Anyone else obsessed with the Westin white tea line? 😅

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Houston downtown JW vs Westin.. Thoughts?

Anyone ever stayed at Westin Tokyo? Is the concierge lounge any good?

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Merged my account this morning. Quite a sentimental moment to delete my SPG app. Bye bye you purple little guy

SPG app updated for me but not combination

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal? (Ie if 6 nights is 60k; let me pay 30k and get the nights and I won’t use the room?); 2 - where are cheapest Marriott hotels? I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

Friend asked to buy my SPG/marriott points. How would that work hypothetically? $0.027/SPG , $0.009/Marriott? (According to Points guy) & transfer to their account?

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

Planning to visit Bali on May 2020. I have a wife and 2 toddlers (4, 1) tagging along. TPG recommends the Le Meridien. Any other recommendations for family-friendly Marriott properties?

Hi, will be staying in London next week. Does anyone have an Accenture rate code for the Marriot / Hilton in London?

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Booked a room at a Marriott property for the Kentucky Derby next year a couple months back and now they are saying they’re overbooked and the reservation isn’t going to be honored. Any help?
