I don't care (in the nicest way) how common it is. Why couldn't they call me to tell me? Or have arrangements pre made? I sat there for 20 minutes as the front desk called other places.
I will certainly be using that guarantee but still feel like it's not enough. I had a three week old reservation and was exhausted at 1am. Moreso, I spent 200+ (literally) nights at Marriott hotels last year... id imagine they don't casually walk Platinum guests..
I have never heard of them calling when the hotel is full. It's not a bad idea.
Unfortunately this is part of the travel game. It sucks. It happens. Suck it up and move on.
Also, your platinum status means so little. I have been platinum for years and long ago realized it's basically meaningless.
