That's asking a lot imo to expect a free breakfast for all members of the party rather than one person who is the Platinum member.

Yes, I'm sure some folks will "flame" me here but it does seem that that is taking a bit advantage of the program and then to be upset because you had to pay for breakfast rather than have it "free" well. . .

As a mof, Westin Bellevue has no lounge and once in a while will give a free breakfast coupon for the buffet, but it is hit or miss with them. This whole free breakfast thing seems to come up in this forum a lot - perhaps when Starwood is revisiting benefits for Plats this could be like the amenity and offered so that somebody can select it if they want it? Just a suggestion.
