I agree that these things can be a pain. I usually ignored them (unless I had a beef) until I become friends with a Marriott property manager. Then I learned that they "live and die" by those ratings. Both ratings and comments are shared with the staff. The surveys are still a pain, but I think that they are worth doing (although bonus points would be nice :0 ).
