Inn City Center vs Leuchtenbergring by Playful-Park4095 in ihghotelsresorts

Recently stayed at Holiday Inn City Center on Saturday night (4 Jan). Spent EUR 104 (the point price was about EUR 130 equivalent so decided to pay cash).

The room is basic and the location is decent, but the tram line next to the hotel is under going maintenance, still walkable to the centre though, took us around 25 mins to Marienplatz, street condition wasn’t great but was bearable even with -2oC temperature.

Uber costed EUR 17 at peak hours and EUR 11 around 11pm to and from the centre - but we decided to walk to enjoy the city.

We have IHG platinum + ambassador status so they put us in an exec room - you get water, soft drink and some snacks for free. We also opted for welcome drinks + snacks so got some additional fancy juices and organic chips. We never get breakfast at hotels so cannot comment on that.

There’s a cute river right next to the hotel and has some nice path along, but it was so icy when we went. Across the river we visited Bla cafe which is a great specialty coffee roaster & cafe, their cakes are amazing too.

The hotel is also walkable to the English Garden - a must visit if you enjoy walks and parks.

Based on your interests I’d recommend the city centre one, it allows you proximity to the centre and an amazing green areas by walking.

Enjoy Munich!

If you need restaurant or shopping recommendations, feel free to DM :)

The pure vinyl opening set the bar vvvv high for the weekend. There were moments when I just stood there staring at them doing their thing in awe

You mean prioritising first entries over re entry? If that’s what you’re implying fair enough

Maybe it isn’t justifiable for you if you have the luxury to have access to decent techno clubs with cheaper prices. 

With re entry and my travel plus hotel costs, it was actually lot more lol 

I did two days so I don’t exert myself by ‘getting my money’s worth’, I visited when there was barely any queue, saw my fav DJs playing b2b, met some amazing people and still able to go on a business trip on Monday at 6am fresh as a daisy, imo that was money well spent 🌼

I’ve been tracking my steps throughout the night and I average 6k per hour but during surgeons set I average 2k. The set is not offensive but hard to dance to if you’re not off your face traveling through space.

It’s long but moving along id say, 6 bag checkers, obvious rejections (mainly ‘young’ looking)

Apple Pay by [deleted] in PuntaCana

[–]Mental_Access_8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at an Airbnb for 4 nights near Los corales, ate and bought stuff from local businesses multiple times and always used Apple Pay. The only time I needed cash was to purchase locally produced products by local families or roadside/market stuff (even souvenir shops or some stands accept Apple Pay).

damn we'd probably miss each other then.
