What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum.

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, very pleased.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King, received same with lounge access, which includes breakfast Mon-Fri and evening appetizers from Sun-Thu. Platinum members can also choose between 600 points or a trail mix and bottle of H2O.

How are the rooms?
Spacious. Pleasing modern decor. Smartly designed.

How is the exec. lounge?
Excellent in the evening with Cathy being a wonderful host. A huge contrast from the cynical, bitter breakfast lady in the mornings.

What was good and what was bad?

Good
+Smooth check-in, almost everyone were very warm and friendly
+Attractive lobby, nice carpeting in floor hallways leading to rooms
+Ultra-comfortable beds/pillows
-Quiet location, great soundproofing, slept great all week
+Stylish room
+Massive LCD TV with great channel selection, mostly in HD
+Comfortable ottoman
+A1 quality Templespa toiletries
+Good shower pressure and heat
+Awesome jet spa and pool area, and open late to 12am daily
+Wonderful platinum lounge in the evenings from 5-7:30pm Sun-Thu. Cathy, who runs the evening service, is a star employee who goes way above and beyond
+Altitude restaurant/bar downstairs serves excellent food at reasonable prices

Bad
-Breakfast lady in Platinum lounge (Jean?) was condescending, rude and routinely closed 20-30+ minutes before scheduled 10am cut-off time in order to skip out early
-No fridge or microwave in room, though can be reserved through front desk
-Very little within walking distance (and city buses sketchy), you will need a car here

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Regular summer rates around $120, very fair. Regular points 20k, a good deal. For pointbreaks, an unbeatable value.
