HOP (Melbourne Hilton On the Park) Rooms and general discussion

[DeKa]

I've got a sub $200 rate booked for an upcoming stay at HOTP.
NOR1 is offering the relaxation suite for $99 ... so a total of nearly $300/night.

Is it worth this price?
Things to consider are in my decision are
- I'm Gold, so don't have guaranteed lounge access, and this provides it
- I need to have some meetings where we'll be using a laptop (preferably on a big screen with my HDMI cable). If the TV is good, it would save me booking/organising something else.

Thanks for your input.

That's only a decision you can make but I would say that your odds of lounge access and an upgrade are pretty good at this property.

Re the TV I am not sure what you mean.

Currently in Rm #913 and the wireless internet is awful but good through the cable. TV reception is also poor.

If it's a cheap rate, I'd assume it'd be relatively quiet at the Hotel and therefore chances of upgrade are good. FWIW, I have been upgraded to a relaxation suite every single time I've stayed at this property - I'm a Diamond though. Personally, I don't think I'd pay to have the room itself, it's nice, but nothing like the HSW suites. I guess you need to decide whether guaranteed lounge access is worth a hundred bucks. I don't think it is.

Especially as you will almost certainly get it at this property.

My laptop has HDMI ... so rather than going out, I can use the Television (TV) with HDMI to work on a presentation with others.
I expect if I got an upgrade, it would only be to an Exec room... unless you think otherwise (I have no idea what room 913 is like)

Hopefully no Hotel Lock on the inputs!
