[Muppet501st]

Property: Mercure Townsville
Status: Diamond +
Room booked: can’t remember
Room upgraded/type: maybe ?
Early check in/late out: not needed
Welcome drink: Yes,
Welcome amenity: yes , see image
Recommend: yes

Back up north and was allocated a newly renovated room, located to the right side of the property from reception. Haven’t been over that side in years. Decent but small room, I do like the firmer bedding.
Welcome gift better than 5 star properties.
And a walk in shower for the win.

Sometimes you need to push back on the staff.
I think if you are spending upwards of $30k or even more you are entitled to push your case for a decent upgrade

Exactly.
Especially as my current Diamond status was achieved solely on spend, without the assistance of a Signature subscription.

All this talk of MGallery and Sofitel... I've got a few stays coming up!
Be interesting to see how they all perform.

2 nights in ADL after wedding "mini honeymoon" - The Playford Hotel Adelaide - MGallery Collection. Booked 'New York Style' Loft Suite
2 nights in ADL after wedding "mini honeymoon" - Sofitel Adelaide. Booked JUNIOR SUITE (Suite night upgrade)

Not according to the media it wasn’t…

Oh dear. Yes, we saw police cars and officers surrounding the hotel on Monday morning as we were enjoying breakfast and going in and out of the building and we just couldn't work out why. The penny dropped today when I read the papers.

[elanshin]

Property: Pullman Lyon
Status: Plat Explorer +
Room booked: Superior King Room for 130 euro a night
Room upgraded/type: Junior Suite on top floor.
Early check in/late out: Neither needed
Welcome drink: in app
Welcome amenity: fragrance
Recommend: Yes. Very new (or renovated), excellent welcoming staff who gave us a crash course on Lyon and some of his favourites (on top of the regular hotel stuff).

It's pretty much attached to the main station for TGV and other places. For this price definitely worth considering over the Sofitel and MGallery in city centre (Sofitel seem to have complaints its a bit dated).
