At this Marriott property, no coffee, juice or water is included in the elite breakfast

The latest reminder of how bad things are at Marriott these days is the Grand Galvez, Autograph Collection in Galveston, Texas.

This is a franchised hotel owned and operated by Seawall Hospitality LLC, which also owns and operates The Saint Key West, Autograph Collection in Key West, Florida. This owner previously owned The Saint Hotel, Autograph Collection in New Orleans, Louisiana.

At Grand Galvez, Bonvoy platinum and higher elites do not get free coffee, juice or water with breakfast. Ironically, they provide free coffee in the lobby just outside the restaurant during breakfast service. They limit your breakfast options to muffins and pastries (the "continental breakfast"), pancakes, and an "all-American" that includes eggs. If you try ordering the avocado toast, which doesn't include eggs, they'll charge you $20.

When I complained they comped my coffee for the duration of my stay and also allowed me to order the avocado toast. But other elites in the restaurant at the same time as me were still being cheated.
