What does elite mean) to complain about hotel staff not being forthcoming enough for a Gold Elite member during a complimentary cocktail hour.
It sounds like they never updated it after the acquisition and the adoption of the Starrwood Gold status, which would have been Silver at Marriott prior to adoption. You still see some new Gold get confused reading older stuff, where the old Gold is now Platinum or whatever.
