There are no suites in the Tower. So one of the stays they gave me a Towers room and the next stay they gave me a suite in the Main Building and full access to the Towers Lounge for all 3 of us--my daughter stayed one night with us on the second visit. She was there all the time during the first one. So it was a great experience.
I did not understand the 8500 points issue--did they charge you that much extra for a few hours stay??? We were given a 6PM check out without any problems.
I, too, wasn't impressed by the BUkhara-- I found the buffet excellent and great value.
