... is this thread about? When is any globalist ever offered restaurant breakfast breakfast at any just that has a lounge (unless if on a Privé rate or something?). I've stayed at some of the GHs mentioned (Taipei, New York) as well as a few others (Tokyo, Seoul) as well as a few HRs (SF, Maui, Waikiki) and I have never once been offered restaurant breakfast instead of the lounge, nor would it have occurred to me to ask for it. Who would you even ask for that? The person who checks you in does not have the authority to approve that. Do you ask to speak to a manager every time you check in?
