I have stayed here twice--both times got a very small room with a single queen bed. I don't know if they will offer larger standard rooms/two beds. The rooms are beautifully laid out--one of the best uses of compact space I have ever seen. My most recent stay was two months ago--no Diamond upgrade and no use of lounge permitted. But I did get a free buffet breakfast in the restaurant on ground level.

Is it worth 40,000 points? Barely. Revenue prices often approach $400. And what good alternatives are there? The convenience factor if you are coming in or going out of Treminal 4 is fantastic. If no--other options should be considered--though I do not know which other nearby hotels are worthwhile alternatives.
