Checked out this morning after a three-day stay on points. Very good value to me!

Uber from airport @ 35,800 ($5 USD) worked well, as did trip to airport from hotel today. Recognized as Platinum at check-in, choosing daily (buffet) breakfast in restaurant instead of points. Spacious king room at end of hallway on club floor. Engaging the shower was a bit tricky, and the bedside socket was dead (used the one behind the nightstand via my generic Mogics bagel), but those were minor quibbles. Also received a coupon for a free drink.

Good thing I chose breakfast as the lounge was only staffed from 18.00 - 20.00 for evening reception. Overall mediocre lounge food, with local beer or house red/white wines included. Great staff. Breakfast quibble that the manager would bring bill to sign while I was in the middle of eating (literally), standing expectantly rather than just dropping it off. I got the impression they had an issue with fraud (crashers), as they seemed to need to verify that I hadn't used another drink coupon already.

Overall, a great stay that I found a good use of points. Uber to/from downtown worked well. Wifi worked fine consistently.
