I think when it comes to lodging in and around a fire zone, the situation is expected to be very fluid. And the scenarios go well beyond Marriott and anyone’s hotel bookings, I’m afraid.

Anyone taking this opportunity to slam Marriott is a bit tone deaf IMO. Marriott and any hotel owners/managers are just as uncertain as to what might happen as residents, but Marriott has no reason to say reservations won’t be honored until there might be cause to do so. Use your own common sense and please don’t blame hotels that may be in impacted zones with bigger issues and priorities.

Any reasonable person should be able to discern that this is a frightfully challenging situation. Let’s behave better.
