FWIW, the Center City Philly CY is an exceptionally good property, as is the Bellevue CY. CY is rumored to be Marriott's most profitable brand with its highest occupancy rate, so it doesn't seem to need to do anything differently. CY just isn't that into us Plats, which we just have to accept.
true--several years ago I was plat elite marriot and actually switched because the bistro concept pissed me off so bad--lol. I am crabby about very little, but when I spend 130 plus on a hotel room, my favorite thing is to grab a cup of brewed lobby coffee and read the paper--Im up very early and its a ritual for me--i stayed at a courtyard that had taken away the lobby coffee and I was supposed to wait on line and pay for a starbucks. not for me. I did wait on line and it it was busy, a long wait and I realized this was not for me-everyone has their deal breakers and for me that was it
