Disappointing indeed.

We were considering the JW Marriott Cherry Creek for an upcoming meeting this Spring. I just spoke with my contact there, apparently this is a corporate directed pilot at the JW Cherry Crrek along with two other JW Marriotts (she did not specify which ones). In lieu of the concierge lounge being closed any Gold or Platinum elites are being offered 1000 points per night or a $15 restaurant voucher per room per night to cover breakfast or apps in the restaurant in the evening. (Note that continental breakfast in the Second Home Kitchen is currently $10.)

All furnishings have been removed from the JW Marriott Cherry Creek concierge lounge and its currently being used for meeting space. It will most likely be converted to guest rooms later this year.

What is most alarming, is the fact that its a pilot test at what used to be one of the best concierge lounges in the US. Looks the CL benefit may be disappearing soon! Wonder if anything will be said about this during the investor conference call with Arne on February 19.
