Hi,
I had a stay there the last weekend in July of this year and the Executif Lounge was open all weekend. It is actually quite nice. I beleive it was open from 7-11 on weekdays for breakfast, and from 8 to noon on weekends (don't quote me on what time they open for breakfast, but I'm pretty sure about how late they stayed open.) In fact, one morning I showed up at 11:45 and the attendant was in the process of cleaning up the buffet because nobody was in there. When he saw me come in, he went back in the kitchen and brought back everything (I didn't ask, but was quite impressed with his attention to service.) Breakfast was deluxe continental and consisted of excellent coffee, a selection of teas, very good orange juice, an assortment of breads, croissants and cereals, cheeses, fruit, and a few other nice items. No eggs or bacon and such, but a very nice selection of food nevertheless.
Every evening from 5 to 10 they serve cocktails and have a decent sized collection of mixed drinks, wines, beer, and soft drinks. Some of the wines were reserves and the liquor was top shelf. From 5 to about 7:30 or so they serve hot and cold appetizers. Again, these are quite nice. They had chicken wings, shrimp, prosciutto crudites, an assortment of cheeses and crackers, pretzels, nachos, salmon/lox crudites, spring rolls, fruit (very fresh and excellent quality) and a few other tasty delights that I can't specifically recall. The selections varied from day to day which was nice.
The only odd thing about the lounge is that it is located off the fisrt floor lobby; but that didn't bother me. The staff in the lounge were incredibly helful and friendly. I give them two thumbs up.
I hope you have a wonderful experience; I did.

The last weekend of this July (TH 25 PM--SU 28 AM) I stayed at Hilton Milwaukee City Center, where the lounge is open only Sun.-Thu., so I missed it.
I am scheduled to stay M 9/23--TH 9/26 at the Quebec Hilton on an HHonors award (OH-SO-THANK U, CNTU! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif) when the retail rate is C$279 +GST +PST per night!
Thank U for the info--I'll be sure to check out the exec. lounge!
