Some upgrades

I just spent 3 nights at the Renaissance Jaragua. Paid the cheapest rate ($99 the first two and $75 the last night with hotel sold out) which was supposed to put me in the garden building. However, we were upgraded to the main building on club level. The first night we ended up having a 3rd person with us, and they gave us a rollaway for free and did not charge us for a 3rd occupant. They also gave us a wireless code that worked for 3 of us (3 different computers), which was really nice.
My biggest excitement was that the fitness center has been completely renovated. It used to be complete crap probably 20 years old. It now has all new LifeFitness machines. 4-5 treadmills, 3 ellipticals and several bikes. In addition to lots of weights (those aren't all new). Locker rooms were renovated as well.
The executive lounge is open 6 a.m.-midnight with full breakfast til 10 a.m., basic snacks and soft drinks available during day and more extensive appetizers/desserts in evening. The staff there is incredibly nice and helpful, especially Frank.
