Just completed a weekend stay at the Newport RI Marriott. Concierge lounge is closed on weekends, and breakfast coupons were provided (although the front desk stated that Platinums may only have 'cold' items at the breakfast buffet. Hot items are reserved for paying buffet guests) 8-O.
The location is great, but I woke up both mornings with significant back pain. That happens maybe once every five years when I am in a hotel with cheap, soft and/ or old mattresses. I was surprised -- last time this happened was in a dive somewhere out west. It wasn't just my room either, as a friend on a different floor had the same painful morning reaction.
Marriott needs to enforce minimum mattress standards at this property.
