Just wanted to check what experience others have had with this, and is it worth staying at the property if "only" having Plat status and basically not receiving any benefits.
Normally in domestic US properties, staying in a suite does not grant you club access unlike internationally - this is just a general observation - could vary by property.

I'm a Diamond but my opinion is you're only missing out on the club access and breakfast as a platinum confirmed in a suite. It is a very nice property - FWIW I've never been in a suite at this property.
