Will we be able to get in & out quickly? We're not picky about food--cereal, bagels, toast, yogurt are fine for us.
Is there water/sodas available throughout the day?
Would it be appropriate for me to call the Plat concierge and request a club level room (I booked a traditional room)? I'm a new Plat and not sure what is reasonable to request. From what I gather the club level rooms are quieter.
Thanks for your advice!
The main problem in the club for a family is that tables for more than 2 persons are hard to get. If you cannot find a table to sit together, everyone should keep their eyes open to grab one immediately when the previous occupants leave, before the table is cleaned. Alternatively you can grab food and bring to your room, if you get upgraded to a suite. Water and soda are available in a small refrigerator. I am not sure they will respond to any email request for rooms.
