The IC neighbourhood is just fine, the staff are professional and helpful. I have enjoyed my stays there. It's a block away from Paulista, MASP and the metro.
Club is a small, reasonably comfortable, lobby area by the lifts on the XX (club) floor. No reception, just a breakfast buffet and cold food/drinks in the evening. The lack of supervision means you might surprise a guest making off with an entire tray of sandwiches, or snaffling the beer for room consumption, but you can probably get things replenished. There are two PC's as well. I imagine any guest who knows of the existence of the lounge can use it.
At weekends the lounge gets even more low-profile, and disappears. You are offered a drink in the bar downstairs.
My RA upgrade has been to a full suite comprising a small living room and bedroom.
