Pool is due to open on November 10th. Stayed there this week - had the tiniest room ever; no upgrade as a Plat, but they recognized me as always, had a nice chat with the front desk folks, and the room was on a high floor. I was there for about 10 hours so it didn't really matter. I do like this hotel; they try hard and the new lobby does seem to really promote interaction among the guests which I like. The staff just keeps getting better and better.
