I was just there and checked out the new lounge. The space is a big improvement. I was told this used to be Arnold's suite when he was governor. I imagine a few cigars were smoked on the terrace
The terrace is the big news. It's really nice:

The food and beverage area could get a little tight:
Bonus points if anyone knows how to rotate photos uploaded to the FT gallery:
Breakfast was the same as always. They did not have the cookies out this afternoon. Hope that's not a permanent change.
Otherwise the stay was as usual. Super nice staff. Big hassle to get a decent room (Q: "Why didn't you give me the corner room in the first place?" A: "You didn't book that room type."). Internet was terrible . . . I now just use my iPhone as personal hotspot.
