Hi GUWonder-
you've gotten at the heart of my issue there. I wouldn't usually be concerned about not getting breakfast or transfers at a Calrson propery, but since they advertise them on the website as included with every paid room, it seemed a bit much to me to not just have to pay extra for them on a points stay but significantly more than seemed reasonable. I guess they feel that their location will guarantee sufficient paying customers that they don't want people using points... Seems odd, since I thought Carlson reimbursed them for points stays, but maybe it isn't as much as they'd get from cash stays...
