I recently found an excellent Local Promotional Rate for a Marriott in Europe. The terms and conditions stated "management rate" and "must have signed form to book". I called reservations and to find out whether I was permitted to book this rate - they couldn't answer my question and referred me to the hotel directly. I went ahead and booked the reservation online, and received a confirmation which did not mention any rate rules or documentation required. Then emailed the hotel to ask if I was permitted to book the rate and what documentation was required. I know the email was "read" but I have received no response (and incidentally the rate has now disappeared from the website). Does anyone have any idea what a "management rate" is? Any ideas as to what I should do next?
Thanks for your input!
