jkc22,
I think you are right that Markie will be treated special from now on.
I want to be a VIP too, but I don't have anything to complain about anymore! After 8 stays in the last three months, I know at least 10 people at the hotel. It feels like home to me.
I've decided I will be happy here as long as I get lounge access and chocolate. I'm not going to fight to get into the renovated tower anymore. Besides, I want to see what the rooms in the other tower look like. The other tower is also much closer to the pool!
