Stayed at Fremont Marriott late last year for two midweek nights. Regular lounge hours during the week, I was also given coupons for the full buffet in the restaurant which was actually quite decent. On my first night, the concierge lounge was also their only bar/restaurant as the restaurant was under renovation.
I also stayed at the Fishermans Wharf Marriott last week. No lounge, was given buffet coupons per night and two drink coupons (for the total stay, not per night 👎🏻
. Restaurant also under renovation, so a tiny conference room was used for breakfast with a minimal spread. Chrck-in agent wouldn‘t extend Platinum Premier privileges for two rooms, so had to check in the second room with a different Platinum membership... No upgrade whatsoever, it‘s a tourist trap...

Stupid question here, but at Courtyards, am I supposed to remind them that they're supposed to apply the $10 F&B credit to my folio?
Past two stays I've purchased coffees there and never saw a credit on my account.

Hi, I saw from the sticky that the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is listed as having a lounge. It does NOT have a lounge (I was there 12/2018). The Sheraton Waikiki is the one that has a lounge (was there 09/2018). Sheraton Waikiki's lounge is pretty terrific, and plats can also elect to take a coupon that gets you free breakfast buffet for 2 instead of getting points. (The Waikiki lounge has a great breakfast spread, but the breakfast buffet does have a lot more food and variety.)

No lounge at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. I've never been to the Royal Hawaiian, but apparently they do have an underwhelming lounge that was opened in the last few years. At first, they were only admitting guests staying in the Tower rooms, but I think that may have changed. Or it may have changed back to no Plats since it is a Luxury Collection.

Stayed at Marriott Biscayne Bay in Miami. As a Lifetime Platinum Primier I was entitled to the continental breakfast in the restaurant. If I wanted the full breakfast there was a $5.00 additional charge. This is a change from the last time I stayed at this hotel when I was entitled to a full breakfast.
The lounge doesn’t serve breakfast. Only coffee and juice in the morning.

Full service resort, no lounge. Platinum breakfast offering is "complimentary continental breakfast for 2" which includes: coffee, juice, milk, infused water, yogurt, toast, bagels, croissants, pastries, cereal, assorted fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, composed salads, charcuterie meats, cheeses, heirloom tomatoes, smoked salmon, grits. $21.00 value per person.
For an additional $7.00 per person, possible to upgrade to full breakfast buffet, includes continental offerings plus: omelet station (including eggs cooked to order), made-to-order pancakes, made-to-order french toast, waffles, sausage, bacon, steak, breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs (which were very runny), veggie quiche, biscuits & gravy.
My morning diet soft drink was not charged separately (I don't do coffee). Gratuity and tax are included on the complimentary continental breakfast. Two checks are presented (and need to be signed for) if the full buffet upgrade is chosen --- a zero total cost continental and the $7.00 plus gratuity plus tax upgrade cost ($8.80 total).
Buffet location is the Latitude & Longitude restaurant just off the main lobby. If the breakfast is chosen at check-in, the platinum guest's name is on a list at the restaurant and a laminated card is carried to the table to alert the server that the guest is platinum. Servers know how to handle the situation. No opportunity to modify the breakfast offer (I asked if it was possible to obtain a $21 per day restaurant credit to order off the breakfast menu instead and "no dice").
