Thanks for the detailed review! Just one small FYI regarding breakfast privileges - the daily complimentary breakfast for Platinum and above is for the Asia-Pacific region, so I doubt that Turkish hotels anywhere on the Asian side of the Strait would provide the daily complimentary breakfast benefit.
