- Upgraded
- $250 credit posted
- Resort fee prepaid
Their take: They were very impressed: a corner suite, excellent food and attentive staff, with stacked credits they put at $1,400 bringing six nights down to $75 plus points. The area is residential and far from the mountains but on the light rail, about 20 minutes from downtown.
Details
- Booked
- 6 nights split into two back-to-back Edit bookings (4 nights, then 2) because a standard room wasn't available for the last 2 nights; they kept the same room and only had to check out, check back in and get their keys updated.
- Paid
- $75 and 75K points (at 1.6 cpp) after credits; Chase's price was identical to the hotel's standard non-member rate, so the offered price match wasn't needed.
- Upgrade
- A free upgrade to a corner suite for the first 4 nights, kept for the last 2 without asking.
- Breakfast
- A $60 daily breakfast allowance; with dishes at $20-25 a person it barely covers two, and tax and tip are not included.
- $100 credit
- One per booking, $200 in all, on top of a $250 Edit credit for each booking plus the IHG credit, $750 in statement credits altogether.
- Resort fee
- Included in the prepaid Chase price; it brings a $15 daily food and drink credit, free car service within 3 miles, free lobby wine from 5-6 and a 10% discount at the neighboring beer garden.
- Points
- More than 37,000 IHG points, helped by the Platinum status that comes with the card.
- Parking
- The hotel charges $55 a night; the garage next door is $25, the Belleview light rail station $4, and street parking on the next block is free.
- Watch out
- Some servers add a 20% gratuity when the Chase credit is used, so check the bill before tipping.
