[QUOTE=anonymous_third_party;32653791]Got a 2 night stay booked for next weekend at RC - hopefully, swimming pools are open by then!

Very frustrating Platinum elite doesn't get you access to Club Lounge - what other benefits will I get?[/QUOTE
Not much. No breakfast either. And suite upgrade entitlements at R-C start at Titanium.

[QUOTE=anonymous_third_party;32653791Starting to think maybe I should switch to the W?[/QUOTE]
The W doesn’t have a lounge but you would get breakfast at least, and they’re usually fairly good about upgrades, especially since I imagine they’re pretty empty these days. But it’s not quite as luxurious a hotel and there are no views directly toward the harbor, only out to the west.

Not sure what the current status of pools at either hotel is but the W’s pool is outdoors, whereas IIRC the R-C’s is inside(?), so the W pool may be more enjoyable this time of year.
