Anyone else heard about this?
I received the following e-mail notice on March 8th:
Announcing a new Marriott Rewards® benefit - starting May 7, free Internet access for all Gold and Platinum Elite members at nearly 450 hotels across the U.S. and Canada. Log on to the Internet free in guest rooms and public spaces; just check in and connect.
This exclusive benefit will be available at the following brands:
• Marriott® Hotels & Resorts
• JW Marriott®
• Renaissance® Hotels
Plus, every guest will continue to receive free Internet access at all Courtyard®, Fairfield Inn & Suites®, SpringHill Suites®, Residence Inn®, and TownePlace Suites® hotels in the U.S. and Canada.
We know you have places to go. We'll help you stay in touch when you get there. Freedom starts this summer.
