The breakfast quality at lounge is poor comparing to Renaissance. As Plat booking a classic room, only got upgrade to executive level, which means is a standard room on higher floor, since plat entitled to lounge. They didn't even upgrade the the next level room grand deluxe. Only if you ask.
During my check out day 2 pm housekeeping knock and ask to clean the room, I was confused and told them I will check out on 4 pm. I though they were reminding me to check out , since if your check out time is 4 , I assuming if you will receive a house keeping service on the same day a lot earlier . Later on 4 pm knocking my door again, and later I realize house keeping didn't even know I was check out today ,this is really confusing and unprofessional.

Thought the room at LM is a lot better than Renaissance, I would choose Ren for more consistent service(especially in the lounge), better breakfast quality , and certainly no house keeping issue before you check out.


And I also found the wifi in the room is unstable sometimes.As previous review already pointed out.
Sometimes hotels upgrade you to the executive floor thinking that is an upgrade to a better room.

Housekeeping want to clean your room before check out so that they can finish their room allocations for the day before the shift finishes at 3pm. That is why they came to clean your room before check out. I have had it happen a few times at other hotels when i check out at 4pm.
