The only breakfast benefit is whatever the lounge offers.

All of this is in the T&Cs: https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/mem...s/guarantee.mi

Frankly I think this is the kind of stuff that makes the franchisees go crazy.
Good question. The person I spoke to at the Front Desk did not mention the lounge when I asked about the elite breakfast offering. I had booked a Friday night stay when many of the US lounges are closed and this location is listed as CLOSED in the Executive Lounge Master Thread. In the past I've used the lounge on a weekday stay and the restaurant on a weekend stay with a coupon that the waitress said was applicable to use on any menu items. Read a post/review somewhere about an elite not getting the breakfast, so decided to call the property. The first time the Front Desk didn't answer the phone. The next day they picked up and provided what I thought was a pretty definitive answer of no breakfast for elites during my stay. That's all I know (insert Get Shorty meme).

Cheers,
