How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

[DejaBrew]

Then again, with an average nightly rate of $231 that is a bit too rich for my blood

To be fair, this was a more expensive rate than I usually see there. Not sure what was on, but all the CBD hotels were expensive last week.

Now I should have booked the suite when I saw it for $260 a few days before but my plans were not firm, looked like a price error which was fixed later

There was rugby on the Saturday I needed to stay so price was a bit higher than usual, overall stay was fine, stormy in Sydney so uber wait was huge, clever me decided to catch the bus because the rain had stopped of course it bucketed down when I’m 100 meters from the entrance, so I was a bit of a drowned rat walking in.

Hotel was packed and I was checking in later so no upgrade, but a higher floor, status recognition an after thought otherwise pleasant enough, girl at the bar gave me free drinks without checking my vouchers, I just mentioned I had them, I didn’t want to get her in trouble so I did ask after the 2nd drink if she needed to check off the vouchers and then she did

Room was nice and quiet, got a good sleep before an early rise.

Breakfast in the restaurant downstairs pretty standard and quiet at just after 6am.

I’m not sure how the Novotel compares but was about $350 for the same night.
