Your photos are accurate. It is not stylish and the walls are barren but the stuff isn't actually that old. Perhaps you mean dated in terms of style which is true, it is very 2000s but it is way better than the location on Köln that appeared to have original furniture from the 1990s. I am not saying this is a Park Hyatt, I am saying it is a nice hotel for the 4500ish points per night I paid.

Parking is a massive underground complex underneath the hotel and several surrounding towers. If you park in the correct area you can take an elevator that comes out on the side of the hotel exterior. I think the rate is €22/day or like 19.60 if you have some card/app I'm not familiar with

But honestly, until the HR is fully renovated, I'd stick with non-Hyatt options in Cologne. The Wasserturm Curio is pretty good overall (main downside is the mediocre buffet breakfast). On the budget side, the Motel Ones are okay. And Marriott has some options (including a brand-new Tribute which is very cheap but somewhat outside the city center).

I would say the HR is pretty OK even before renovations. No thought about the Lindners in Cologne.

Stayed recently for 1 night at Lindner Frankfurt Main Plaza. Globalist recognition was excellent and they upgraded my award night to the Skyline 2 bedroom suite (maybe because we had 3 people). Suite was massive and great views of the city. Breakfast was great as well, lots of variety. Excellent value at 5k points a night.

Sharing for the sake of conversation, but IHG has just announced a tie-up with Germany's NOVUM Hospitality that will add nearly 120 midscale hotels to IHG's footprint in the next four years, as well as two brand debuts on the old continent; the niu brand alone adds 45 hotels to the Holiday Inn family [some of them look really good and could almost be vocos]. Makes the Hyatt-Lindner collaboration look positively paltry by comparison; this would've been great for Hyatt to bolster JdV and introduce other brands too, but... oh well.

Quite a few Lindners are already questionable and while I am all for an increased Hyatt footprint, I also strongly advocate not to dilute quality.
