libuser

1) City/State/Country/Property Name
2) Lounge is Open or Closed on weekends;
3) if breakfast coupons are given if it's closed;
4) if the lounge is closed, if it's still room key accessible on the weekends for sodas/water;
5) if the exec lounge offers free i-net & whether it's terminals or wireless
6) date you know the info was valid (ie, 04/10)

1. JW Marqee Miami
2. Open - full breakfast and hours or devours. Option to select either brekkie at the 45 restaurant downstairs or in the lounge on the weekend(gold). Brekkie in restaurant consisted of manned omelet station, amazing berry station(straw,blue,rasp,and a few others), nut station(macadamia, peanuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, chestnuts(warm and cold), pine nuts, almonds, cashew, sunflower seed, a a lot of dried fruits), and at least 5 different yogurts, and last but not least organic milk. I would have gladly paid $18($24 - regular, less for Golds, even less for plats) for that even if it was not free.
3. n/a
4. Accessible 24/7 for sodas. When an agent was present all beer was free, but hard liquor was a'la carte
5. yes, 2 terminals I believe with blazing fast internet(think 50Mbit+)
6. 03/28

I am not picking on libuser, because of course I can't tell whether you made a spelling mistake or whether you were being intentionally funny. However, either way, your "hours or devours" made me ROFLMAO!!!

In case it was a spelling mistake, the word (or is it a phrase?), is spelled "hor d'oeuvres" (sometimes seen without apostrophe).

Actually, it's "hors d'oeuvres", but you were much closer!

Note that singular and plural are the same.

Correction for list, the Baltimore Marriott Hunt Valley Inn is in Hunt Valley, MD 21031, or Towson if you prefer, but it is far outside of Baltimore City.

The reason I am offering this correction is because I made a reservation for this hotel last night, and the Plat line rez agent could not find the hotel by searching Baltimore (if she would have kept looking, it would show up on page 3 of a "Baltimore" search at #22), but was able to find it when searching "Towson," where it comes up on page 1 at #3.

OOPS! I had Googled it to double check, and the first entry came up without the first S, so I copied and pasted. When I just went back to check again, I noticed that most of the other entries, including Merriam-Webster, have it as "hors" instead of "hor," so I stand corrected.

(However, there seems to be much discussion over whether the second S should always be there or not, but I will bow to Bruce's advice on this also. It seems to me that this is a word somewhat like Channukah, or is it Hanukkah, or maybe Chanukah? And I'm Jewish! HA!)

Note - I will sort out the Baltimore/Towson thing when I update the list because I list it by towns they're actually located.

People can take spelling off to another thread, as it has nothing to do w/ this thread, which is exec lounge open/closed on the weekend & not spelling.

Reminder: THIS thread is about lounges open/closed on weekends. So if you've got input on properties you've stayed at, your fellow FTers would appreciate you posting an update.

If you have any other topics or discussions, then take it to the main Marriott forum.

Cheers.

waterbug111

1) London/UK/St Pancras Renaissance
2) Lounge is Open on weekends
3) Didn't seem to offer free wi-fi: when I first checked in b/f my room was ready and I was in the lounge, the only iban options were at cost. Once I had a room and confirmed that GMs received wi-fi at no cost, the "complimentary" option appeared - regardless of being in the room or the lounge. The only computer in the lounge was at the staff desk and not guest accessible. See note #1.
4) House wine and beer is included; champaign and non-house wine for cost, although I was not charged for the champaign I had. See note #1.
5) Report as of 4/03

NOTE #1: The hotel still in the "soft opening" stage and is still working out the kinks, so wi-fi and wine charges might change in May after the Grand Opening.

NOTE #2: I'll add a full trip report in the next week or so - beautiful property.

1) Hunt Valley/Towson (Baltimore SUBURBS)/Maryland/Marriott Hunt Valley Inn
2) Lounge is CLOSED on weekends (generous with coupons, I was given extra for guests)
3) I did not see the computers in the lounge, but from memory, I believe they have two.
4) I was not able to visit the lounge for cocktail hour, but from memory, I believe that beer and wine is available from an honor bar. I do not think that the lounge is available after hours for water/sodas.
5) Report as of 4/04/2011

Hello everybody,

not sure if it was covered already, but there seems to be a change at the JW Marriott, as experienced this weekend.

1) JW Marriott Washington DC
2) Lounge is open on Weekends. I found it relatively small and crammed. Needless to say, the lounge was very full.
3) 2 computers in the lounge
4) The Bar is an honor bar, the food on the weekend was not that great. Not better than the average US Marriott
5) Report as of 4/04/2011

Cheers,
starlicious

Thanks for the report! Will update the thread. This used to be a property that was open before, then closed. So good to hear it's open.

BTW everyone (directed not towards anyone in general, just overall) - I'm not posting updates on booze being available & free or not. That's too variable & isn't in the same category of free brekkie coupons if the lounge isn't open, which I think is more important to FTers.

Cheers.

Sharon,

Thanks for keeping this list so up to date.

Under Colorado, the Ren Flatirons is in Broomfield, not Bloomfield. Might not work if you are doing a search.

Thanks
