And if you aren't on a club lounge floor and aren't a globalist, I don't see how you would automatically be given lounge access just because you are in a suite somewhere else on the property. I stayed at HR Minneapolis, HR Tulsa, HR Miami (back when I think they had a club?), in suites/pre globalist and they never gave me club access (granted, that was all several years ago).
Exactly that’s why it’s such a strange concept to me that one would associate a suite with automatic lounge access especially when the lounge is usually several floors away.
