The important points are:

NO access to the club lounge
(Does not say if you get a breakfast)
Room upgrades should be give, but NOT to club level floors or suites

Mr Marriott you are missing a trick here, what I am sure a lot of us that spend a lot of time in hotels, is the BEST room with every benefit under the sun when we take our 2 week holiday as a thank you to our family for their understanding of us being away so much.

For the record, I'm off to Dubai for my 2 week holiday (on points of course), but if I'm not treated like royalty, I'll be switching to another hotel chain next year.
First, welcome to Flyertalk!

Just curious - what will you do when you switch to another hotel chain & don't get everything? You could run out of hotel chains

On a dif note, I was just at an overseas property that gets 15-25 Plats checking in daily. What will you do if one of the other Plats gets the very best everything you're expecting because they got there before you or put in a request in advance? There aren't a gazillion best rooms.

And no, RC does not give free breakfast to elites IIRC. AFAIK, you just get 1,000 points and free internet.

Cheers.
