The Radisson Blu in Chicago just gives you access to the business lounge with continental breakfast - nice basic selection, but cold eggs!!

In Malta (Golden Sands) they charged my partner's breakfast - not very nice.. but not much I could do.
Congratulations on your top tier status in Club Carlson
It's of my opinion when you are in a hotel and only one breakfast coupon is offered you should go to a front office manager perhaps a GM and explain why it might be in their best interest to please a frequent stay customer and the value to the hotels business as well as you as a valuable member in their program

Club Carlson is new at a true recognition program and hotels are first learning
What's important and what's not important for their program and to compete effectively against majors like Marriott Hilton Starwood IHG Hyatt and a legion of others
In the most frugal programs I know breafast may typically include for up to two persons and in the case of Hyatt up to 4 full breakfasts for registered guests in a room if there is no club lounge
And thats with a 25 less nights a year required to earn a similar status annually at Hyatt

Club Carlso will have to prove to me it's worth sticking around for to keep earning status with them.otherwise there are great program options to choose from instead
Here's to good consistent recognition in all your travels!
Cheers
