Neither of these properties have a lounge.
They offered me breakfest in the resturant.
No water, snacks, food, desert, etc.
Should I press it in the future and ask that they let me pick off the menu without charge?
No. That is not in the rules and you are not supposed to get that.
Nor are you entitled to such under either SPG, Hilton or Hyatt, despite your top tier status.
Be happy that you are an elite in those programs, rather than demanding something you are not entitled to receive in the first place. If you don't believe me, just read the rules of each and every program.
