Agree. Also, this is a reason to save into folders the original email reservation confirmations. Provides proof that the fee didn't exist when the reservation was made. While Essex House is technically on the list for exec lounge closed on weekend/1,000 points, all FT reports are that the exec lounge is open on the weekends.
