I'd be interested to see if that's an actual Marriott owned hotel or a franchise. Having some second hand experience with that

A franchise - the owner will do what the fuck they want and the only thing Marriott (or whatever hotel company) can do is to take away their flag.

While I have no experience with Marriott as a corporation - $114k doesn't seem like an amount they'd have this look for.

I'd wager this is a franchise. I'd also wager, it won't be a Marriott branded property for long. OR - under the threat of losing their flag, this hotel backs off.

For being billionaires in some cases - these owners and ownership groups can be phenomenally stupid.

I'll be shocked if we don't see something from Marriott corporate denouncing this. It would be amazing short-sighted of them NOT to kill that ASAP.

All that being said - I'm all for Marriott being treated as an evil empire - since they are Carrie's competition. So - if this hits them hard - Turd Ferguson Mar 17, 08:57 1

I almost added that it is someone from the hotel, not Marriott. And I agree with your thoughts here. This is how someone gets kicked down... - David Mar 17, 08:57 3
- It's funny you mention that.... - Turd Ferguson Mar 17, 08:59 2
  - Wow, not much has changed in 25 years. - David Mar 17, 09:03 1
    - It's absolutely insane. Carrie is a regional sales director. So they call her up wanting her to perform some sort of magic to fill their hotels. - Turd Ferguson Mar 17, 09:05
