We stayed at this hotel last night, had a Cat. 1-4 that I didn't really have a better use for and the hotel is only 20 minutes from our house.

We were upgraded in advance to a Parlor Suite that was also a corner room, so the parlor area was a little bigger than the parlor suite we were upgraded to on our previous stay.

When I checked in towards the end of the process I asked if we got access to the Royal concierge lounge as a Globalist and they said we do, they would key our key to allow access to the 5th floor for this (which didn't work the first time and the second agent gave me a key for just 5th floor access).

Free wine and beer (five or so choices of beer, Bud, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Boulevard Pale Ale, and Boulevard Wheat), and the 'appetizers' consisted of a large charcuterie board and a small tray of cake bites of some sort I didn't try. They also had bottled water available at all times, small 8 ounce bottles. No other beverages were available (e.g., no soda pop)

Of course I'll take the win of the lounge not having breakfast and being forced to get the Globalist breakfast in the restaurant. The food in the restaurant is good, though they are a little slow the two times we've been. The bill for our family of four was completely taken care of this time, last time we had an overage of $23.88, but I did have the steak and eggs that time and I think my wife may have had a mimosa.

A few pictures of the lounge, it seats about 30 total.
