Overall I am satisfied with the treatment that I receive at this hotel regardless of the club lounge controversy.

I can't believe that this is still an ongoing issue...

The above post as well as post #544 (and perhaps others) show that this property WILL grant club access when available. If you review this thread you will notice that this club access issue basically occurs during the extremely high tourist season of the months of July and August when this hotel is fully booked - I've been here a number of times during August and believe me it is. It has not been reported outside of this time-frame if I remember correctly.

Above post also shows that many (if not most) Plats will be happy to accept breakfast in the restaurant in lieu of lounge access.
