Mike, thanks for your response. You're right about the property; I've stayed here before and I would recommend this property to anyone.
As a matter of fact, I'm here at the Atlanta Marriott Suites for the weekend. And to answer my previous post (question), you do receive free breakfast as a gold member. A letter was given to me (with my room keys) recognizing me as a Gold member and indicated that I was entitled to free breakfast each day of my stay.
The new receptionist that checked me in was going to give me the back view; I requested the front view and a manager who recognized my Gold Status came over and made the change for me. I received an executive suite on the front.
