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.
Regardless of whether you take issue to what I said or not, the fact of the matter is it IS in the Marriott policy handbook, and if I still have mine I shall post what it says verbatim (or Socrates can back me up on this, whichever may come first). Just because a hotel lets its employees get away with something does not mean that it isn't against corporate policy. On my most recent stay at the Renaissance Agoura Hills, the night audit clerk was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, hardly an acceptable dress code, but didn't mean that Marriott does not have a corporate requirement for dress.
