(actually a sore point for me as an RA, as if not comped to all, contents would no doubt have been somewhat better )

LoM is correct though, HH-D lounge benefit is more valuable than the comped minibar, especially to me, as I don't drink spirits, just beer+colas.

Kind of wondering with entry type room rates now settling around £350 versus previous £230-280 as an IC, if extra is to replace revenue on giving away free breakfast to HHG/HHD and free lounge to HHD elites.

I really want to try post Conrad switch, but the extra £100/night is currently stopping me, and the two corporate codes I have use of don't work to reduce the rate here.
