    Sofitel Manila? Please pay via this link....

    Requesting payment upfront might be common practice there. I have seen a similar request for payment upfront from hotels in the Philippines in the last 12 months. It was a much smaller chain and just a motel/not 5 star accommodation. Another Microtel (Wyndham chain) in the same city reserved...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Stayed there in December for a stay free night. It's a smashing hotel! They seem to have everything up and running for elite status. I received an email confirming my booking a few days prior to arrival. It detailed what was available at the lounge and was handy to know if you wanted to maximise...

    Accor Plus dining in Melbourne

    Miss Mi definitely worth adding to the list. Pastore at Chadstone is also recommended. I normally go to the bar as it has a nice view but they don't offer accor plus discounts. Food is good though

    Best Accor hotel in Melbourne cbd?

    Using my Stay free night at the Sofitel later this year as a staycation as we don't have time to travel to anywhere more exotic than Collins St! This will be our second stay at the Sofitel - really enjoyed the first. Friendly service, good rooms and most of all amazing views from the exec lounge.

    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    I don't recall the hotel/location but do remember a situation where two pods were provided per day complimentary. A variety of other pods were in the minibar with a sign they were available for purchase. It was a fairer system and clear which ones I had to pay for.

    Canberra Accor properties

    I asked recently about Canberra hotels. Novotel was recommended and it's was a good recommendation. It has an indoor pool, spa, sauna and gym. The gym is small with treadmills, rowers and weights. The restaurant area has lots of windows and a nice view for floor one. Breakfast buffet is small...

    Canberra Hotels - business centre options for remote working

    Thanks all for the contributions! Booked the Novotel in the end. It had more room options available for a possible upgrade and the pool/gym for a bit of exercise in the evenings. May try out co-working spaces for a bit of variety. Cheers!

    Canberra Hotels - business centre options for remote working

    Thanks for the feedback. Both the Sebel and Novotel are reasonably close to Canberra civic so a library was going to be my back up option. Especially as I'll be reliant on car share, taxis. Sounds like a toss up between both. Novotel also had a pool and gym which helps for relaxing in the...

    Canberra Hotels - business centre options for remote working

    I may need to visit Canberra for a week and need to work remotely from the hotel. While I don't mind working from the hotel room I'm hoping some of the hotels there might have some additional space to work quietly. The Mercure Canberra and the Peppers Gallery mention a business centre. Does...

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    For Peppers Broad beach it says "your Stay Plus free night is not available in this destination. Take advantage of Accor Plus member rates". I tried other nights in August and during a week and it still doesn't come up. But the stay plus night is available at Sofitel Broadbeach for those dates.
