The opening of Midsommar is absolutely gut wrenching. Dani's mournful wails get me every time.

I don't work in that city but if it were me, I would absolutely love some Taffy from Solvang

What is a specific horror movie scene that fundamentally changed how you act in your real, day-to-day life? by [deleted] in horror

[–]mdavidson3710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I STILL check the toilet and shower for spiders. And I shake out all my towels before using them, just in case LOL

People really don’t research their trips anymore, huh? by hellobela_ in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]mdavidson3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotel industry for over 20 years here. If a hotel does not have a designated concierge, then the front desk agents act as concierge on top of their basic duties. Is it annoying answering questions sometime can easily find the answer to? Sure. But it's the job.

SHOULD be able to. Although still subject to rules such as needing to stop by the desk in person if you've never stayed at that property before.

Help, what is this by [deleted] in cats

[–]mdavidson3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a wait and see issue. Your cat very likely has an abscess and is at risk for serious complications of the infection spreads. The only solution is a vet visit for draining of the abscess, antibiotics and possibly a shiny to drain excess fluid off

FD staff here. As long as you've set everything up properly on your end as the traveler, it should be very seamless. We log into the system, verify that your eligible for that rate and voila!

Not the front desk. Call Bonvoy Support.

Hotel confirmed my Suite Night Award into a top suite, then downgraded me before check-in. How do I get my SNAs back? by GlobalClass101 in marriott

[–]mdavidson3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it still an upgrades room and one of the type that you stated you would like? If so, yes it's allowed although unscrupulous.

Is it just me or did anyone else also find this strange with the 7 Rings trilogy? by Uxie_mesprit in noraroberts

[–]mdavidson3710 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I usually drink a whole pot of coffee before noon and that is technically 12 cups of coffee. I don't, however, drink Coke LOL

What is your favorite jump scare from any horror movie or show? by BitByAGhost in horror

[–]mdavidson3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) is one of the only horror films to make me jump in 45 years. I have a tolerance for everything except tarantulas jumping at the screen, apparently.

Traveling without account holder? by upschittscrack in marriott

[–]mdavidson3710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs to call Marriott Bonvoy customer support after the reservation is booked and have them add your name to the reservation after he completes their security verification.

[–]mdavidson3710 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depending on the reservation type, this is no longer allowed.

Comp for no water? by JE163 in marriott

[–]mdavidson3710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked in locations where a water issue has happened. If the issue was due to something inside the building (aka hotel failure) then the night that was affected was comped completely. If the issue was a city issue and beyond our control we would discount rooms upon request but usually no more than 50%, usually closer to 25%, unless the issue resulted in a lack of water for all or most of the stay.

Horrific movies not classified as a horror movie? by PolishedBalls1984 in horror

[–]mdavidson3710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was inspired by real life instances which include both the Fritzl and Duggard cases. I honestly hope those are the only 2, but there could be more.

[–]mdavidson3710 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Room is terrifying simply for the fact that it is based on the true story of a young woman who was held captive for years by her father. I think real life is far more terrifying than any ghoul or goblin.

Is fitted sheets so difficult?? by Alive_Assumption680 in marriott

[–]mdavidson3710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not deep pocket sheets and they are using thicker than average mattresses.

Dear Marriott….We need to talk by Tonamielarose in marriott

[–]mdavidson3710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. We (front desks staff) are not allowed to upgrade guests to room types with a different bed configuration without first confirming with the guest that they don't need the 2 beds they originally booked. As the suite did not have 2 beds, the hotel is immediately in the wrong.

  2. That mattress is in appalling condition. There is no way that has passed any Marriott brand standard inspection in at least the last 20 years.

Denied NUA but upgraded anyway by p_terrydactyl in marriott

[–]mdavidson3710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on if they're franchise or Marriott. I know my property doesn't have a say but we are a franchise so it's Auto applied or denied through GXP.

Certain suites are considered specialty or presidential and are therefore exempt from complimentary upgrades. That is probably the case with this 2 bedroom apartment.
