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.
