i found the club lounge breakfast quite wonderful. eggs were cooked to order each morning. check-in within the club lounge went smoothly, ambassador benefits were honored. the suite was large and soundproof. it faced a school but i didn't hear any noise.
the music outside was really loud at night. it made sleeping a real challenge. i think the hotel should consider the noise impact on guests.
