Does this hotel have non-valet parking or is it valet only? What if I don't want to give anyone the keys to my vehicle, is there a self-parking for this hotel either onsite or next door (like a mall garage that somehow connects to the hotel by tunnel/elevator or airbridge)?

What's sad is that the Boston Marriott Copley Place did provide room service breakfast while their lounge was closed during at least early 2021 (pandemic) - at the same time, the Marriott Long Wharf (also on the list) didn't provide breakfast for free despite offering it paid. As a result, the Copley Marriott seemed like a better choice. Their refusal to provide breakfast when the lounge is closed does drive me to consider the Westin next door far more.

I feel a bit out of the loop lately, but hasn't Marriott now launched something called "M Lounge" and isn't that the new name for the executive lounge? On the hotel's website it now shows you can purchase a pass if you don't have a room that allows access to it, and it seems like you can purchase for weekends (but at a higher price). So does this mean the executive lounge is now open on weekends in summer 2024 for platinum members? Also, how will breakfast work here if it is correct that the lounge is now open 7-days a week (considering the above exclusion list)?
