The resort exclusion specifically applies to the Gold/Platinum Elite lounge/breakfast benefit at four full-service brands (Marriott, JW Marriott, Renaissance, Autograph Collection).

The Fairfield Inn and Suites brand promises "Free hot breakfast featuring scrambled eggs, sausage, and other healthy options" to all guests. There is no requirement for Gold/Platinum Elite status. There is no exclusion for "resorts." But, somehow, the Fairfield Inn across from Disneyland is allowed to thumb its nose at this brand standard.
