This is very confusing because some hotels gives the lounge access if room is upgraded to a club / executive level or above. I personally have been given the lounge access in Sofitel Manila when I was gold. In Sofitel Budapest as gold, I was given the lounge access once when upgraded to a club room, but the second time I didn't get the access.
Not anymore. They've been quite strict lately. It's more good will than a 'right' for Gold to be given a lounge access with an upgrade to Exec floor.
On a side note, just returned from Sofitel Manila, I rate highly of the lounge.
