Marriott International, Inc.

The Marriott never informed me that my credit card will be charged more in case of incidents. I looked at my bank statement online and was surprised to see the charge. I had contacted Marriott and customer service was no help. They never apologized nor did they offer any solutions. I am very unhappy with Marriott and I will NEVER deal with them again!

Dear [redacted]:
We are in receipt of your complaint In regards to your "Customize Your Rewards" request for the wine cooler noted.

From: Clement C[redacted] Sent: Monday, October 31, 2016 11:57 AM To: '[redacted].com' Subject: Your Reservation/Revdex.com Comments Dear [redacted], I have received your additional comments to the Revdex.com and would like to respond.  I do understand that you do not wish to be held responsible for the No-Show charge from your reservation on 9/26/16. As stated in our previous correspondences, this charge is appropriate and correct since you did not cancel your guaranteed reservation.  In order to strike a middle ground, the hotel had offered to apply this charge to a future reservation.  This option is still open.  If you would like to avail yourself of this, please advise me of the date you would like to stay and I will secure a non-refundable reservation for you.  Barring this alternative, I am not willing to reverse the existing charge.  Please contact me should I be able to provide you any additional information or clarification.

Business Bureau about your group’s experience at the Little Rock North Residence Inn. I appreciate this additional opportunity to respond.When I contacted you regarding the frustration you expressed to the Revdex.com about your experience with our Marriott Rewards representatives, you also inquired about the status of your complaint with the Little Rock North Residence Inn. I subsequently learned your concerns about your hotel stay were reported directly to your company. In response, your company contacted General Manager Candace M[redacted]. In order to address the issues raised by your group, your entire team was relocated to the Little Rock Downtown Residence Inn. Candace did not contact you personally because your company’s Lead Coordinator asked to be the hotel’s sole point of contact.After I received your inquiry about the Little Rock North Residence Inn, I also reached out to Candace. Per your company’s request, Candace contacted your company’s Lead Coordinator. Candace was again informed the Lead Coordinator should remain the sole point of contact between your group, Marriott and the hotel. I understand this is not the response you were hoping for but since your stay at the hotel was initiated and paid for by your company, we must honor their request. [redacted], I am very sorry for your continuing frustration surrounding your experience at the Little Rock North Residence Inn. We also regret the telephone call you received from Candace only increased your frustration. This was never our intention. Thank you again for your comments. Warm Regards,

We have attempted to reach the individual who initiated this complaint both by e-mail and phone for the past three days to no avail.  We do not understand his complaint.  Marriott pursues an "asset light" strategy whereby all of our hotels are owned by third parties.  As a result,...

Marriott would not be involved in an action involving a mortgage on a Marriott hotel, as this would be an action between the financial institution and the franchisee.  Also, Marriott would not be a party to a bankruptcy proceeding except as a creditor for reservations and marketing fees owed by a franchise to Marriott.  Without further clarification and a demonstrated connection to Marriott International, we are unable to further assist in this matter.

for a response.  I would like to apologize for the delay involved during the investigation, but I did fell it was necessary to talk with everyone involved because we were not able to locate the items in question.  After talking with all the staff members that interred your room and cleaned it, unfortunately none of the staff saw the items and we were not able to locate your items.   Out of good faith the hotel would like to offer you 8000 points to be applied to your Marriott Rewards account.I hope this meets with your approval and if there is anything else I can do for you please contact me.Thank youDarrel S[redacted]General ManagerResidence Inn of Forsyth###-###-####

Good day [redacted],
I am so sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing with the tax exempt. I will go ahead and take care of the taxes for you. As for me not calling your back I never received a voice mail from you asking to return your call. Did you happen to just ask the front desk to have me call you?  I did noticed that when you made your reservation you neglected to make your reservation using your Certificate and booked the [redacted] rate I went ahead and applied your one night  certificate for your stay. If you need anything please feel free to contact me.

[redacted],
Thank you for emailing me and resolving the issue.
I called ahead before making the reservation and I was told to go ahead and book the stay through Marriott. The certificate would be applied at checking. As you correctly mention I did use the [redacted] rate.
At checking I was told to wait for checkout. At checkout the front desk made photocopies of all the documents (certificate and tax exemption). She then went to the back office to deliberate and told me the manager would call the main office and call me back within 2 days.
I did leave my phone nr on all the documents.
Today was my second call to the front desk, asking about the status and why I did not get a callback.
I am happy the issue is now resolved. I would have liked not having to call customer service as it was my first complaint about a Marriott stay.
Best regards,
[redacted]
