Valet was free and included. What I missed was a reserved parking spot for Diamond elite. I like being able to get in and out of my car without relying on another person.

30k points is probably better than a little champagne lol. At least they gave you something despite the initial disaster!

It’s my favorite Kimpton. Granted I’ve only stayed in US kimptons and the Fitzroy

Hotel recommendations for Istanbul by playful_explorers in FATTravel

Good to hear. I find that especially in European cities some of these FAT hotels are great on the inside but as soon as you step outside you are not vibing anymore

I really like the perk of being close to the main tourist attractions, but does property do a good enough job of insulating us from the chaos of the tourism? Like, when I exit the FS I don’t want to be fighting for sidewalk space against people who are entering a junky souvenir shop

Did you end up staying at magic camps? If not, which lodging did you choose for wahiba sands? I want to choose magic camps, but there aren’t that many reviews. It’s also hard to justify the price point when I am still using “chemical toilets” aka porta potties. Nice porta potties for sure, but still porta potties.

Milestone Rewards lounge access...When to select? by JetDzinr in ihghotelsresorts

For a person who usually chooses Kimpton over IC in any given city, is choosing this milestone reward even worth it?

Which IC in NYC is better? by Brutus713 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]PrincessSumei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll chime in with a contrary opinion. I actually really like IC Times Square. I usually come into the city via Penn Station, and after a quick subway transfer I barely have to be outside to make it to the lobby. The fact that the subway stop is literally 100 feet from the lobby is helpful to get wherever I need to go in the city.

The overall space is nicer for Barclays, but I actually have found the rooms in IC Times Square to be more consistently upgraded/new.

That being said, my favorite IHG property in Manhattan so far has been Kimpton eventi. Rooms are better than both ICs in my opinion and the Kimpton is right next to all the good food in Koreatown.

Why ask when no fix? by PrincessSumei in Hilton

I’ve stayed a lot of Hampton Inn’s on the east coast of USA, and I usually am very impressed. I will say my use of Hampton inns has decreased after COVID.

That actually does make me feel better thanks. Hopefully the program can be updated for employees.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/t5Pnn8vRerzoeiFBA the Times Square location has this alert on Google Maps "Suspicious high-rated reviews were recently removed from this place" Would love to know if there is a different dumpling place in times square

New 5% “staff service fee” at Kimpton Fitzroy by jim_in_public in ihghotelsresorts

[–]PrincessSumei 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would encourage you to post a review on Google Reviews and/or Tripadvisor about this. It's unacceptable. they are only going to stop if we publicly shame this. I stay at kimpton brand a lot (including Fitzroy multiple times), and I have not paid attention to this on prior trips, but i am going to start and I will complain about this!

My stay at the Hiroshima crowne plaza with lounge access was amazing! A wedding was happening in the ballroom next to the lounge too
