  I think we are staying in virtually every brand with hilton on a road trip in April / May.

  I doubt that any will be open by then.

  But would try if the price is right.

  Maybe at 43 i am ancient but the concept looks like something an intern on cider drew up.

  Has no class whatsoever and even as a Hilton Diamond I think I would actively avoid it.

  Want to chill out in a hotel not feel pressured to be “down with the kids”. Which by the way I totally am. Bam.

    I am older than you but I do think the Aloft concept is very good. I agree that this is possibly going a step too far with, for example, the bathroom slogans.

  + 1.
  Trying too hard.
  Will look totally out of date very soon.
  The patronising trying-to-be-funny slogan on the wall of the shower picture was enough to put me off.

  The dearth of plug sockets in even the most modern hotels has always frustrated me. I can also never understand why hotel rooms never have adequate lighting. A plethora of bedside lamps, wall lights and table lamps is NO substitute for a simple 60W bulb in the middle of ceiling. Sort it out!!!

  No Wardrobe?!? No Desk?!? – I`m out.
  Yes, we could loose some drawers – (the Mecure I stayed in last week did indeed have 35 drawers!), but where will the “safe” go if its not part of the desk on in the wardrobe?

  Interesting concept…

  I have a 5 gang extension lead that stays in my suitcase for my travels. I’m im California at the moment and every socket is spoken for with our devices plus ‘er indoors’s hair straighteners and he uber powerful hairdryer (must be a woman thing).

  Slightly OT, juat got off a delayed flight from Innsbruck and aside from having Rebecca Adlington and her entourage in CE with us the down side was we were 2 hours and 51 minutes late. Considering we bought the ticket in the sale, what kind of compensation can we expect from BA? Clearly 9 minutes short of EU compensation but any general policy BA has?

    People have got decent Avios compensation for polite complaint letters in this sort of situation

  • Rob says:

    I guess nil but never hurts to ask

    • Waribai says:

      Thanks. I’ll try my luck. Wind in the wrong direction was the issue. I was watching the clock and looking forward to our compensation when suddenly it was doors shut and we were off!

        EU court ruling last year: it’s time when doors open for disembarking that counts, not gate

  Wow, they’ve done a good job of making it look tacky.

  And why such ill feeling towards desks….I class it as an essential, even on leisure stays. Stayed at a new HIX in London the other week and they’d gone for a podium-style table with an easy chair making it totally impractical for working at.
