I particularly missed the Seattle Chocolates at the Seattle Ren.
Well my son missed them anyway. I save them all and give them to him on my return. Saves me a run to the airport gift shops!
Have the Marriot properties cut back on these little amenities to save money? What else have they eliminated that I've yet to notice?
Probably would have been best to ask a manager about the chocolates while you were there. Are you saying that the turndown service was performed, but w/o chocolate? I remember a few years ago, in a misguided effort to brand differentiate, Rens began to provide turndown alternates to chocolate. One night an herbal teabag, the next night a tiny pouch of nuts, etc.
