NO questions asked! They just mention it at check in. Marriott better shape up or I will be switching all my stays next year.

Also going to try some Hyatts. Was big on Hyatt 10+ years ago and going to circle back to give them a try again. Have 3 Hyatt stays planned this year.
I've never asked for more than an hour or two later check out. The last time front desk literally sighed out loud, rolled her eyes before asking my name or room number. Had no idea I was Plat. When she saw she begrudgingly offered 1 pm. She laid such a guilt trip on me I declined and finished reports on my laptop in the lobby. Funny thing, if you book through FHR Amex program it's guaranteed.
