Le Méridien KL - NEVER (only once with SNA)
Westin - seldom (10% chance)

Indeed. The Westin is normally reliable to upgrade elites to the residence suite whatever it's called in the adjoining building. I'm almost 100% there but have only been back once since the Great Plague when I got it on a five night stay as usual. Haven't been back to LeM since I left KL in 2017 as any new stay would threaten the amazing time I had doing staycations during the lounge's refurbishment when we had free flow access to the main Buffet for the evening which was amazing. Same happened at the Sheraton Macau when they were refurbing their lounge. An evening in the hotel's buffet with free flow booze. Good times. Happy memories. Can't go back.
