Love new Sheraton toiletries. Vetiver is so hot right now 💁🏼

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?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Just booked flight to Hong Kong. Best SPG/Marriott to book on points? Trying to find proximity to good nightlife, restaurants, and public transportation. (Cont.)

Any recommendations on St Regis vs Ritz Carlton Istanbul?

Sheraton Saigon vs Le Meridien Saigon? Traveling to Ho Chi Minh city with my buddies in two days. Thank you!

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

Stay at Hilton Head and visit Savannah or stay at Savannah and visit Hilton Head amongst other places??

Wife and I want to do a quick trip to Orlando with our 3 year old. Just want to do magic kingdom for a day as i think that’s all we can handle. Recommendation a on Disney hotel vs say a Marriott? The price difference is huge and I know I can get a suite for free with my status at the Marriott.

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

Does anyone happen to know the PwC discount codes for Hilton and Marriott hotels...asking for a friend

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

First post? Ok I will start. My SPG nights for 2018 dropped from 101 to 91 after the merger.

Will my lifetime SPG nights and lifetime Marriott nights get combined in the new Marriott program?

Everyone complains about high healthcare costs in the US. I understand that it’s a complex problem including drug prices, insurances etc. But no one talks about the high physician salaries. Why do surgeons make near a million in the US while they make $250K in Canada?

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

What is your goal in life?

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?
