Yeah I was looking at Marriott, before seeing this post. I travel a moderate amount for work and had thought of consolidating it to get Platinum status.

Your post made me realize I could also go to a hotel 3x per year when I have a big writing assignment to finish. Could work very well with having the status and upgrades.

>It pays to research upfront to find a hotel with a lounge, good upgrade options, good free breakfast and seldom fully booked, but its worth it.

Any good resources to research this efficiently? I looked at marriott's site, and it wasn't obvious which hotels had lounges. I think it's by brand, but apparently some are missing/closed/closed on weekends.

Likewise for breakfast, how do you research it?

TBH, I don't do this very well, so I don't have any suggestions. I typically travel to the same places, so I stick to tried and true favorites I've discovered over the years or learned about from coworkers.
