IOW, it looks like the "walk-up" Club rate will be cheaper. Is there any benefit to reserving the Executive room? From my reading of the RA experience thread, the expected RA upgrade for mere mortals (i.e., not frequent guests) would be Classic-->Executive or Executive-->Suite?
On another note, how do they treat Club access on BOGO nights? Does one retain Club access on the free night, or is it charged?
If you are on a paid stay then the walk up rate may be better. I have not used a BOGOF at this property but in the past if I have been in a room which qualifies for Club access and used a BOGOF I have had club access on the free night too. If you pay for Club access you will still have to pay the rate even on a free night.
