Leipzig, Germany / Marriott
Stayed in Leipzig this past weekend, lounge is open as usual.
We were advised at check-in that there no longer is an option of taking breakfast in the restaurant or in the lounge. Unless you pay for breakfast in the restaurant you need to go to the lounge.

Hopefully somebody can confirm this information in the future, and it wasn't just a one time deal.
Renaissance Phuket Island & JW Marriott Khao Lak
Information is the same for both, but...
I was given free breakfast for my 9 year old child at both locations because of the Platinum level. Policy? Not sure, but I figured that I should mention it, even if it's only an $8 value or so.

I was checking the Vancouver Marriott lounge status, since I just found out I have a meeting in that area. I noted that the listing still shows "Vancouver / Renaissance Harbourside / CLOSED Weekends & Statuary Holidays; Cont'l brekkie; $5 upcharge; 2 i-net terminal; 10/28/14 update."
Not sure when it occurred - some time last year - but this is no longer a Marriott property.
