Spent the day trying to book one and only the Regent allowed me to even go on a waiting list. The suites upgrade hotels option totally doesnt work.
The hotels doesnt even bother replying the requests for availability. Staying in a Suite at the moment and chose a hotel with a balcony for fresh air. I booked about 2 months in advance and luckily so … on check-in was told by the hotel their suites are booked to the brim.
Do book well ahead of time if you can, i. I travelled alot and had been to a number of hotels for my SHN. Below are my negative reviews on them. Amenities provided are limited. For example, for the whole 14 days stay.
