Never understood staying at an inferior and older hotel for a ‘good club lounge.’ It’s mediocre free stuff. Beach, no beach. Nothing like passing on tiered infinity pools at a boutiquey hotel for that all day lounge...you like old and free. The Andaz ain’t that... - also a reason a lot of people like it (and the hotel knows it).
