Question so Fairfield doesn't mean free breakfast after all? then what does it mean??????

Do you mean this one:

https://www.marriott.com/hotels/trav...eyland-resort/

If so, I disagree that it's very clear on their web site. Yes, I do realize that when I link their website here and pull it up, it says:
"Note: There is NO complimentary breakfast offered at our hotel."
But I realize it only because I tried to disprove it by posting the link here from my hotel search.

When I do a hotel search for Anaheim, and that hotel comes up, and I click the name of hotel on the results list, even though it uses the same link, it comes up with a totally different (popup) page, and that pages makes no clear mention of the breakfast not being included! (And that page is all I'd look at if I was booking through the hotel results page!)

(And even on the above stand-alone page, it's buried inside a very long paragraph. Some other hotel programs would put a glaring exception to brand policy like this in red or something like that.)

Anyway, why of why does Marriott claim on other (general) pages (and advertising) that Fairfield Inn (always) means free breakfast for all, and then make exceptions? If this is a hotel with a full-service restaurant, why in the world isn't it a different Marriott family brand???
