By the way, are these benefits ($25 & $35) per person or per room per day? To make things more gray, if I book through Amex FHR, how would the breakfast work then? I have tried calling & emailing them directly, to no avail.
The $25 elite breakfast credit is per person per day up to two people based on what I overheard. The $35 destination fee is per room per day. So assuming two people in room you would have $85 in credits per day to apply for breakfast. Keeping in mind you are actually paying $35 for the credit via the mandatory destination charge. Honestly it is a scam and I generally will avoid hotels who play that game unless like here I am getting such a deal that it is worth it for me to swallow my pride and pay the fee.
