Arrival in Warsaw Airport
Holiday Inn Express Warsaw Airport provides complimentary shuttle service to the hotel. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes. We waited about 10 minutes for the shuttle to arrive. I called the airport to make sure the shuttle would pick us up. We were the only passengers at 9:30pm.
Funny thing is we had to wait several minutes in the shuttle van just outside the airport terminal for a long train slowly passing across the main airport access road.
Welcome to Poland.
The hotel restaurant and bar were still lively and filled with more than a dozen diners at 10pm on a Wednesday night.
Welcome to Poland.
Basic and nice Holiday Inn Express Warsaw Airport hotel.
After dropping luggage off at the room we headed downstairs for dinner and beer.Â
We were ready for a bed after more than 24 hours of travel and a Barcelona Airport pub crawl on our 4 hour layover between the Level flight from Oakland and the Vueling flight to Warsaw.
I was surprised how cheap beer was at Barcelona Airport.
The next morning I was ready to roll out of bed with morning coffee.
Kelley got up in time for morning complimentary HIX breakfast. We were able to hang out at the hotel until noon, then take the free shuttle back to Warsaw Chopin Airport.
My $58 hotel night at HIX Warsaw Airport earned enough points for 7 PointBreaks reward nights. I will be staying three nights this week with IHG hotels on PointBreaks for 15,000 total points.
IHG Rewards Club has provided fantastic value for me on hotel stays in Europe these past few years.
Holiday Inn Express Warsaw Airport reward nights are 15,000 points per night. Paid rates are generally around 250-300 PLN ($68-$82 USD).
