The irony of this is that the hotel only follows up and provides a response when an official complaint is lodged with a regulatory body.  When I talk to their front desk staff or Marriott forwards a complaint to them, it goes completely unnoticed.I don't believe anything will change until I experience the change.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Marriott was negligent with respect to providing security measures to customers' cars on their parking lot: insufficient lighting, absence of security cameras, open access to the parking lot with the gate arm up for hours with no man attendance is the invitation to the crime as being proven not just by my case, but by 10 other police reports filed for thefts on or within Marriott vicinity area within past three months. Marriott Claims Service denied my claim on the false assumptions that 'Marriott does what is reasonable to protect guests and their valuables'. My experience shows that there were no protective measures, reasonable or unreasonable,  from Marriott with respect to crime prevention on their parking lot. 
I demand Marriott to acknowledge that insufficient lighting, absence of security cameras on unmanned parking lot in addition to open access during dark hours like I observed on Friday, 11/14/2014, mean that they don't provide reasonable protection, therefore they have to bear a financial responsibility for my loss. I don't care how I will get the compensation - through Marriott Claims Services or by Marriott directly. Marriott Claims Services should not deny the claim based on false assumptions. 
Regards,
[redacted]

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because Mr. B[redacted] has yet to credit back the $250 to my [redacted] credit card.  My experience with this facility  is that they do not follow  through on their commitments.  Therefore before I accept their response I need to see the $250 credit on my card.  Also, Mr . B[redacted] needs to acknowledge that I have NOT received the engineering report he keeps claiming his employee sent me.   Why has he not sent it to me? If he really wanted me to see it, I would have thought he would have taken the initiative to send it to me.  The bottom line, no one in our group smoked in the room.

The hotel reports as follows:Thank you for reaching out to us regarding [redacted]'s complaint regarding his stay at our hotel back on January 5th for two nights. Our Front Office Manager Carolyn M[redacted] was actually dealing with [redacted] and [redacted].She had sent an email to Marriott...

Customer Care regarding the customers combative interaction with staff.  Long story short has [redacted] mentions. Upon check in [redacted]'s reservation was a [redacted] and both parties presented their Marriott Rewards card.  Only [redacted]'s could be used. However, [redacted] was correct that the Front Desk associate did not immediately offer the breakfast voucher and before either guest could get 2 feet from the front desk she corrected herself.  The gentleman took the vouchers and walked across the lobby to our water station and came back after a few minutes and [redacted] was demanding they both get 100.00 cash as he stood on the Front Desk and leaned across the counter into the associate. Ms M[redacted] was immediately called upon to assist. Ms. M[redacted] reached out to Marriott Rewards to get clarification because she could find nothing on MGS that states a cash payment. Per Marriott Rewards since the guest took the vouchers then the obligation was complete. Marriott Rewards also mention these two guest were from Starwood and the question was raised if they might be misinterpreting the program or might be looking at something totally different. Ms. M[redacted] was able to satisfy [redacted] by providing him a $40.00 food and beverage credit (excluding alcoholic beverages) to use in our restaurant , plus both Marriott reward accounts # [redacted] and [redacted] were provided the points of 1500 each, plus the breakfast vouchers for a full buffet breakfast vs the standard continental.  [redacted] did all he could to obtain a full $100.00 in a food and beverage credit but in the end came to the agreement above.. All of this was day one January 5th. January 6th- [redacted] approach the Front Desk and insisted he had read that he should be getting a beverage and appetizer and wanted more, so the supervisor provided them with two - complimentary appetizer vouchers- no beverages are included with this offer and advised [redacted] they could use one per sitting, such as lunch and dinner for the dates indicated. [redacted] became combative in the restaurant insisting on combining his vouchers and to include beverages and the Manager On Duty for the weekend was asked  to get involved by the restaurant staff only because he was making a vocal scene amongst other patrons. Both Front Desk Supervisors were addressed and had discussions with their Manager on the proper and easier way to handle a guest like [redacted]. which they both found overwhelming with his combative nature, non the less a lesson was learned and they are two dedicated associates and better for it.

From: P[redacted], Kimberly Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2016 9:53 AM To: '[redacted].com' Subject: Marriott Rewards points expiring June 8, 2016 [redacted] Northbrook , IL  [redacted] Via Email: [redacted].com Dear [redacted]: Thank you for taking the time to write the Better...

Business Bureau regarding your Marriott Rewards points expiring after two years of inactivity.  We appreciate your comments and I am pleased to respond. The right for Marriott to repossess points from accounts that have not had activity in the previous 24 months has been a part of the Terms and Conditions of the program since its inception; it is simply a right that Marriott has never exercised.  The reason Marriott is now exercising the right they have always had is the large number of accounts that have a few thousand points in them and have no activity for years and the cost of maintaining the records of these many, many accounts has become significant.  The Marriott Rewards program is, after all, a loyalty frequency program and virtually all such programs, hotels and airlines alike, have provisions to remove points or miles in the event of prolonged inactivity. Points can be protected in a variety of ways of earning or using points.  The easiest way is to stay at a Marriott hotel once every two years.  Another way is to use the Marriott Rewards Credit Card by Chase once every two years.  You can use your points for a stay or on-line for merchandise and that counts as activity.  Finally, you can purchase 1,000 points on-line for $12.50 once every two years. Even though your account has not had activity for over 24 months I am happy to extend a one-time exception and re-instated the Marriott Rewards points that were removed.  Please be advised if this account or these points are not utilized in the next 24 months we will not be able to retrieve them again. [redacted], we know some people will be upset with our exercising a right we have always had but this will allow us to use our resources to provide those loyal members who do have activity once every two years with the best loyalty program we can.  We appreciate your understanding. Sincerely, Kim P[redacted] Kim P[redacted] Corporate Liaison Mr. Marriott Office of Consumer Affairs

Thank you for your reply. Since I filed the complaint, the hotel has refunded to my account the amount for which I was billed. I am, however, still waiting for the $72 in overdraft charges that I incurred as a result to be refunded as well.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I have contacted the travel web company I used to book the hotel room and they stated that they don't issue refunds and stated I should contact marriott for a refund.  It seems that I am just being given the run around.

We have noted the guests comments and apologize she is not satisfied.  The hotel has no liability and plans no further actions.

The description this guest gives of the hotel and her room doesn't match our Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt hotel.  They do not have Jacuzzi tubs or patios. I believe the guest is referring to a different hotel.

General Manager advised she had attempted to reach guest on the telephone unsuccessfully. She sent the guest an e-mail that she had refunded the No Show charge and spoke to [redacted] to do the same thing.  She apologized for the incident happening.

We have contacted the guest and issued a full refund.- Sara T[redacted], Corporate Liaison, Mr. Marriott's Office of Consumer Affairs

Dear [redacted]:
Please accept our apologies for emails sent to you in error.  The member has been contacted and his email address has been corrected.  You should not receive any new emails sent to his attention. ...
