Be among the first to test our new App, Guest Services

I am sure this has been reported before, but I could not find a thread... Please merge as necessary.

I received an offer for a 1,000 point bonus for checking in using the app...

Great idea, poor execution

by Michael Elliott
So I thought, great, I can just check out on my iPhone instead of calling and leaving a message or dropping but the front desk. But then I discover the app requires your confirmation number to sign in, doesn't connect to my other Marriott app (which is the only place where I can get the conf#, and requires you to sign in the morning of check out (at which time the other Marriott app has stopped showing the reservation and conf #!)

Totally useless for check out.


Waste of time

by Karnie123
It could not even find my reservation by confirmation number. There is no other way to search for a reservation. It should recognize it by member number. This app will be deleted. Good theory. Pathetic application.


Needs work

by toniscarpa
It is a good idea but it need work and rethinking. It needs a reservation number, so I had to go on the Marriott website to get it. Even then it declared the number was invalid.
My suggestion is to have linked to the the website log in and password and to have an iPad version
