Update - August 2014 - Burlingame / San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront - now an "M Lounge" on the ground floor - open 24-hours for soft drinks & snacks. Booze in the lounge about a dollar cheaper than at the main bar. New lounge feels like an airport lounge with little character.

Berlin Marriott
Confirming that Berlin Marriott lounge is open 7 days/wk as of Aug 22
Welcome letter stated free wifi in lounge but I had never saw a separate lounge network as is often the practice. iirc,the letter also mentioned free use of lounge tablets but I never saw àny nor asked about them.
Breakfast is rather typical, scrambled eggs, sausage/ bacon & potatoes. Assortment of cereals, fruits & cheeses.
Midday is assorted pastries
Evening is pretty substantial. Stayed this past Friday night and saw spinach soup, chicken breast, vegetarian pasta, rice, assorted desserts and more.
Late evening is wine & cheese.
Fwiw, there is a self serve beer tap ánd multi function cappuccino machine.
Finally, the welcome letter made no distinction between Gold & Plats and stated that breakfast if had in the restaurant would be an up charge (can't recall exact amount but if was over 25 euro)

Birmingham AL Marriott
Coupons for Sat/Sun "continental breakfast" given to Golds/Plats at the Birmingham, AL Marriott, but restaurant honors them for full breakfast buffet in practice (and they say they have for some time).

They gave all Golds & Plats a little chit at check-in, which you had to show to the lounge attendant to gain entry during breakast time. BTW, one of the best lounge breakfasts I have ever seen in the US. I hated the new look lounge though, very clinical.

Boston Marriott Cambridge
free in room wifi
M-F 6:30-9:30am; SUN-THU 5:30-9:30pm
Breakfast was cold cereals, hot oatmeal, make your own Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage, milk, yogurt, fresh cut fruits (melons, strawberries, pineapple), and the usual hot morning beverage suspects
In the evenings, a couple of hot dishes until they run out around 7:30'ish; desserts show up at 7:30pm (cookies plus a baked good, such as red velvet cake, key lime pie, etc)
The hot dishes ranged from a vegetarian ravioli and vegetable spring rolls to a chicken and rice dish and pasta with meatballs.
There is an honor bar.
and on Saturdays and Sundays, breakfast is taken in the Champions sports bar. Although it should be for the continental breakfast buffet, the staff invited us to have foods from the entire buffet, including the omelet station. The food was plentiful, fresh and delicious.
Not sure if this is a weekly event, but we were invited to a wine/cheese reception on the 26th floor on Wednesday.
All told, the staff were appreciative of their elites.

Confirming:
* Falls Church / Fairview Park Marriott / CLOSED; Full buffet brekkie in restaurant; 08/24/13 update
Spent the night there last night to reach my MegaBonus threshold. The buffet is quite nice and definitely a full buffet. Includes beverages, hot dishes, a very large fruit assortment, and an omelet bar. I skipped the omelets, but everything else was very fresh and tasty.
Your name is placed on a list for the restaurant host/ess. No worries about receiving the benefit.
