Marriott is great, if you find great hotels with great management, if not your pretty much screwed! Unfortunately if someone at Marriott corporate reads this final line, they would stop after reading the 3rd word and pat themselves on the back!
Even pre-merger, dedicated Marriott Platinum Premier phone agents were generally bad, and they weren't even available 24/7.
