Too early. They only do it around Summer/Winter. It does work at the Margot (the one time I tried it anyway)Anyone happen to know the latest Kimpton word, and is it working at the Margot?

Booked: 1 King Standard
Received: 1 King beach view ( received an email the night before my stay)
First time visit. Offered 2 x drink vouchers or points. Bottle of fizz and choc truffles in room.
Couldn't accept the fizz because of international HLO next day. Exchanged for a drink voucher.
The beach view was to the side but as the hotel is at one end of the beach I did have a nice view.
Nice restaurant with a beach view, if you are lucky, and wonderful breakfast (half avocados and Nuttella, not together). Nutella is getting rare in IHG hotels.
Expensive carpark at $50.00, but limited on-street parking.
The goodies are the best I've received. Crowne Plaza Surfers was a room upgrade to sea view but only one drink voucher offered and nothing else. Oh! two free bottles of water.
The place has a resort feel to it.

But couldn't get on the beach as it was closed. Bondi too! Ha-ha!Hopefully no tar balls in the rooms!
Did get the bus there? The 350 bus from T3 passes right by...
Hopefully no tar balls in the rooms!
“We’re so beach front, look what the tide bought in….”.Don’t give them anymore ideas @SYD. They’ll add them to the list to justify a new Resort Tax.
Sydney IC is by request. Adelaide is automatic (with complimentary FruChocs at times). Melbourne's is also automatic. Can't remember Perth's turndown serviceNote that turndown service is 'on request', so you need to call up and ask for it which I haven't seen at an IC previously.

I seem to always ask for the drink vouchers and still get welcome points.I'm doing a run of Crowne Plazas; Canberra, Adelaide and Surfers. All have different approaches to rewards. So far Canberra was a drink voucher and snack, with an upgrade to a suite, Adelaide upgrade to higher floor and drink voucher. (PS. Adelaide has reception on level 10 of a 20 floor.)
Surfers will be a possible room upgrade and drink voucher, or points in all case. I usually have the lowest room type booked.
Me too. Enjoy! Already planning on using them in Madrid, but only Crowne Plaza at the airport so far. In Europe once invited to raid the fridge, but only two bottle of fruit juice and two cans of Coca cola and a couple of choc bars.I seem to always ask for the drink vouchers and still get welcome points.
