    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    But the good rooms (suites) face Bourke St with the tram noise

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Unless you want cheap and close to the station, don't pick DT. It's quite noisy unless you get an internal room. Haven't tried the Next Hotel but continental breakfast better at Hilton compared to DT.

    Seemingly trivial reasons why you choose one hotel/airline/shop over another

    And I hate that usually the spend required for some special offer is some round number, but the prices all end in 99 cents. It's a scam!

    Seemingly trivial reasons why you choose one hotel/airline/shop over another

    Understated luxury is what I want for hotels. Just like how I pick good restaurants that don't have dress codes.

    Fly in style, stay in ghetto. Anyone else do that?

    Think I'd be happy in J and spend the cash in 5* hotels. 1717384487 My version of roughing it is slightly better... 3*...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Digging up an old post. I've been looking at HKG accommodation and no matter what date I put in, I can't find availability for the suites at HGI. I wonder if someone is living there long term?

    Woolworths gift card thread

    So now it looks like Everyday Pay is not making a come back. Whilst it's got its issues occasionally, it was good for paying with gift cards as it will automatically redeem them using FIFO. Now back to the old way of scanning the barcode of each gift card. A pain when there are small balances...

    Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre (Chinatown) opening April 2024

    And he adds that hotel is very noisy - can hear everyone talk in the corridor whilst in the room and when guests leave their rooms.

    Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre (Chinatown) opening April 2024

    My partner is there right now and he said, probably no next time: 1. New hotel, but stains already showing around the basin. 2. Cheap hardware. 3. Full flush button not working. 4. No toilet roll. Only a hand towel holder (like you see in office toilets) dispensing single sheets of toilet...

    Thought United Nations at BF as I've always seen Chinese speaking officers on duty.

    Do Australian Border Force officers deliberately provoke passengers?

    This is 100%. Having said that though, nowadays, if I tell the officer checking the declaration card that I've got prescription medicine and packaged non risky foods, then they don't usually want to see them. As some of the questions contain multiple things in one, I now circle the thing that I...
