Are these reservations in the UK? If so, as Gold, you normally will be entitled to full breakfast, even though the stated benefit is a continental breakfast. Same usually applies in Europe and Asia. However, in the US, it's usually (not always) just a continental breakfast or even a voucher towards breakfast, and this varies depending on the property.
