I arrived on Friday, and as @shillard wrote, the lounge has been completely jammed for evening cocktail service. Friday we arrived around 7:15, and the line was so bad they were inviting people to go back to their rooms and wait to be called. I thought they were offering to send food to one's room while one waited, but I saw streams of people (including one family with many kids in strollers and toddling) carrying food to their elevators, so perhaps I misunderstood.

I have two questions for @shillard, [MENTION=10051189]mrflintstone[/MENTION], and others who stayed recently: (1) are there stand-alone waste-baskets in the room?, and (2) at check-in, did the agent mention the executive lounge dress code for evening cocktails?

My last stay was right after the renovations, and I was surprised that there did not seem to be any waste-basket except in the bathroom. I had noticed a frame attached to the inside of one of the furniture doors (see images below) but thought it was for organizing papers. After I left I asked about this out of curiosity, and was told that the frame is in fact where one is supposed to deposit rubbish. On this stay there is a standalone waste-basket in the room as well as in the bathroom. I wonder if that's just for me because I asked about it, or they now have this standard?
