Perhaps your rumblings, as well as others', changed their minds.
Free i-net in rooms is standard for Gold/Plats as of January this past year, and breakfast M-F for G/P is standard policy for Marriotts that don't have lounges (resorts excepted). Doesn't sound like Shelbourne is doing anything extraordinary, but simply complying w/ Marriott policy.
Cheers.
