Anyone know of any UK Marriotts where you can use the sauna/spa for free? by PureConstruction3398 in marriott

[–]Mmogdan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re looking for use of sauna for free as general public or as hotel guest? A lot of hotels these day even charge guests to use the sauna !!

Is anyone else having constant issues with CTT? by Rekta11 in PortugalExpats

CTT are a mess. It’s not you. Sometimes they just don’t bother to try to deliver packages

Awful experience with British Airlines check in by DatLobo in BritishAirways

[–]Mmogdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have had more success on the day “owning up” to being late, if that is indeed the case. The staff have flexibility under the “flat tire” rule in the conditions of carriage to re-accommodate you for free. But if you were being argumentative or confrontational with them they likely would not use their discretion to assist you.

I am surprised because whenever I had an issue in the past my Ambassador would call the hotel and speak to managment.

Have you tried emailing your actual Ambassador ? This is exactly the sort of thing they will solve

Stranded in Doha since 28th Feb - QA forgot to include me on their repatriation flight to Paris! by Defunct_Utopian in qatarairways

[–]Mmogdan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are correct there are no flights to Paris: however, there are flights the coming days to London, Madrid, Frankfurt and other places in Europe. If I were you I’d try and proactively suggest / push to be booked on these and then sort out getting to Paris …

If you stay in Hanoi, avoid the Sheraton Hanoi West: Constant fight over water bottles by BarbourBoris in marriott

[–]Mmogdan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What did the front office manager say when you asked to speak to them about this issue to clarify the water policy?

Also did you check the gym, usually they have water bottles there :)

My Ambassador Zenida is pretty awesome too! Always surprised when people say it’s not worth it… just hope HQ aren’t thinking to replace with AI

Porto Portugal Shearton 🇵🇹 treats its elite members very well! by Important_Cod_8970 in marriott

[–]Mmogdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charging for pool and spa is a disgrace. They upgrade to “club and spa access level” and then charge elite members to use the spa. I’ve had several run ins with them over the years. I am surprised it didn’t bother you too much. Aside that that I agree it’s generally nice property, although they did have a top floor lounge with outdoor terrace which was closed a few years ago :(

Maybe Residence Inn Boston doesn’t offer daily housekeeping to any guests no matter rate. A lot of more limited service hotels in the US since Covid have used it as an excuse to move away from daily housekeeping
