I am supposed to stay at IC Tel Aviv and got this upgrade to executive or club room but no benefits. Is this normal?

Are there any properties having the same?

Your post implies this is a future stay, how do you know you're not getting club benefits?

Amb service has more than once clarified that at an IC a RA club upgrade means you get access.

I had a booking but refused to stay. I stayed somewhere else. For that reason i dont see any upgrade benefit. Pay breakfast and internet.

I am asking if this is normal or any other property has similar policy.

The poster indicated that he was an Ambassador rather than Royal Ambassador ( as far as I could see ) and it is definitely not unprecedented for an Ambassador upgrade not to include lounge access; there are others

With a Royal Ambassador status, the upgrade to Club Intercontinental (where available) I am also under impression that this , as you mention, does include lounge access and haven't come across anywhere trying to refuse it

This of course assumes it is a paid stay

And even then you may need to fight when using F&F rates.

Some hotels have an Executive/business level that doesn't include lounge access, but some free items like internet and pressing etc.

I had a rather nice stay as a RA at this hotel few years ago. Need to go back at some point.
