Updated statement by Marriott:

"Our hearts go out to the people and communities that have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Marriott International has over 30 hotels in the path of the storm. While most of our hotels remain open, we are assessing the extent of impact on each hotel and efforts are underway to fully restore operations in those properties more significantly affected by the storm. We express our appreciation to associates who have tirelessly helped coworkers, guests, local authorities and members of their community to weather the storm.

To help those in need, Marriott International and The J. Willard & Alice S. Marriott Foundation are each contributing $250,000 to the American Red Cross, for a total contribution of $500,000, to assist those communities and individuals impacted by the hurricane. In addition, members of our Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest, and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards loyalty programs have the option of donating points as contributions to the American Red Cross.

Hotels in the impacted area are waiving cancellation fees but details will vary depending on the hotel so we encourage our customers to call (800) 228-9290 for more information about their reservations. Those in countries outside of the United States seeking information about the impact of the storm should call the Marriott International toll-free number in their country."
