2 days till the business traveler equivalent of Y2K for hotels. How are we feeling, optimistic or pessimistic about the 18th and SPG/Marriott?

I totally got the days mixed up and thought it was Monday. I was complaining today trying to figure out who in their right mind at Accenture decided to encourage the huge hotel tech merge on a Monday. πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

Was chatting with a spg employee this week and apparently they already launched the consolidated CRM and reservation desk systems last week without many issues. The 18th is essentially just an app push and a table update.

@M1 You stay at Hyatt?! 🀯

funny

I got recognized for my combined 105 nights when I checked into a Westin on Saturday - so it sounds like the backend is consolidated already.

Staying at Hyatt next week, so no need to use/care for at least a week. Hopefully the glitches will be resolved by the time I need to check in on a couple of weeks

OP just took a gander at guessing your ageπŸ˜‚... Yeah, me too!

Hey Hyatt on average is better than most SPG properties I've stayed in...

Maybe it's just my luck with getting the worst Westins in the US, but seriously not as impressed.

VP1- back end has been consolidated for over a month. I was on a Marriott challenge for stays and was surprised in July when I hit my challenge staying at an SPG.

PC - that makes a ton of sense, I’ve had really long check-ins the past few weeks. Hopefully no further issues tomorrow!
