Management was beside themselves and of course gave me the night free but what would you ask for in terms of compensation for a man having key card assess to your room? The police are investigating how he had access.
What is reasonable to ask from Marriott? I am platinum, I don't know if points, status for life or what to ask for. Any ideas???
Thanks and BE SAFE!
Oh, welcome to FlyerTalk!

I second the suggestion to close and bolt the door.

I also always put out the DND sign, which could keep folks from inadvertently entering your occupied room. I checked in late one night to a FI and happened to see the DND on the door. It turned out the room was occupied and they had mistakenly given me an additional key.

As far as compensation, just decide what's important to you and what sounds reasonable.
