Very true.. I'll consult with the hotel.. At the end of the day, the shoes need replacement which were bought at Nordstrom by a Sales person I deal with a lot, and I have the receipt as it was a couple months ago. As for the Leather bag, I'll have it cleaned and conditioned.. A little wear and tear gives is character.. Again a special order from Nordies
I'm not trying to take advantage of the situation, I just want to know what to expect.. Marriott lost a nice Etro shirt of mine, and could care less.. In fact Mr. Marriott's office told me to be happy with 10,000 points and get over it.. (As a platinum with plenty stays)
If they replace my shoes, and comp my stay, and throw me some points I'll be more than pleased..
I tripped and fell at an IHG property (due to their fault completely) I was happy with them covering my hospital visit, and returning the points I paid for the stay with.. I didn't mention the several hundred on incidentals etc... I'm not a compensation whore..
