I stayed there Monday night to try it, after 3 nights at Sheraton Grand Sukhumvit.

1) No upgrade to suite - ( Told no suites available) ( After 3 nights in 2 room suite at SGS)
2) Room is smaller than standard SGS room.
3) Water pressure in shower was insufficient to rinse the shampoo out of my hair,
and the shower did not drain properly, leaving pool of water on the floor.
4) I prefer the location of SGS in regard to access to transport - SGS ( and Westin)
are 2-3 minutes from Skytrain and subway; while LM is a good 15 minute walk.
5) No lounge - evening drinks are in the bar, and snack is served at table - no choices
and no re-fills.
6) I checked out too early to comment on their breakfast.
7) Wifi, while free, was very weak signal and very, very slow.
8) The only thing that I enjoyed - all the staff seemed to have been selected from a
beauty contest. While I was checking in, there were 5 very attractive young
ladies manning the reception area. But level of English did not seem very proficient.

Bottom line, I will continue to stay at SGS, and, if I need to do a mattress run,
will alternate at Westin or St. Regis. I will not be back.
