M Club - Lounge closed for food service after breakfast Fri, continental only in restaurant.
I happened to have a rate that included breakfast but spoke to the restaurant hostess about the Platinum breakfast benefit. I was told that the voucher was for the continental buffet but typically they have no problem if you get hot items (eggs/pancakes)
I was there on a weekend so didn't see any real food offerings in the lounge. The lounge is key accessible and has jars of snacks (wasabi peanuts, yogurt covered raisins, fake m&ms). There is a coffee machine as well as cans of soda or juice. Water is from a dispenser so there are no bottles that can be taken away. I was pleasantly surprised to see yogurt containers available.

We stayed at the Hartford-Windsor Airport Marriott in Connecticut recently on a Saturday night (over Labor Day weekend) and the M Lounge was NOT open 24/7 for drinks and snacks over the weekend. We were very disappointed, having thought from the sticky here that it would be accessible even if breakfast was not served in the lounge/MClub. Also the service in the restaurant for breakfast on Sunday morning was not up to par (took forever for someone to seat us) and the buffet rather limited. Maybe the M Club was closed due to the holiday weekend and/or the fact that there was a large group staying at the hotel, but we will go to other Hartford properties in the future.
Here's a summary:
1) Windsor/CT/USA Hartford-Windsor Airport Marriott
2) Closed on weekends
*Lounge closed, full breakfast in restaurant (free full buffet)
3) if the lounge is closed, NOT room key accessible on the weekends for sodas/water;
4) valid Labor Day Weekend Aug-Sept 2019

Marriott Medellin
Hi fellow flyertalkers,
Marriott Medellin on 9/12/2019, and here are some data points to add:
Marriott Medellin on 9/12/2019, and here are some data points to add:
- Platinum gets free breakfast at the lounge.
- If platinum books the rate with free breakfast (very likely as it's part of the base rate), the Platinum welcome gift is a choice of a 1 food and 1 drink offering (select from 3 options each), or 1,000 points.
- Executive Club is opened on weekdays and weekend all day until midnight with limited snacks and drinks (2-drink limit per day). An excellent food service takes place from 5:30pm - 7:30pm.

Dallas Sheraton / OPEN; renovated lounge with full breakfast; 8/19 update
The Dallas Sheraton is a serviceable but unremarkable property in downtown Dallas, which is the older, more run down business area. Uptown is sexier and more bustling with hip restaurants and all that. But the location is convenient to many downtown offices, and right by the DART, which you can take all the way to the airport for a few dollars (nearly an hour ride).
The lounge however, is very nice and modern, with a full hot breakfast and great service. There are also evening hors d'oeuvres, and nighttime snacks and a coffee machine. The room is large and airy with several sections, widescreen TVs, some games, and old legal chronicles as props.

These were my experiences in September 2019:
* Madrid / The Westin Palace / No Lounge; Full breakfast buffet in restaurant as a welcome gift option
* Seville / Hotel Alfonso XIII, Luxury Collection / No Lounge; Full breakfast buffet in restaurant as a welcome gift option
* Granada / Palacio De Santa Paula, Autograph Collection / No Lounge; Extensive breakfast buffet in restaurant as lounge alternative; cooked-to-order egg dishes available at extra cost (5 to 7 EUR)
Note that "Cont'l brekkie," as currently listed, might send the wrong message, especially to Americans. This is an excellent European breakfast buffet. We felt no need to order egg dishes.
