I was automatically cancelled and found out by looking up my confirmation number on Marriotts website. I received the phone call and said not to cancel but I also would not be accepting the higher rate. After about 3 hours the cancellation showed up on their web site, no email, no nothing, great customer service! I tried to rebook through the marriots website and they aren't allowing any reservations for this hotel for the entire month of August! Maybe they put a halt to reservations until they get this mess resolved!
