Thumbs up Trip Update

Just as a final update to a picture-perfect stay at the Towers, complimentary, full hot breakfast was delivered to the room precisely at the time requested: 9:45am. They set it up in the dining room of the suite.

Before breakfast came, we snuck down to the Executive Lounge where it was absolutely packed wall-to-wall with adults/children. They had the usual Executive Lounge fare --fruit, carbs, juices, boiled eggs, etc. and nothing extraordinary (also nothing disappointing.)

So I guess with the volume of people in the hotel paying for Executive Lounge privledges, they really need to limit Diamond access to this room as there just isn't enough room for everyone.

In any event, the hotel extended late check-out 'till 1pm and the check-out was handled smoothly in the Executive Lounge.

A 5-star visit to a 5-star property. (And the final room rate paid was $659/night before taxes.)
