A related question: I booked two rewards rooms at the Marriott Liverpool. My husband and I occupied one and the four children the other (ages from 8 - 21). The rooms listed maximum occupancy four.

The concierge lounge was closed on Saturday morning, so they said we could get a discount rate for breakfast in the restaurant. When we went down to breakfast (a buffet), we were first told that only one room got free breakfast based on my status. Then they agreed that both rooms would, but after we were seated and took a plate of food at the buffet, the hostess came back and said only four of us could get the discount.

My youngest was not eating (he brought a Pop Tart with him) and we had informed them of that before being seated. I was pretty annoyed at being told I would pay full price (which was quite expensive for what little I would eat) after getting a plate, so since I hadn't taken a bite, I pushed it back and informed her that I wouldn't be eating after all.

In the end, she backed off and we all got the discount, but was I right to be upset? I don't usually stay in Marriotts with the family, so I have no experience with this.

I also didn't get reward points for the breakfasts, which were charged to my room and paid for with my Marriott Rewards VISA. I guess I need to work on that.
