Thanks, much appreciated. I had read your previous review, however it was just after the change and wanted to know whether between then/now Marriott had turned it into a twin of the Marriott City Centre.

"the polar opposite of the overpacked and dreary ones at the Marriott Marquis" - This is what I was hoping for, I gave up on the lounge when I stayed at the Marriott, as you say, cramped, poor service, poor food. A large peaceful lounge with good service is essential for me.
