ADDED: Sorry, I was confused. I had a AAA rate which included breakfast in the restaurant. I think I ordered from the menu rather than being forced to take continental or a buffet.
Others have reported that a credit of $16.50 per person was given which I insisted upon given that I had friends who also received this. The property seems to be determined to move away from this however,
Breakfast at Bank was rather good in the end however. I just hate being restricted to the same choice very day. It is about time Starwood had a brand standard which specified that Plat should be able to upgrade their breakfast for a maximum specified fee (e.g. $10). Cornfakes, coffee, juice and croissant is not really a breakfast I want on a daily basis.,
