Niagara Falls/ Marriott Gateway on the Falls / CLOSED Weekends, New Years Day, Easter, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, Boxing Day; COUPONS; key accessible; i-net terminals; 09/16/12 update
Still the same. Open 6:30am to 10am for breakfast M-F, 5:30pm to 7pm for nibbles, although they had dessert out until close. 10pm close M-Thurs.
Open US holidays even though minutes from the border.
2 person limit not enforced in off-season for families, concierge stated it is enforced during high season as the lounge isn't very big. I can understand why.

Cincinnati Airport Marriott
I am currently at the Cincinnati Airport Marriott. The lounge is closed on weekends. We were given vouchers for the restaurant that covered the full breakfast buffet, including made to order omlettes, pancakes, French toast and waffles.

Delray Beach, FL / Marriott / CLOSED; Cont brekkie or 750 points offered when closed; key accessible 24-hours; free WiFi; 11/26/15.
Note that when we were there on the one day it was open, the lounge was SRO so the agent was handing out vouchers for FULL BUFFET in the hotel restaurant for anyone who wanted to go there instead. And it was very good!

Update on London West India Quay
* London / Marriott West India Quay / OPEN; breakfast in restaurant on weekends, but lounge is open for everything else on weekend same as weekdays; free wifi; log-in in room first, then wifi in lounge; no i-net terminal; 10/14 update
Note this hotel defaults to charging you in USD (at least for US cards) at a ~3% premium if you opt for express check out and fail to tick the box at registration. (Unfortunate, as otherwise it's an excellent hotel.)

Gyeonggi / Courtyard Seoul Pangyo / OPEN; 12/13/15 update
2) Lounge is Open on weekends;
Breakfast Buffet M-F @ MoMo Cafe 8th FL across from lobby
Breakfast Buffet S-S @ Lounge 19th FL
*Lounge open all weekend
*Charge for additional guests beyond elite+1 (Didn't ask)
4) The exec lounge offers 1 free i-net terminal w/printer & whether it's terminals & wireless (I was already using room login)
5) valid (12/15)
BTW We were offered to eat B-Fast at the MoMo Cafe Sat am after asking about the bus schedule and the FDC viewing my room number. She said they have the B-Fast upstairs because it gets crowded on the weekend and since it wasn't crowded now she said we should eat at MoMo.
I did take a look upstairs and the B-Fast was hot and cold buffet.
Sorry so long but there isn't much info on this hotel.

Melbourne:The above is still correct. Breakfast only in lounge for platinum members (4 hot dishes + usual continental options). Evening food is quite limited with no desert options at all
Sydney: temp lounge in 2/f, breakfast in lounge only but still quite nice. But can become very crowded and no atmosphere at all esp during evening. Evening food was very nice with good variety of food + soup every day. Food ran out quickly but they replenish them regularly. Lounge with 2 imac + printer
Surfers Paradise: Full breakfast for gold/platinum member. Platinum member can be upgraded to Junior suites at most (with lounge access). Lounge breakfast has limited options (A few hot dishes and eat station) but better atmosphere and view then the main restaurant
Evening food has 8 hot dishes but once they ran out they wont replenish them anymore

I'm at the Los Suenos resort in Costa Rica this week. Breakfast has been free and available for platinum members only. There is a separate Continental buffet set up in the 18th & Green restaurant, where staffers are checking room numbers. Limited hot options are available at a small upcharge, about $2.
