@OP the concierge lounge at some of the hotels look old and tired. And they have this weird old hotel smell. I wouldn't think the restaurant could do any worst.

That's not untrue

Merry Christmas

@D1 - you experienced it too?

What if they say go have breakfast the stupid lounge?

You keep insisting it's at the restaurant, just like it was the past x number of stays you've had there. They're not going to make a huge fuss over it especially to a member with status

Um, it's the exact same food.
