Breakfast is included for Gold and Platinum members, and at this hotel it is actually in the restaurant. We've been very pleased with the offerings on our two stays there. Full breakfast, while the evening service in the lounge is good for some wine and a light meal, possibly dinner if you're like us and have a heavy meaty lunch!
We have not been upgraded other than to a high floor and water view, (maybe a deluxe room this 2 night stay) but we still love this hotel, especially with the pool in the basement.
