Marriott's lounge breakfast, while no great shakes at some marriotts (and not valid at resorts until after the merger), is much better than coffee and a donut. Fresh fruit and yogurt and coffee is what I am satisfied with, and can get that at Marriott, Hyatt and Starwood (for the most part, some also due the crummy $credit at a grab n go).

I just checked out of Boca Beach Club. I got $30.00 credit per day. Breakfast ran around $31.00 with tip so I paid approx $1 each day for breakfast. I am gold.
Breakfast was good....fruit, salmon, gluten free bread table and gluten free waffles (I am celiac.)

Anyone have an idea of what breakfast for Diamonds is at the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta? Is it the standard $15 credit PP?

My wife and I recently stayed at the Boca Beach Club Waldorf Astoria in Florida. They gave us each a $15 credit towards breakfast as Diamond members. The continental breakfast cost $25. Full buffet was $35. Nice stay, but at the end of our stay, I brought up the lack of the advertised breakfast benefit up with management. They apologised and said they would look into this and compensated me for the shortfall. Satisfactory outcome.

Don't know the answer to your question with regard to the Atlanta property, but the Honors rules clearly state that Diamond members are entitled to a complimentary continental breakfast at Waldorf Astoria hotels. As well as a space available upgrade and 1000 bonus points per stay, the 3rd benefit listed in the actual rules states: "A daily continental breakfast in the hotel's designated restaurant for you and up to one guest registered to the same room each day of your stay."

Yes, but because the WA Atlanta is new, it wasn't on that old chart, and the chart has been removed from online. Im going to call, will update you all. Side note, the Boulders resort (former WA if im not mistaken) has a special exemption in their contract and doesn't provide any breakfast.

That was an old chart and does not appear on the Honors website now as far as I can see. The current T & C's clearly state the benefit of the continental breakfast without any reference to any of the US hotels being exempt.

Can someone enlighten me on what I should expect to receive at the WA Beverly Hills and WA La Quinta?
Both dedicated FT threads seem to suggest that I will receive a credit ($15pp for La Quinta, $25pp for Beverly Hills) but my WA MyWay benefits both have continental breakfast selected. I'm staying with my wife and two children at both properties in August and I'm guessing that the credit won't stretch too far at either property. I seem to remember spending > $100 just on omlettes in the WA Beverly Hills in 2017.
