The reflections of an infrequent frequent flyer

Review: Waldorf Astoria La Quinta

The Waldorf Astoria La Quinta resort is located just outside Palm Springs and one of a number of properties that Hilton had in the area. I chose this one because I wanted a little bit of luxury following the Hampton Inn in Lake Havasu. I arrived about 5 pm after a long day of driving… Read More Review: Waldorf Astoria La Quinta

Review: Hampton Inn, Lake Havasu City

The Hampton Inn in Lake Havasu was the only Hilton property in the area, and as I was trying to stay eight nights in Hilton, this was the obvious choice. I arrived around 5 pm and was able to park in the designated Diamond parking area close to the front door – what a perk…!… Read More Review: Hampton Inn, Lake Havasu City

Review: The Waldorf Astoria Arizona Biltmore

I wanted to stay in Phoenix for a night before I headed to Las Vegas to start my road tip and I needed a Hilton hotel for the status match. There were loads to choose from, and I ended up choosing the Arizona Biltmore as it wasn’t much more than many of the other hotels… Read More Review: The Waldorf Astoria Arizona Biltmore

Review: H Hotel Los Angeles, Curio Collection by Hilton

After a day of flying in 1A from Bucharest to LA via London and New York, I knew that I would want a bed for the night, and this gave me another opportunity to clock up a night towards the status match challenge. There are loads of Hiltons in the area surrounding LAX – 14… Read More Review: H Hotel Los Angeles, Curio Collection by Hilton

When not booking the cheapest room is cheaper

I am always on the lookout for a bargain and am happy to do a little bit of extra legwork to save a few quid. Perhaps counterintuitively, this often involves ‘spending’ a little bit more money when it comes to booking hotel rooms. Like with any service, variable pricing allows the vendor to strike the… Read More When not booking the cheapest room is cheaper

Review: The Hilton Athenee Palace, Bucharest

The Athenee Palace Hilton is the ‘highest’ level of the brand in the city. There are now 3 others – the Hilton Garden Inn in the Old Town, the DoubleTree at Unirii Square and the new Hilton Garden Inn at the airport. I chose the Hilton as it had an Executive Lounge. I originally booked… Read More Review: The Hilton Athenee Palace, Bucharest

Review: InterContinental Bucharest

I have stayed in the InterContinental Bucharest twice, both at the start of trips to Phoenix on the OTP-PHX fares, and both times have been great. It is great value for money and in a decent location, 5 minutes walk from the pedestrianised centre, but on the right side of town for the trip out… Read More Review: InterContinental Bucharest

MeliáRewards – what are they and how can they help get you cheaper Avios?!

Last May half term, I stayed at the Meliá Cala Galdana hotel in Menorca. It was a great hotel in a fabulous location with top notch service in The Level. Now, as a standard member, points are earned at the rate of 10 per € spent. There is a multiplier as you go up the… Read More MeliáRewards – what are they and how can they help get you cheaper Avios?!

Review: Hilton Doha – a shocking start and a suite end

We had booked a stop over in Doha to break up the journey home, and I chose the Hilton because they offered day rooms. The flight from Perth landed at about 0530, so I wanted to be sure that we could get into the room, take a shower and relax as soon as we arrived.… Read More Review: Hilton Doha – a shocking start and a suite end

Review: InterContinental Melbourne

To continue on my theme for this trip of using redemptions for hotel stays, I chose the InterContinental in Melbourne for our one night stay. I originally booked this using a free night voucher from the Barclaycard credit card, but cancelled and used 55,000 points for this instead because the InterContinental Hong Kong was charging… Read More Review: InterContinental Melbourne
