The lounge access and free breakfast is the appeal for me. I agree, room upgrades are hard. We have been more successful with the upgrades at Marriotts in Europe than in the US. We just got upgraded from a standard room to a two-room suite at the Westin Excelsior in Rome last month.Somehow I got lifetime Platinum awhile ago. It never did me any good at all until this past year at a real Marriott hotel where I got lounge access and a free breakfast. The mythical room upgrade continues to elude me.
