Once it's confirmed open I'll add it to the list. Same with other properties.

Cheers.

The disclaimer of opening in Aug from Marriott.com is now gone and the prop is now selling rooms from 06 Aug (previously 17 Aug) so I guess it will open on the 6th..............

Twickenham

Note that this info is correct as of 07/15/12; also add lounge is key accessible.

Regarding the breakfast coupons, while they said 'healthy start breakfast', I was specifically told, by both the FDC and the waitress at the restaurant, that they were good for the buffet (she also asked how many we were in the room when she gave them to me, so not just for gold/plat member, but all room occupants).

Renaissance Seattle provides coupon for 25% off weekend Breakfast Buffet for two, they no longer provide free breakfast coupons on weekends, lounge available on weekends for waters, sodas and computer access only.

List updated w/ FT reports.

Also, I ended up looking at property websites & calling properties/talked w/ the front desk in the following states...

* Missouri
* Mississippi
* Nebraska
* New Mexico
* Minnesota
* Rhode Island

...to find out if their lounges were open/closed on the weekends & if closed, if they provided brekkie coupons.

I did not ask them about key accessible or i-net terminals, as I thought that might get too confusing for the FDC & I was already calling a lot of properties/taking up quite a bit of my time.

If there was a recent report by an FTer I didn't call the property, but if there wasn't I did.

I also added properties that weren't listed in the sticky, but were listed on the Marriott website.

States were chosen by something in a property thread that led me to check one property & then I thought what the heck, check the others; no rhyme or reason other than that.

I would say one thing - if there's not a recent update on the sticky, when in doubt, call the property in advance. Don't just go by lounge is closed. I was pleasantly surprised by how many properties, even though the lounges were closed, offered Gold/Plats coupons. Not all of course, but more than I thought when I first started checking this aft.

I'm definitely not going to call every single full-service property/check their website in the U.S. as that will take massive amounts of time.

So I'm still depending on you, my fellow FTers, to provide updates!

Cheers.

Reconfirming
* Shanghai / JW Marriott, Tomorrow Square / OPEN; free wifi & i-net terminals; Plats get breakfast in lounge or restaurant; 10/11 update

as of 8/12... also the lounge has a nice afternoon tea service with mini-sandwiches. If you time things right, you can take all three meals here

"Munich / Marriott / "Executive Lounge": the lobby-bar doubles as such with a seperate food- and drink area for Gold- and Platinum Elites only. Limited hours 6pm to 8pm snacks, 6pm to 10pm drinks, no breakfast in "lounge". Full breakfast in restaurant daily for Gold/Plat; free usage of biz center; 8/10/11 update"

This is still the case as of 8/5/2012. Gold/Plat receive a printed piece of paper with name/room/check-out date to get the afternoon foods. It does say 1 drink but nobody counted or said anything (obviously not overdoing would be the key). Snacks included appetizer options and desert options as well as hot dish of some sort (meat + side dish). Breakfast you get the full (26 EUR option) access for all in your room which is quite a deal since breakfast option is awesome. Plus they have great kids corner where kids can play and have bibs for babies too! (I'll write a report when I recover from the trip.)

Plus, I discovered when looking to update the Cincinnati property that libuser mentioned it wasn't listed under my regular search, but it popped up when I looked specifically at Cincy.

I couldn't figure out why the discrepency, but when I looked at what I was searching for when I've been doing the telephone updates I did a search on JW, Autograph Collection, Marriott & Rens. But it turns out there's a conference center category as well & when I clicked on that, it brought up the property libuser mentioned. Since that propery also has Marriott in the name I'm not sure why it didn't come up the first time, but in future I'll add conference centers to the search parameters.

Cheers.

I should note something here, and I'll update post # 1 to reflect it. When I update properties, I list them by the city order which is the way Marriott lists the properties on the website. So a property might have a major city in its name but is actually located in one of the suburbs of that city, so it will get listed by the suburb name. So, for example, Cleveland Marriott East is located in Williamsburg Heights so it will get listed away from the other Cleveland properties that are in Cleveland proper. I figured it was just easier to follow Marriott's listings.

Cheers.

"Sweden

* Malmo / Renaissance / Full breakfast everyday (no coupon required but double-check your bill at check-out); 1 drink&snack chit/night (show coupon each night in bar)"

Stayed here last week and they are no longer giving out the drink/snack chits. Still got breakfast (very nice one) every day and the turn down service provided water and fruit each night.

Sharon, I can confirm that the REN Orlando Sea World is still offering 500 points as comp for no lounge as of this month.
