Just returned from a weekend stay at the London Marriott Marble Arch:
- Lounge hours: 6:00am - midnight daily, 5:30-7:30pm for canapes, 5:30-9:30pm for wine and beer.
- The lounge breakfast is a simple continental breakfast (hours: 6-10am M-F, 6-11am weekends).
- Free breakfast for Elites (I'm a Gold) in the restaurant still applies. I'd highly recommend the restaurant over the lounge as it's a full English breakfast buffet. Breakfast hours in the restaurant are 6:30-11:00am on weekdays, 7:00-12:00pm on weekends.

Update from recent stats
Marriott Miami airport. Was given vouchers for breakfast and could either eat continental in lounge or go outside room for full breakfast. Voucher said for two but no one was checking or collecting vouchers
Marriott Miami biscayne bay
Weekend bf was downstairs but the upstairs lounge is key accessible with coffee, pop and water, small bowl of fruit as well as attended to by staff member. (Nice views as well)
Autograph winter haven Miami
Beach: voucher good for 2 continental breakfast but can pay difference for menu items although the difference wound up being more than the value of the voucher as they subtract out the tax and automatic tip before applying ($12.99 for cont breakfast turned into a $9.xx credit towards the menu items).
Curacao renaissance does not have a lounge although the sticky seems to imply it does. They have a concierge during the day but no lounge. Did not stay for breakfast so I can't tell you how they handle that.

London Marriott Hotel Grovesnor Square
Mid-November 5-night stay at London Marriott Hotel Grovesnor Square.
Concierge Lounge info:
CL is located in lower level (either accessible via right-side elevator (of 2 elevators in elevator bank) or from street level via stairs.
At breakfast, there was generally an attendant welcoming guests and also checking their iPad for guests names. While they were checking for who was supposed to be in the lounge, they did not publicize nor adhere to the elite+1 guest policy. We and others in the lounge had three (or more) sometimes, though we did not push that.
At check-in, was given an info sheet that says:
"-Continental breakfast from 6:30am to 10:30am during the week and from 6:30am to 11:00am on the weekend
-Afternoon Tea from 1pm to 4pm
-Hors d'oeuvres from 5:30pm to 7:30pm
-Desserts from 7:30pm to 9:30pm"
Breakfast was excellent (better IMO than any CL breakfast in the US I've had short of JW Essex House). Wall of hot food, juices, cheese, smoked salmon, fruit. Other station had various breads, croissants, mini muffins, etc. All good quality.
Size was decent, though not huge. No view (since in basement) but atmosphere was nice. Staff was very nice.
There is a "business center" with 2 computers and printers next door to the lounge if you need to print things.

Courtyard Mumbai Airport
Lounge is open 24hrs for Tea, Coffee, Biscuits, Juices and Water. Breatfast is served in MoMo Cafe for elite members.
Only evening hors d'oeuvres (from 5.30 PM to 7.30 PM) available in the lounge and that itself is almost like a dinner. Also Alcohol is available from 5.30 PM to 9.30 PM. ^

JW Marriott Shanghai Changfeng Park: Breakfast in restaurant or lounge. There is enough food in the lounge for a decent dinner.
Courtyard Hangzhou Qianjiang: Breakfast in restaurant or lounge. About 3 hot options for the evening spread - not really enough for dinner. No juices during the day/evening. Not sure about breakfast.

Update, Marriott on the Falls, Niagara Falls Ontario: Lounge closed on Friday night to Sunday morning. Told that lounge not accessible when not open (but did not try). Comped full buffet in Milestones Restaurant on Saturday and Sunday morning. Decent restaurant buffet far superior to mediocre lounge fare.
Unlike lovely non-North American lounges above, hors d'ouerves are NOT enough for dinner!! Barely enough for hors d'ouerves, unless you want a bag of chips...

Hi,
two quick updates:
Broxbourne / Chestnut Marriott / No Lounge (per website); brekkie in restaurant; 09/16 update
No lounge indeed, and itīs full breakfast in the restaurant.
The hotel, by the way, is called Marriott Cheshunt (not Chestnut), although located just north in Broxbourne.
Maidstone / Kent / Tudor Park, A Marriott Hotel & Country Club / No Lounge; full breakfast daily in restaurant; 09/16 update
Still the case.
Visited both properties this month.

Marriott Manila
NOTE
o The Exec Lounge moved from East to new West tower at end of Nov2016.
o If one has Lounge access then ones room is in new West Tower !
1. West towers Exec Lounge on 2nd Floor is massive, more than double the size of previous east Tower lounge
2. warning - It is a long walk through building from original East checkin desk to West checkin desk and West Tower lelevators
3. If you have Lounge access you need to ignore the original first hotel entrance and carry on round the road to the next Marriott entrance to avoid the hefty walk to wing with new lounge as with lounge access that is the rooms one is given
4. Second West Tower entrance like first has xray machine at entrance, but is quicker in and out for cars/taxis as less prominent security barrier compared to Main East Tower entrance driveway
5. Rooms in West Tower a bit different layout/size too, unlike East tower where .... Guest City View / Guest Golf View / Exec Room ... were identical in size/layout/furnishings
note
Lounge access on it's own here does not give guest the option of restaurant breakfast instead
