I think the worst i ever had was at Intercontinental TLV where half hour before checkout someone called me to remind me of the noon checkout. And at 10 past noon another call saying: 'you know that late check out cost $xx, so we're going ahead and charging your room?'

Can't beat the Israeli hospitality

Good one.

That reminds me they did that to a relative on mine at Hilton Eilat on Shabbos. They didn't believe he received a late check out so they wanted to see the confirmation, which was printed and located in the safe.. so they opened the safe  :-X

Nah, probably everything was sold out and they overbooked assuming they'd give some upgrades.
must be. When I asked for an upgrade from a luxe (which I got using sna's to a suite, they told me verbatim that anything past the luxes (any suite, though perhaps junior suite not) is a paid upgrade only per policy.

@danfan5773 has it all figured out. He asked for a low floor for shabbos and got the 19th floor.

Next time he'll be sure to ask for a high floor for shabbos!
Anyone try asking for a non-kosher breakfast to see what happens?

It's a buffet, and they are happy to tell you that there are kosher items and lots of kosher people eat there  ;D

I always wondered what happens if you simply don't leave the room for a bit... Likely nothing. Was thinking of doing that over shabbos when they wanted to force me out of the 2 queen bed to the king, not like they can charge me for that... Regardless it makes no sense that with them basicalyl not allowing late checkout, they can't get the rooms ready in time.. Maybe it saves them on the cost of the housekeeping people...

Is there anyway we can get Marriott corporate's attention to them? For basically not offering the bennies...

I will sometimes push 1/2 Hr at a time and then just checkout when they call where r u!!

Surprised nobody has mentioned the massive downgrade in toiletry amenities here. The new one is awful.

When I went last year, the entire lobby was filled with Jews and their bags waiting until 4pm to check-in. Nobody was able to check in even a minute earlier.

At the end of the day, it's a beautiful hotel and a great location. I would stay there again.

if you go in with low expectations you’ll be fine. But if you’ve been there during the SPH days you will be highly disappointed.
