If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

Didnt think I need to put it on at 8:00 pm....
Why not? This could happen at any 5* hotel with turndown service.
I don't see anything you wrote about as a service issue.

Literally can happen in any 5 star hotel. Not something I would complain about unless I had DnD on.

I don’t know how the service currently is at the Setai but when I was there was only a couple months old so the excuse was that they were new. But at that time in Waldorf service was way better,  not even close. I would say the Hotels themselves are on a similar lever, setai may even be nicer

Waldorf is definitely nicer and kept much better. Waldorf is a rich and regal hotel as opposed to the setai which is very simple. Waldorf was much cleaner as well. The setai has a nice view and a private pool but that’s all.

Is free breakfast for gold members only for award nights?

Will I be able to get the benefit for the duration of my 6 night stay if only nights 1, 2, and 6 are booked using HH points?

No paid nights don't need status for free breakfast
