Upon my check-in on Monday, I was given a letter that they would be merging with the Marriott reservations systems over the next few days, and thus on the 30th of October a folio would be cut mid-stay (did happen as promised). They also apologized that they would not be able to process room charges for the hotel convenience shop/bar/hotel and they would be cash/credit only through November 1st.
I'm just curious, it seems to be a switch-over of the property management system that the front desk clerks use, but I haven't seen anything here about it. Is this a systemwide thing that I've somehow missed a thread on, or maybe they're migrating a few properties first as a test?
Side note: Have stayed at two Sheraton properties post-08/18. In both cases, I was only greeted as a Platinum, not a Platinum Premier. Not the end of the world as I had lounge access but I wondered about upgrade priority, etc...
the seraton vistana villages in orlando migrated ont he 30th and their entire it system broke. They have empty rooms but literally cant take any bookings till the problem has been fixed and today has been the second day - so apparently for some properties this is a bit of a nightmare...
