I did not take a screenshot when reserving since this never happened that they communicate this via FB afterwards. Frankly, we were also in a bad position since bookingi in early May rates were already escalating. There was little hope of finding a hotel to accommodate a family of 4 three weeks ago when they told me. Our room is similar in
size but as the FD stated - this is not a room that has exec Club privileges. So- between that i am a lowly Gold and then getting me I have no access (and their switching rooms for me and not putting exec lounge). We leave Monday so I will ask for the GM then. The weekend staff is not empowered (not that I tried but I can tell by interactions).
But ... did you get breakfast with the "lounge" rate or are they trying to charge you?
I get the lounge "atmosphere/space" but not sure I understand the substance of what you didn't get?
