Was told that there was not a lounge and hadn't seen the recent discussions on that so let it go. Breakfast also not included (25 euro - didn't eat there, but it looked good.) Was offered my choice of platinum amenities (took points - they haven't shown up yet), etc. etc.

On checkout they tried to charge me for internet, but waived the fee when I reminded them it should be free. No major issues there, either.

Overall, I was pleased with the hotel - not great, but for what we were looking for (a place to crash between touring around), it was fine. Facilities were in good condition and clean, employees were all helpful and friendly. My only real beef (until I heard about the fact that there was a lounge) was that parking seemed a bit spendy (20 euro/night), but realistically that's equivalent to other hotels in the region.
