Do Marriott's have this type of lounge experience?
...
Now that I'm a Gold and have never experienced the lounges in Europe, I'm wondering if it's worth spending the points for the Marriott or spending the bucks for the Ren.
According to the
sitcky (at the top of the forum), both the Ren and FS Marriott have lounges open on the weekend. As a Gold you should have access to them.
Not sure about the free booze, but it was free in Amsterdam, so maybe. I think there's a thread on that, but not a sticky. Search is your friend.
