I hate when properties don't have lounges and get away with high categories (cough...Rome). IMHO European lounges are excellent and I try to avoid staying at props without them (especially given the high cost of everything there). I definitely would choose the Marriott in Copenhagen just for the lounge if the Ren Malmo becomes a 5. It would be a way better use of points to pay the extra 10K points a night for a decent lounge and bigger rooms.
I really hope the next megabonus offers cat. 1-5.
