I don't think there's any end to what properties are going to pull going forward - Marriott doesn't appear to care in the least.

I recently stayed at the Huntsville Westin, where the breakfast was on par with any Best Western lobby offering - and juice was $5 glass! They have servers for this juice (but get your own slop of watery eggs, etc), who offer it to you without telling you there's charge. Then, of course, there's a line on your bill to add a tip for this utter insult. I cannot think of a single thing that a hotel has done in recent memory to generate so much ill will towards their property and their brand. It's a complete mockery of the Plat program and its supposed benefits.

I do have an ambassador through which to air such complaints. However, I've decided that the better approach is to publicly shame properties on a case-by-case basis going forward. I didn't want to start my own thread on the topic, so thanks very much hungarianhc for this opportunity!

(And no, you are not being overly entitled - you are being screwed and screwed with!)
