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 family weekend on the 2025 Edit credit

u/jwall4 on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade

Their take: A good stay overall: the Edit breakfast and property credit went further than they expected for a family of four and the rooftop was a highlight, though the buffet, the free happy hour and the lobby margarita were letdowns.

Details
Paid
$60 cheaper through the Edit than booking direct with Kimpton, using their 2025 Edit credit.
Room
A double room for a family of four; they hold IHG Diamond status.
Breakfast
Breakfast for two each day, which in practice covered all four of them: one morning at the buffet and one ordering from the menu at Dean's, specialty juices included.
Upgrade
None, which they find is usual when booking double rooms.
$100 credit
Used on lunch at the rooftop bar and restaurant; the hotel added another $30 credit, so a $160 bill came down to $30.
Welcome
Chips and salsa and a couple of fancy waters in the room, plus 4 drink tokens for the lobby bar from the Kimpton password.
Parking
Valet is $60; they parked in the nearby neighborhood instead.
Watch out
Construction on Alamo St was still going on, though it was not a big deal.

Stay with a resort fee on the bill

u/maxwellstart on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026

  • Breakfast
  • Resort fee at the hotel

Their take: Room-service breakfast was a highlight, but the resort fee and a messy folio left them puzzled.

Details
Resort fee
Charged $25 a night, although the portal listed a $29.50 nightly fee and showed the total as including taxes and fees
At checkout
The folio was confusing: some transactions were missing and the $100 credit wasn't shown, though the final charge came out close to what they expected once breakfast and the $100 were taken off
Breakfast
The breakfast credit works for in-room dining; they used it both mornings
