Amsterdam Park Inn Prague PRG Radisson Rewards

2 stays earned 1 Free Friday Park Plaza Vondelpark Amsterdam and Park Inn Prague

Two of the hotel stays for my July trip in Europe were changed in recent weeks from Hyatt and Best Western hotels to Park Plaza Amsterdam Vondelpark and Park Inn Prague to take advantage of club Carlson’s Stay two times and earn a Free Friday night at any Carlson brand hotel worldwide.

I have reviewed both of these hotels in the past. This piece is not another comprehensive review for either hotel. Instead, the focus here is on how I sometimes hotel hop to take advantage of a good value promotion like Club Carlson Free Fridays.

Loyalty Traveler – Club Carlson free Friday Night every two stays or 10K points July 1–Sep 30.

Park Inn Prague Hotel Review (Feb 2, 1017).

The main difference with my stays this July compared to winter stays at these two hotels in 2017 is I paid about $120 per night in July compared to about $60 per night for winter stays.

What I like about both of these hotels are their proximity to green spaces in Amsterdam and Prague.

Vondelpark

This Amsterdam Vondelpark view is about a two minute walk from Park Plaza Vondelpark.

Vysehrad green space

This green space in the grounds of Vysehrad is about 15 minutes walk up the hill from Park Inn Prague.

Vysehrad-2 view

Vysehrad also has wonderful city views of Prague and Vltava River.

Earning a Free Friday to use October 2017 to January 2018 provides the opportunity to stay at a hotel where rates will probably be over $300 per night at a place like May Fair Hotel London, Radisson Blu Champs Elysée Paris, or a hotel in Cannes, Dublin, Edinburgh. Even a free night at Radisson Blu Aqua Chicago is a good USA redemption opportunity.
