Had the "Welcome Home" greeting on my last stay in a junior suite, in lotus petals on my bed. For some reason, they thought they had "upgraded" me to it even though that was actually the booked room type.
I can honestly say that I've never been disturbed by other tourists in the Lotus Wing or elsewhere but then I do tend to zone out a bit when I'm there because it's so relaxing.
