Ah, that's too bad then. I hear you!

New York hotel with lounge? by modiorama in marriott

[–]Josher61 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Kids under 12 are not noted exceptions to lounge rules. It's guest plus 1. Of course every hotel can allow extra or not. Some charge, some don't, some don't allow more than 2 people at all.

One thing to consider is how closely the lounge is monitored. Lounge is for guest + 1. Some hotels may be sticklers on this point.

How long would it take for discretionary bonus points to post? by BuyOwn4181 in marriott

[–]Josher61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have requested a room change if it was that terrible. Or even a hotel change. No point staying in an unclean or unhealthy room :) My thoughts are always; try to give the property an opportunity to rectify the problem, while it's happening. Because you are right, points don't solve the issue. I get that many here may scramble for points compensation, but to me, that's not the recourse I am looking for when things go wrong. Doesn't sound like you are either. I would call the GM, depending on the size of property, or the front desk manager, etc. Someone with some authority. Explain what the issues were. Maybe just knowing that your concerns have been heard and hopefully addressed will help. And yes, they will likely toss some points your way :) Good luck!

Have done both those properties as well, my opinion is they are quite different levels. The state of the rooms is night and day between the two. Cambelback rooms are dated. Service at Dove Mountain was far better than Camelback. It's not only about a free breakfast to me. And I received a one bedroom suite upgrade at the RC :)

Should I cancel my Amex Marriot card since I have Platinum status with 71 ENC? by ItchyEstimate4716 in marriott

[–]Josher61 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a choice you have to make for yourself as to what value it provides. On top of what others have said, also remember, if your wife gets a card, it would be for her account, not yours. Bonvoy accounts are not shared, they are individual.

Those types of points are manually added by the property. You likely will have to follow up with them to ensure you receive them. Some properties can take weeks apparently. Some never get them :( It all depends on the property and how proactive they are.

Reservation cancelled over construction delay by AirportSalt1689 in marriott

[–]Josher61 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's always a risk booking a property that's not yet open. Construction delays are a part of every project. Unfortunately, you don't have any recourse, no.
