How many threads are we supposed to check?
I would have thought that a Plat Premier has to be comped breakfast given the new joint loyalty program, either via Club Lounge or via Full breakfast in restaurant

Unfortunately , this property is specifically excluded from having to provide breakfast when Lounge is closed . It’s named in the terms and conditions. You get the whopping 1000 points .

I'll be staying here again this month. I used to stay here quite a bit in 2019 and 2020. The website clearly says: Renovation Information Ambassador, Titanium and Platinum Elite Bonvoy members enjoy Executive Lounge access from Sunday evening through Friday breakfast.
My stay is over a weekend so it looks like breakfast in the restaurant on Sunday morning for me (no big deal). But is the lounge actually being renovated or is that just a bad flag in the system and it's supposed to say "heads up". If they're renovating the lounge then wouldn't it be closed to get all the work done at once? I'll report back after my stay.

Stayed here recently for a weekend (Sat & Sun nights). As mentioned upthread, I'm a repeat customer. Checked in around 10pm. No upgrade but they did give me a room on the top floor. The agent told me, "Oh sir, there are so many groups here today and we have Microsoft as well." How is that my problem? Unless they paid for the room (sure, it's possible), or have high tier status as well then you should be taking care of your AMB and Titanium members I would think. I digress.
Lounge is closed on Sunday until the evening. They don't even offer a breakfast option for Sunday so I'm forced to take the 750 points for lack of breakfast. Lounge was open for Monday morning breakfast and is exactly as I remember it from 2019 & 2020.
On Sunday evening I went up to the lounge to grab some water and saw the honor bar. I was the only person in the lounge with two workers talking nonstop in the employee area. Some guy walks into the lounge, pours himself a stiff drink and walks right now without writing it down. The employees just shrugged their shoulders as they saw him do it.
This hotel is in a great location and generally a nice property. Bummed about no upgrade as a repeat customer and AMB but I didn't spend a lot of time in the room this particular weekend.
