As indicated by the word "anyway," that link brings up Fairfield Inn, Residence Inn, Springhill Suites, and TownePlace Suites properties -- at least those that comply with the brand standards and are properly flagged in the Marriott.com database.

But that has nothing to do with the Gold/Platinum lounge/breakfast benefit at non-resort Marriott, Renaissance, JW Marriott, Autograph Collection, and Delta Hotels properties.

Sharon's lists are wonderful because they provide additional information about how the lounge/breakfast benefit is provided.

I eat breakfast every day, whether at home or on the road. I pay for rooms with my own money, and I appreciate a good breakfast.

The Gold/Platinum breakfasts at full-service properties, whether in the lounge or in the restaurant, are usually much better than the breakfasts at select-service properties where the room rate includes breakfast for everyone, regardless of status. The coffee is usually better at full-service properties too.
