The lounge doesn’t serve breakfast. Only coffee and juice in the morning.
I always find it interesting when they markup the Continental --> Hot Buffet upcharge over what the standard customer would pay. That hotel charges $4 extra ($19-->$23) to non-elites to get a hot buffet, but the elites pay a little more. Saw the same deal at the last Westin I stayed at, $1 extra upcharge there too, and no option to just choose a cheaper menu meal without paying full price.
