Should have asked for those--which would have been either made up or non-existent. PLUS, ALL cancellations and reservations on my Marriott account are emailed (no matter how they are cancelled), so I would know they were lying. They OP probably was in the same situation. I wonder if that didnt happen if the reservation was still active and could have been checked on-line.

(Ok OP was working with a travel agent, but I guess they would still have the Marriott conf num.)
This is exactly why I thought this was all BS as I never received an email from Marriott or my travel agent plus when I talked to my travel agent the next day she pulled up my reservation and said there were no changes.


I did inform Marriott and am concerned as this is a property I will stay at 2-3 times a year and there are not any other Marriott properties in the area.

I am pretty sure the desk agent was not supposed to inform me they were over booked either.
