What you said is
not true,
travelisfree!
drspear said
some hotels, and that
is the
correct info.
Start here:

95% of my stays at Holiday Inns I get a free breakfast as a Plat. (But that's because I'm a leisure traveler only, and belong to lots of hotel programs, so can afford to limit by Holiday Inn bookings only to those particular hotels that research shows provide breakfast to Plats. The 5% failure rate is those hotels that changed their policy on breakfast for Plats between the time someone else posted it worked there and the time I stayed there.)
Now, this may not always be the breakfast you want (it may be a subset of the buffet at one hotel, it may not include any juice at another hotel, etc), but it is free breakfast to Plats (maybe to Golds too in some cases?), specific to those hotels.
(But no, being Royal Ambassador does not improve your changes. Only reserarching which hotels have a history of giving Plats free breakfast, and sticking to those hotels, improves your chances.)
