Junior suite upgrade in a converted 18th-century mansion
- Breakfast
- $100 credit
- Upgraded
- Early check-in
Their take: A lovely splurge with top-notch service, well above their usual spend and paid largely with points.
Details
- Paid
- A mix of points (with a 2x Points Boost) and cash, keeping enough on the card to trigger the $250 credit
- Booked
- A Prestige Room, hoping for a junior suite
- Check-in
- Arrived before the normal check-in time and got a room immediately, along with a benefits letter
- Upgrade
- To a junior suite
- Welcome
- A pastry, Evian water and a French red wine waiting in the room
- Breakfast
- Included and simply comped, with no bill to sign: a continental buffet plus eggs and bacon to order (€46 on the menu)
- $100 credit
- Spent on drinks at the quiet on-site bar
- Watch out
- The letter says back-to-back stays are not allowed, so splitting a trip will not earn a second €100 credit
