EDITION and Design Properties - Breakfast included except for award stays?
I've noticed a few European Edition & Design hotels that don't have any non breakfast included cash rates for sale, at least the dates I am looking at. Edition Bodrum is one example - there are others. But when you book with Marriott points there is no mention of breakfast and then you get an email from the property letting you know breakfast will be 25+ Euros per person. I know breakfast is excluded as a Platinum benefit at these properties but I find it a bit disingenuous of them to treat award stays in this way, is this against the program rules in any way? The bookings are in summer so its definitely peak period and rates are several hundred Euros a night, so still a good deal, but even as a Premier Platinum I feel like I may be setting up for less than stellar stay.
