If it is mandatory for all non-all suite, all non-resort FS properties to have lounges, then why do so many not have lounges? Just off the top of my head from recent stays, Renaissance Pere Marquette and JW Marriott, both in New Orleans, do not have lounges (both give breakfast coupons instead), and there are others that I do not recall at this moment.
I dont know that I agree with you when you say there are so many, there are a few locations which have a brand waiver however they are not easy to come by and would have to had pretty extenuating circumstances
Just for the record both of the hotels noted above DO have Concierge/Club lounges - perhaps the lounge was closed for some reason during your visit

Please forgive my understandable lapse of information! This would be why I got breakfast coupons for both hotels, during two different stays at the JW Marriott, and for one stay at the Pere Marquette, and would explain why I believed that those hotels did not have CLs.
