Westin... lived there for 18 months, be friendly to the staff and they will take care of you

LeVeque (Marriott) if you can afford it. Otherwise Westin if you're single. Hooked up with several consultants there.

Westin. As a bonus, it is allegedly haunted!

The Joseph (SPG).

Westin. Wait it's haunted? What's the backstory?

D2 - The more interesting part was the hookup, not haunted

Yeah, the 7th floor of the Westin is no longer in use. It used to be the ballroom floor when the hotel was The Great Southern Hotel. Guests staying on the 6th floor often hear classic band music coming from the 7th floor and supposedly some have see a ghostly woman of the period in ballroom garb. Not that I believe any of it but it adds another point of interest besides M1's hookups.

I lived at the Sheraton for about 8 months. It's a bit dark but the rooms are massive and the staff was friendly, especially if you're platinum. The Westin was decent but the standard rooms are much smaller.

FYI If your name doesn’t match exactly you can’t combine.

And when I called SPG they said the account maintenance wasn’t ready so to call back

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

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?

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

Hi everyone! Idk if I need advice or I’m venting but I’ve been looking for jobs actively right now and want to make a switch soon.

This is demotivating and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t make an awful lot (105K in NYC) and I’m looking for a 20-30% bump in terms of compensation. Am I crazy here?
