Really at some point the lack of advantages of being platinum are going to make me take my business elsewhere. I can see closing for Friday evening, but is really that hard to put out some dry foods for people that can't get to breakfast (meetings) or want a snack before heading home for the weekend.
I would say I am batting about .250 that a hotel I am staying at having an open lounge while I am there. At many other brands that # would be closer to 80%+
Having a hard time seeing how Marriott is rewarding me for my loyalty. How can Delta offer a Free open bar at a lounge and we can't get peanuts.
Which full service marriott hotel are you staying? I am staying at Marriott Westshore (near Tampa Airport), and I found the lounge to be great. I can't comment on friday afternoon since I aways check out friday morning, but I can access the lounge 24/7 with my key from monday to friday morning. I always see non-alchoholic beverages available and some fruits.
As for Delta lounge, most Delta sky club offer mixed nuts in the jar where you can help yourself, no?
