Well, actually I had a problem with what bulldoggolfer05 said with respect to employees being on the hotel premises during off hours, because I also know employees who go home after work and then come back and use the Hotel's fitness center later that evening. I have a feeling that each hotel sets its standards because what was stated by you and by bulldoggolfer05 is contrary to what I have observed numerous times at this Marriott I frequent often. I do believe that many hotels might have policies similar to what each of you have stated, but I can't see it being corporate wide policy due to my own personal experiences and observations. I will be back at this property for two weeks starting Sunday and already have plans to have dinner with one of the employees I know there during my second week there. I will ask him what the hotel's policy is on us doing lunch, dinner and skiing, and also ask him about returning to the hotel to use the fitness center, or other facilities. The 2 people I knew who used the fitness center left Marriott a couple years ago, and FWIW, I had also gone to dinner with them on a few of occassions.
