No upgrade at Marriott Marquis Chicago, well over a dozen suites available. Rep claimed that hotel can decide to selectively upgrade to suites even if available..

The app has each suite listed separately, sort of.

Hotels aren't allowed to keep a number for last minute paid stays?

FYI, Marriott T&C dosnt say anything about this.

Also, I checked in at approximately 11:30 PM.

When I pay for a room I expect to get service as per Marriott's T&C.

If you paid cash, that's not a point redemption

I'm guessing there's a lot more to this story.
Same, although I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't.

That's what it looks like when workers don't get paid and hotel shuts abruptly.

5k points? There is a reserved amount for cancellation depending on category.

Try HUCA and see if they will extend it again.

Applied 5 SNA. Was never confirmed into a suite that I selected. SNA's showed pending on my reservation and never returned. Marriott says it will take 6-8 weeks to have them returned.

Travel with kids is not vacation, it's a business trip.

Au contraire, I imagine this is exactly the type of post one would write on vacation.

Just imagine having to spend your vacation compiling the 283 date combinations that work on a NYC-TLV via Nambia flight deal and then having to deal with 64 commenters asking if it works from TLV-NYC too and 19 who want to know whether it can be booked with UR when both were answered in big red letters in the post.
