Marriott International reviews and complaints 1
View all 221 complaintsMarriott International - misleading customers
At the time of our timeshare purchase at marriott horizons your salesman, kenneth harrop, misled us as to the way timeshare could be used. He over and over stated that whenever we wanted to use our timeshare, at any time of year, we would have no problem. Well, we tried to use it this february and had to go through interval because of this lie he told us. The units are fantastic and we in essence bought it for our children, but again I am extremely unsatisfied with having been lied to. When we tried to contact a manager or anyone to help us we were given the shuffle and noone ever responded. I know this is not how marriott wants to be represented so I am passing this complaint to corporate to see what if any action will be taken

In all my e-mail in the subject The band name is there.
I said in my last e-mail this is more troubled then it worth.
1. why is that in my last e-mail that I gave the address of the location and the phone number, how much I payed for each visit. you can't find the location.?
2. Why is it that you say ..you could call for me. What is it that you do.?
3. I look at your web sites.. and I attach the brand name to this e-mail. It has fairfield Inn. Oh my God their is only one brand hotel fairfield Inn Marriott.
4.Once again Seriously ... really .. I'm Just saiding ..Wow ..wOW
5. Now .. you stated I enroll and you told me this. Now I enroll in my room at the hotel that you agree to a statement for using the enternet, which is the home page of the hotel that you stated.
You could see my enrollment day. But you are asking me to give you the Brand name of the only fairfieldInn hotel listed on your web site...
Wow...you clearly are harassing me over point. I am done with this once again.. You made not enjoy being nice to people but I do.
As I mention before this has become more trouble then it worth...

Hello,

I just sent your letter to several news station and to all the local and state new papers.. Also face book and any blog that I can find. I am also going to send all these e-mail to your investor. who have stock with-in this company...
Are you serious ... really I sent you the address and the location and the phone number to were I was staying and the price of my stay ...
So you must have a problem working for your company or your just not a nice person.
Once a again thank you for all your service.

> Our Marriott Rewards office is on the receiving end of the information submitted by a hotel. If a stay is not posted, we must have a copy of your hotel receipt to post the missing credit. Our office does not have direct access to your personal billing information at hotels, which is why our terms and conditions state that if a member is missing credit, they should submit a copy of their hotel receipt to our office. This information can be verified on our website at the following link:

>
> As you do not have easy access to your hotel invoice, I will contact the hotel on your behalf and request your itemized hotel receipt. Please be advised that our hotels vary considerably in their response time to receipt requests. Many of our properties will provide your billing information to our Marriott Rewards office within 10 days of receiving my request, but please be advised that some hotels can take longer to respond. Please be assured that when I receive your receipt from the hotel, I will add all eligible credit.
>
> In the future, if you would prefer to not wait for the hotel to process our request for your receipt, please keep a copy of the receipt until you see the stay post to your account; you can always request two copies of your receipt at check out. If your stay does not post in seven to ten days after check out, I would be happy to expedite your missing stay addition; simply email by attachment, fax or mail a copy of your hotel bill directly to my personal attention and I will have all eligible credit posted to your Marriott Rewards account within two to three days of receipt.

I also bought through Ken and he lied to us also. He told us we would be getting a week a year but now I see it's a week every other year. Now I called and he no longer works there. Have you heard back from them.
