i don't think there was any complaint in the post....it seems like he/she just made a statement that the upgrade was to an executive floor but not on the floor which has the lounge, which probably means that he/she was not aware of the fact that there are no rooms (hidden or otherwise) on that floor....

Hotel Ferry
Can anyone who has stayed at the Millennium recently confirm if they still have their hotel ferry? One TA post last week mentioned that the Hilton has discontinued the hotel ferry and told customers to use the public ferry.

Last month was available. I would be surprised if they discontinue it.

Hilton boat available last month and last week to the Saphan Taksin BTS station about every 20 minutes all day, and also goes on to Asiatique on some trips in the evening.
Boat across to River City hasn't been running for some months now, but the public ferry is about 100 yards from the Hilton pier, and costs only a few Baht.

Any recent stays? And upgrades for diamonds? Wondering if the reduction in tourism has done anything for availability and upgrades
Also, it seems that the general consensus is that breakfast in the lounge is on par with FLOW - maybe with the exception of Sunday brunch

Several or my regular hotels in Bangkok are telling me they are at 90% capacity on most days and advanced bookings for Nov/Dec are solid. The tourism lull seems to have passed.

Arriving on Thursday from Phuket.
Will arrive at the international airport (BKK) at arround 1:45pm.
What are my best bets for travel to the Millenium Hilton? Is traffic usually busy at this time?
I will have 1 suitcase only.
Am I right in thinking airport Express to Phaya Thai, then train to Siam(change) to Saphan Taskin then Hotel ferry is easy enough?

If you need to exchange money, there is a booth at Phaya Thai on the walkway between the airport train and the Skytrain, with good rates for cash, much better than the airport rates.

I did this two weeks ago, with a 145pm arrival from Singapore, one suitcase and a small backpack. It is easy to do, costs 45 baht for the train and 42 baht for Skytrain. You will need to go up or down stairs at Saphan Taskin and Phaya Thai. Took a bit over an hour, Skytrain was SRO and very crowded.

Thanks!
Looking at it the express airport train doesn't run to Phaya Thai anymore? Is that right?
Any point in taking the express to Makkasan then a taxi? Or does the defeat the purpose? Really hate sitting in any traffic!
