Checked in again at The Lorien this evening for an 8 night stay.
Clerk didn't recognize me but did not perform any ritual for the options ... said that hotel was completely full for the weekend and could not give me an upgrade ... had already been informed that I had walked so quickly said "you don't need parking" ... asked if I wanted a bottle of red or white wine but then quickly said "your Spire Elite and we've already given you a bottle as an amenity" (I didn't know that because obviously I hadn't yet been to the room -- a bottle of red with a plate of fresh fruit) ... so then asked if there was something else that I'd like, and I answered that I'd appreciate breakfast, and she came back with 8 American breakfast vouchers, one for each morning! NICE!
