Thanks for advice.
Fortunately I earned MR LTP all on my dime but using other criteria then whether the lounge has an omlette station.

My next CY stay is in the United States. I'm well aware that no CYs in the United States have free breakfast.
I'm wondering whether or not you're either purposefully ignoring what I wrote pointing on the lack of an omelette station or if you think I'm an over-entitled Platinum member pointing out I deserve free breakfast at any CY.
My only point in my OP is if one wants eggs done another way other than scrambled and staying in either CY in Seoul (not any CY in Asia or the United States, but in Seoul), CY Seoul Times Square might be the preferred alternative. End of story

I’m at the property now for a 7 night stay using a cert as a platinum member.
Breakfast only in the exec lounge, the main reataurant is not included.
The lounge is nice but it does get quite crowded.
Location is excellent for buses and a short walk to train stations.
Received a room on the top floor but it seems pretty standard. Modern but small.

Just finished a 6 night stay in the Courtyard.
Received a room on a high floor, was described as Premier View on the check in document. We had a great view of the gate, think room was standard otherwise. We'd grabbed a really good prepay rate about a week out.
Lounge was good. Breakfast was great and loved the egg station, attendant made a fantastic omlette! We were given vouchers for the restaurant breakfast on our first day as it was a holiday and the offering was great. Under 14s are not permitted during evening food service as 'lots of business men'. I have a one year old and it's a pain not being able to grab a snack or a drink together for the entire evening service but I'm sure others are enjoy the policy. It's a good way to manage capacity as the lounge was busy.
There's a coin operated laundry in the basement which is well maintained. We're on a three month trip so it was welcome for us!
Overall, it was a great stay. We're trying out the Times Square courtyard next week on our way out of South Korea so will be interesting to compare.

Please know that the area around times square is a bum area full of trash, old buildings etc. At least what we saw when we walked from the metro station to the mall where the hotel is located in. The mall is nice though. But the area behind is not so nice. This was last year in August.

Gold no longer entitled to Lounge and breakfast?
I read here Gold members were allowed in lounge and the associated light breakfast before.
I enquired at the email address given in previous post and got the reply only platinum and above are allowed.Just like in NA
Any recent experience?

You are probably looking at older posts (pre-integration) when Marriott Gold got lounge access (the old MR Gold required 50 nights so is equivalent to Bonvoy Platinum).

As common in Seoul, hotel suites sell out on weekends quite often. If you ask nicely and indicate willingness to move rooms if the suite isn't available for all 7 nights, you should get lucky.

We booked the basic King room (26 sqm), and hoping to secure the suite or at least a larger King room (33 sqm, not a suite) with platinum status.
Will they let our 7-yo join without extra charge? We all sleep in the same King bed when traveling.
