I checked out of the Nashville Airport Marriott today and was shocked to see they charged me $5 for receiving a package from Amazon this week. I am a plat and have had packages sent to me at Marriotts for years, and never been charged. I have stayed at this property on a weekly basis for several months, so I am not a convention or one off guest. This was the first time I had a package sent to me at this property, although I am expecting 2 more next week.

The front desk waived the charge "this time." What is the deal with this? They claim this policy began 4 months ago as they are receiving packages no one is picking up, but clearly I picked up my package. I do feel like this particular property is nickel and diming me - these charges, charges for 1800 calls, etc.

Are there new Marriott policies in effect in 2008, or is it just this property?
