Thanks! At this one in particular, I am not sure how much status adds, though it is definitely recognized. The excellent happy hour is free for everyone, and I think breakfast is, too--at least, we didn't have to pay, and as I noted above, it was busy. We definitely were upgraded and got a later checkout than normal (2 PM vs. 12 PM). (My wife has Ambassador status.) There is the normal "elite status" check-in line, and a manager came to where we were sitting to introduce herself.
P.S. It was a shame we didn't experience more of the country, and I certainly want to come back.
