The Paris Rive Gauche handled the new policy by giving us (family of 5 in two rooms, which were upgraded no charge to basically a 2 bed room suite facing the city) half off breakfast during the weekend. We used the deal on Sat. Of course free is better, but I do want Marriott to stay in business. If the Corp. policy in not to provide breakfast than the Rive Gauche made it win-win. They probably didn't make much money on our breakfast and we didn't feel terribly ripped off.
