Good report!
Punki and I stayed there the night of 7/17 after flying in from SEA-SFO-JFK prior to our flight on the Concorde the next morning. The wait for the shuttle wasn't too long and when we checked in, we received an upgrade to a suite + a dinner voucher for the bar since the club had closed. This is the first time that we've received anything like that.
The suite was roomy, but starting to show it's age.
The next morning we had vouchers for a continental breakfast in the restaurant and caught the shuttle to JFK and the Concorde Lounge.
If I had know that we could have had a full breakfast in the Concorde Lounge, I would have skipped the breakfast at the hotel.

On our return flight back on 7/21 via British First, we waited for like an hour for the shuttle.

When we checked back into the hotel, there were no upgrades available. Our room was one of the smallest that we've had in a long time and was really showing alot of wear and tear. Since there was no space in the room to do our daily workout, the attendant at the desk, Maiisha, who was really helpful, let us use one of the meeting rooms the next morning.

We again had the complimentary continental breakfast in the restaurant and then met our
towncar to LGA for our flight to IAD.

The limo service, Rockaway Limo, was very reasonable ($25) and clean (Punki doesn't like cabs). They also all drive Lincoln Towncars which have more room in the backseat for long legged people like me.
We used them again a couple days later from the Times Square Westin back to JFK. The trip cost about $40.00.
