All that, but I cannot remember the rooms!
My last stay there was probably 18 months ago, and my other stay was shortly before that. The CL stay was on a weekend, and the balcony stay was during the week. The stay with the balcony was just after Christmas, for a funeral. I was surprised that I could get a good rate at the last minute.
Both were two night stays.
The sign near the concierge level lounge stated that it was closed on the weekends. I believe that it what states at the
www.marriott.com web site as well. I stayed at the hotel Monday to Wednesday, so the Concierge Lounge was open when I was there. I did not think it was that great of a Concierge Lounge, it was crowded each time I was there and the food was not good for breakfast or in the evening. The one employee handling everything on the lounge, especially at breakfast could not keep things well stocked at all, i.e. no coffee, no silverware, ran out of eggs, etc.
You are right about the view from the balcony, it was in a corner, so you really did not have a good view on the one side at all, it looked into a hallway.
