So I thought it was just as important to express my pleasure with Marriott as I do my displeasure on this site. In the last week I've been pleasantly surprised by a couple hotels that have gone above and beyond for me as a Platinum Premier.
This past weekend I spent the night in Chicago (Courtyard Magnificient Mile) using a free night certificate from my Marriott Visa. Upon check in I was informed I was upgraded...wait, that's not even the surprise...additionally I was given a two coupons for 50% off in the restaurant for two people. Not that I'd necessarily consider eating at the hotel restaurant in a city like Chicago...but 50% off (any meal or room service) is a pretty nice perk.
I just checked in last night to the Renaissance Eden Roc in Miami. I was given the Platinum welcome gift option when I arrived. The sheet included the standard food or 500 points...but also included free internet for my entire stay. As I went to choose that option, the guy at the desk told me that he was giving me that just for being a Premier and to choose something else.
Did someone tell the hotels that they need to recognize Premier above and beyond Platinum or what? Needless to say...I'm feeling the love, and basking in it...lol.
