Check the rate first
Chase Travel often charges more than the hotel’s own site, so compare before you book. If you find it cheaper within 24 hours of booking, ask Chase for a price match: it has to beat their price by more than $5 a night, for the same room and refund terms.

A grudging check-in at a very nice hotel
- Breakfast
- Upgraded
- Early check-in
- Resort fee prepaid
Their take: A very nice, very clean hotel with mostly friendly staff, but a grudging check-in that only produced an upgrade after pushback left them unlikely to return.
Details
- Check-in
- They arrived at 3 PM and were first told there were no upgrades and the room might be ready around 4 PM; after they pointed out open rooms on the hotel website, the agent went to the back for about 20 minutes and returned with an upgrade and a room ready right away
- Welcome
- No Edit welcome amenity; the IHG Diamond gift (such as a $20 resort credit or 500 points) only came up when they asked
- Breakfast
- $30 per person, which is hard to stay under: bowls were $18, most dishes $22-30, juices $15 and coffee $8
- Resort fee
- Included in the booking; their final charges were only food and drink
- Watch out
- Restaurant bills include an 18% service charge, which is the tip, so don't tip twice

4 nights with a surprise $40-a-day amenity fee
- Breakfast
- $100 credit
- Resort fee at the hotel
Their take: The perks were applied, but a surprise daily amenity fee at checkout, which the hotel would not refund, left them chasing Chase for the money.
Details
- Breakfast
- Covered by the Edit credits
- $100 credit
- Applied to the bill
- Resort fee
- An amenity fee of $40 + tax a day was added at checkout, costing them $180 extra across the 4 days, although their Chase booking listed the amenities as included
- Watch out
- Nobody mentioned the fee at check-in; the hotel refused to refund it, and Chase opened a ticket after they argued the listing was misleading
Quick notes from other guests
- Champagne and macarons. A bottle of champagne and macarons
- A fair breakfast credit, slow service. A $30 per person credit that they found fair: the omelette and steak-and-eggs portions were generous, though service was very slow They thought the $30-a-head breakfast credit went a fair way, with generous portions, even if service was very slow.

Booking tips from cardholders
When they searched, the hotel had February rooms on its own site but Chase Travel showed none.
Using a pricing tool they built, they found plenty of availability here, with the cheapest February night at about $530.
They booked this hotel at the end of 2025 for a stay later in the year and received two $250 credits counted toward 2026, plus a $250 credit for 2025, which confirmed for them that it qualifies for both the Edit and IHG credits.
Show 1 more tip
After booking through the Edit, they noticed the Chase portal showed no amenity fee and gave no hint of extra charges at the property, while the IHG website lists a $40/day amenity fee.
