Los Angeles / Renaissance Los Angeles Airport / CLOSED Weekends & Holidays; Cont'l brekkie in restaurant

$6 upcharge for full breakfast (omelette station, sausage, bacon), stayed May 2-4 as Gold

Texas Booster

I had no charge to order anything off the menu. The coupons mention a continental breakfast for two, but I was able to order anything off the menu or to use the buffet. OJ, tea and milk all at no charge.

$10 coupon for G/P/PP cannot be used for tips.

The bar area is small. Each G/P/PP may order two appetizers from he regular menu at no cost. The 24 Hr drink room is nice.

Construction across the street for at least the next year. Was given a room away from construction without being asked.

I am a LT Plat.

Stayed Thursday May 8 - Saturday May 10

Offered $10.00 credit or 500 points. Took points.

Lounge is closed on weekends. Offered full breakfast for Saturday or 750 points. Took points again, all of which posted within 72 hours of checkout.

Not certain that the lounge can be accessed with room card when it is closed.

Paid for stay with two one night Marriott Visa certificates, as this hotel is listed as a Category 3, which in my opinion makes it a great property for award redemptions or use of coupons. Every aspect of my stay was positive.

Hi SkiAdcock– this thread obviously took you so much time to build (and maintain with all new comments/updates), where does everyone on this site find the time !

Is there any way to create another thread, or add to this one, with details about the lounges? I always find myself emailing each hotel for details but it would be great to just be able to check back here. I’ll share for some people to help with the hotels I’ve been to this year:

Lisbon MC – Average size lounge on 17th floor with outdoor terrace and reception/concierge staff available during all opening hours. Breakfast is small but platinum can also eat in main buffet restaurant. Dinner is small but well created with small selection of alcohol, local wine and beer (but they’ll get you Heineken if you ask

Prague MC – Massive two (or maybe three) story lounge but not staffed except during food hours. Breakfast selection is dreadfully small (and pretty dreadful). Dinner selection is very small (and dreadful) as well but with local beer, wine and premium alcohol.

Vienna Ren Imperial Riding – Massive lounge on ground floor of exec wing. Staff available during all opening hours. Breakfast selection is very large and they take requests for things not at their large buffet. Dinner selection is equally large with wine but no premium alcohol. Heineken is available throughout the day along with colas and water (only lounge I know where beer is free the whole day).

Amsterdam MC – Massive ground floor lounge with private outdoor terrace. No staff on hand except for food service. Breakfast is massive, almost larger than their regular buffet in the main restaurant, and they take special requests. Dinner is equally massive with great selection of premium alcohol, beer and wine.

JW Bucharest – Average size lounge staffed only during meal hours. Breakfast is small but both warm and cold, good selection. Dinner is a full meal (chicken, roast potatoes and asparagus spears on my visit) with premium alcohol, imported beer and wine.

JW Bangkok – Massive lounge with large outdoor terrace on the 16th floor. Two reception/concierge staff on duty from opening to closing outside and several wait staff on duty inside including a chef for their large open air kitchen during breakfast and dinner. As you can imagine, with an open air kitchen and private chef – inside the lounge itself, breakfast and dinner are complete meals and special requests are accepted as well. Four hours of happy hour include horrible wine but premium alcohol and imported beer. Also sweets, snacks, sandwiches and more are served between breakfast and dinner so you never need to leave the hotel or eat anywhere else

JW Jakarta – Massive lounge with reception staff available all day. Large breakfast selection and large dinner selection with premium alcohol and imported beer and wine.

In the next three months I'll be at the MC Berlin, MC Cologne and Paris MC Rive Gauche so if anyone knows full details about their services I'd appreciate knowing.

James, welcome to Flyertalk! And thanks for putting together that list. The best place to find the info you're asking about (& have provided) is in the individual property threads or family-property threads in the Marriott forum. Most people do a search (upper right corner of the Marriott forum) for properties they're staying at to get more details re: properties & lounges. The purpose of this thread (and post #1) is to provide a 'quick snapshot' of the exec lounge situation on the weekend.

Cheers.

JamesEaston

Thanks Sharon. Will try the search function, if nothing relevant will revert to my old way of emailing the hotels for details

Zurich / Renaissance / Didn't ask about report of hotel closing, so assume it is accurate. Regarding the club closure, I was given a certificate for a drink in the bar as well as a gift of sausage, cheese and crackers in the room on arrival. This is in addition to the platinum arrival gift. Can't comment on the breakfast situation as I was off to the airport in the morning and skipped breakfast. 5/12/14

* Zurich / Marriott / OPEN; key accessible 24/7 as well; one computer with printer in lounge. 5/7/14

We stayed at the Marriott Suites OHare (Rosemont) last weekend for a convention. I was offered 750 points or breakfast for my Friday night stay. I am gold.

Dallas Renaissance

Stay: 5/16-5/18/14

Lounge: CLOSED

Given coupons for continental breakfast in hotel which was for the "cold" side of the buffet. There was a charge of $5 to upgrade to the warm side of the buffet. I was successful on Sunday morning of getting them to let me order something off the menu with the $5 upgrade (cinnamon apple brioche French toast).

This has changed - for the better!

Property: Seattle Renaissance Downtown
Arrived: Friday, May 24, 2014
Lounge: Closed
Breakfast coupons offered, says "continental" on them but both the front desk and wait staff in the restaurant said that it allowed full breakfast (buffet & omelet bar). "We changed because we had too many complaints..."
Coupon says "gratuity included" but I was happy to add.

I was also not charged, 3 days in a row (Memorial Day weekend 2014). The restaurant was very unorganized. Customers were getting mad because two thirds of the tables were not being used but cluttered with dishes. Hostess was taking some names on a list but not everyone and customers became vocal when some tried to move ahead of others. Manager came out on Saturday and told his staff to call him if this ever happens again and he started bussing tables. But on Sunday, when I did not see him, it was worse. They only offered me 175 points per day for not taking the vouchers (each voucher is good for 2 people), though. Lounge is also closed on holidays (for Memorial Day weekend from noon Friday to 5 PM Monday).
