A Surprise treat

This was a last-minute booking without too much research and I was quite surprised by the levels of luxury and comfort this hotel provided - well above what I expected from a Holiday Inn establishment in Europe!

LOCATION: Fantastic location right next to the main square and walkable from all key points of interest

DINE + DRINK: Lobby level that is great for a pre-drink before you head out. Didnt have a chance to try the breakfast

ROOM: We stayed in Room 218, so this review is based on that; VIEW: Random view of the city from very random windows that were slanted; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: GOod spa quality cosmetics

FACILITIES: Compact Gym with a good range of weights and Cardio machines good enough for a decent workout

SERVICE: Friendly staff that cared for all our needs with a smile and made us feel at home and well taken care of.

Staying at this Holiday Inn made me question why I even pay to be an IHG Member... Not only did the receptionist not acknowledge that I was an IHG Member upon checking in, but he did not even know what an IHG Member was. Having said this, not only was I not offered any of the benefits that should be offered to an IHG Member, but the receptionist made me feel as if I was a burden; I felt incredibly uncomfortable, but it also seriously made me question why I am paying membership fees for a loyalty program that seems to not be worth the money I am paying to be an IHG member. I think it is fair to say that every member of every loyalty program participates (and in this case pays yearly membership fees) to receive certain perks and benefits of being a member of said program. After this visit, particularly because of the craziness of the "COVID World" we are all living in, I don't think it is worth my time or money to be a member of IHG. It simply does not seem worth being a member of IHG Hotels at this moment, and quite honestly situations like this (where I feel like I was ripped off) have made me look into other hotel chains loyalty programs instead of IHG. After all, why would I/why should I commit to staying at IHG properties with such...
