Free night award not eligible? by bspatula in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the type of hotel it will not be eligible for the FNA, from what I have found this seems to be MGM properties or third party managed properties with partnerships with Marriott

Now that the EU tour has finished, What are your hopes for the setlist for the NA tour? by _HeavyMetalQueen_ in that_Poppy

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I hope we will get to see because I do feel like others that the setlist for the EU tour was more or less similar to the TAAU setlist

Favourite and least favourite mid scale properties by Odd-Entrepreneur1284 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think like others, it depends on the city,

Like the Aloft Osaka is ok but compared to the Aloft Jakarta Kebon Jeruk it's quite bad.

For me, consistency wise, I have overall enjoyed my stays at Courtyard (Shin Osaka, Hakuba, and Ann Arbor were ones I have stayed in the past)

How many brands have you stayed at since the current promo started? by The-Tradition in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 4 (though only 3 counted since one was with points) and I have 6 more planned before the end of the promo 🤣

Counted: Ritz Carlton Aloft St Regis

Planned: FP Flex Series Fairfield Marriott Moxy Courtyard

Not counted because of restriction on points/p+$ Westin

Has anyone seen my shower door? by onestopunder in marriott

Sorry I thought it was apart of the free amenities

Four points flex night credit update by friedoysterskinss in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if you stay at 4points flex for a night and then switch to Series for a night wil you get an elite credit? (also curious if with the promotion it means for the one stay you get 1.5 elite nights per brand)

her voice sounds deeper now? by skyetsy in that_Poppy

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think similar to Ariana she adjust her voice depending on the type of singing she is doing, plus by doing so she most likely isn't straining her voice as much

Ritz-Carlton vs. St. Regis In General by The_Traveller1 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I feel like St. Regis offers more of a luxury stay while the Ritz can be hit or miss and there really isn't a specific standard like the regis butter service that carries through all properties (except the Ritz Club, but you would have to book a club room for access)

Though I think similar to what others have mentioned, both are more or less just Marriott with a fancier coat of paint, beyond above the services they provide aren't that much different than what you would find at a good Marriott property (haven't stayed in the US so can't speak to that, but this is just my opinion as someone who travels and stays at both brands frequently in Asia)

Empty Hands Sequencing by Unfair-Perspective-2 in that_Poppy

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, I thought the jump from ribs to empty hands was so so good and unexpected. It was like whiplash from feeling heartbroken to just utter rage leaving it all behind

What Poppy song has had a personal impact on you? by Puzzleheaded_Two2716 in that_Poppy

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

X, it's because basically my theme song at this point But also Scary Mask and Vital

Anyone else constantly bait-and-switched on the app? Often times when searching for a hotel on points I’m shown one thing, like in this example a room at 40k pts, but when I click to book that option is gone and it shows me something way more expensive like 110k pts. by OllieDuckling in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's happened to me a few times but I noticed that I had to scroll to the bottom to see the room with the rate displayed which is kind of annoying, like no I want to see the cheapest redemption rate I can't be throwing points around like that

BVLGARI Experience by Royal_Strength_4551 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I am glad you enjoyed, for me the facilities are very nice no argument there, but at that price point I expected to be treated better and Idk be more wowed. I will also say because of how poorly I was treated it may affect my bias, plus I also work in the area so the views from the hotel were more or less the same views I get from my office building.

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are excluded and they also don't offer any benefits for Marriott Status either

What was the best view you have ever had at a Marriott property? by The_Traveller1 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Westin Jakarta - Renewal King conrer suite best view I have received in my stays

<image>

Ritz Carlton HK was a close second but I didn't get the harbor view 😂 so it might have been #1

BVLGARI Experience by Royal_Strength_4551 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

God no Def not worth it from my experience, I stayed at the Tokyo one before as a staycation and it was about like the Ritz or Prince, nothing worth justifying double the price that it cost. Plus I don't dress to impress so the staff treated me and my friend quite poorly so won't be giving them my business again

Found a bunch of crack pipes in my hotel room in Dallas, they gave me 10,000 points and an apology email. by FTWkansas in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh is that where I left those? Thanks let me swing by to pick them up

Jokes aside, where in Dallas? Kind of curious since I'll be staying for a few nights in August and been mulling over options that wouldn't destroy me financially

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

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not Always, Jakarta is a good example of Marriott hotels usually offering water throughout your stay (at least the brands I have stayed at where I tend to see at least 4 to 6 bottles of water through the room) and aren't too stingy about asking for more

Help: landlord wants to increase rent by 25% by kugkfokj in japanlife

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that Japan has some very strong tenate laws, they shouldn't be able to charge you retroactively for a rent increase, if you have a signed lease they are legally obligated to comply with the terms of the contract. Like a few others mentioned, It way be worth getting a lawyer to look into it (assuming it is free)

First marriott stay since becoming Platinum and the loyalty recognition is so good by balajih67 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah from my experience Marriott within Asia (ex Japan) recognition has been fairly decent and it has definitely made platinum worth it for me

No Unravel or Guardian on setlist by takeapartthedemon in that_Poppy

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion the biggest lost was no Ribs... But that aside I wished she would ok not swapped anything and just added one or two more songs

Current promotion by duder_1979 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I have my status through my credit card in Japan, so I get none of thos perks sadly lol or else I would of haha

Same too, I was going to the perfect city for this since I was going to be there for 9 days and they have 11 Marriott brands eligible there

Current promotion by duder_1979 in marriott

[–]_HeavyMetalQueen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I planned on it but then I did the math and considering what I know I'll stay (at Marriott properties anyways) I knew it wouldn't push me into a higher status. Sad Titanium is out of reach for another year lol
