Update: I recently made a reservation for Feb. Called the hotel to give them my preference and only to find out they updated their upgrade policy.

The new policy effective 1st Jan 2013 is
RA can no longer choose between suite or club - RA gets a two -level upgrade to a King Junior suite (53SQM). Comparing to previous upgrades, this is a room that is slightly bigger than a standard room with NO separate living area. Previously the suite was 123SQM or around that.
Club Access will be sold to RA for $29.95 per day. It will not be included for RA unless you book a room with club access.
With Club access, you can choose to have the breakfast in the restaurant or in the club.

I will take more pictures after i stay there in Feb. However, this 'standardization' is for the worse...
