Sounds like the hotel manager got in touch with you in about an hour to offer you a replacement room. That seems like a reasonable level of service. I get that it was super late at night, but you also checked in at close to 11 PM.

Anytime I have an issue with a room - loud noise, smells of smoke, etc. I just go down to the front desk and ask for a new room. There’s no need to deal with the back and forth.

For this situation, send them an email or give them a call and ask what they can do for you in this situation - maybe give you access to the club lounge, upgrade you on your next visit, or give you a few points. I would never straight up ask for points in this situation.

the manager to find you new room. After a while and no news I called front desk again for the second time at 11.30 pm, who said the manager will call you. At 12 am and still silent, i called again and front desk said my manager will call you. I was so exhausted and asked for the manager’s name. 12.10 am the manager finally called to just say yes we’ll give you a replacement room. Is this worth point compensation? And how would you ask?

I doubt it was an engineer, do you know what an engineer is?

That’s what they call maintenance staff at almost every hotel I’ve ever been to. Take it up with them if you don’t like it.

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?
