Any updates on the property, especially the rail service? I'll be arriving from Seattle via Amtrak and departing via cruise ship.
It's not my first choice, but unfortunately the Ren is fully booked, the Pinnacle is exorbitantly priced during my stay, and rewards are blacked out for the entire city 4 months in advance.

The Disney cruise ship departs on July 26. I booked under the Park and Fly room rate, which is lower than paying for a room and 7-day parking separately. My current plan is to drop the family off at the cruise terminal, park at the hotel, and then take the SkyTrain back.

I'm assuming the answer is no, but does anyone know if the airport property's exec lounge is open on the weekend? If not, do they provide brekkie coupons? If closed, is it key accessible for sodas? Is there an i-net terminal?
If you know answers to the above, please post & I'll update the exec lounge stickey.
Cheers.

I'm newly/temporarily gold (via "taste of gold" promotion), so your questions really got me thinking. I just called up the hotel since I will be staying there in late July.
* Concierge lounge is closed at 9am on Friday and re-opens on Sunday night (forgot to ask the time)
* Breakfast certificate will be provided for on-site restaurant or room service
* Call Concierge to let you in to get snacks/water during weekend closure
* One laptop in concierge & two computers at business center

Yes, we used our visa with no problems.
We stayed at this property last year before a cruise - we were meeting friends at the airport in the morning (we flew in the night before) so it was convenient.
We arrived at about 10:30 at night - the restaurant was closed, but the Sheraton next door still served food in the bar, so it was fine.
We were upgraded to a corner suite - two rooms and a door to the smallest balcony ever.
I'd stay again under similar circumstances.

stayed here two nights on the weekend as a platinum.
location is useful, near the mall and some very good dim sum places.
staff are casual but nice.
got upgraded to a 1br suite on the 5th floor which had a baclony and living room area but no bath tub. very nice room but no patio furniture. room was very modern and bed comfortable.
gym and pool and hot tub are nice.
lounge was only open for cold snacks, so i was offered:
1000 point amenity
750 points for no breakfast
the lounge had chocolate milk always available so i was very happy.
we also took the do not disturb sign off at 12:30pm and we returned at night time with an unserviced room. so we agreed on 1500 points, or 3x the make a green$$$choice.
will return, this property new and nice.

Stayed here last night and was quite impressed in the staff. I left my bike and ski bag 2 days before my check-in so I didn't have to cart them over to Victoria. Upgraded to the best room in the hotel (as per the front desk guy) which was a 2 bedroom suite with balcony. I was thanked for my status at check-in and had no problem with a 4pm check-out. All the staff were quite cheery whenever I walked through the lobby and the server in the restaurant was excellent.
