Marriott App Autocomplete Weirdness

Anyone else have this problem in the new combined marriott app? When I put in a few letters, instead of filling in a nearby city, or a city where I've stayed in the past, the Marriott app is trying to find me hotels near random addresses in India. For example, if I type in New, instead of New York or New Orleans (both locations where I have hundreds of nights worth of past stays), I get this:



And if I put in Hou, instead of giving me an option for, say, "Houston" (or even Houston St in Manhattan) I get this:



Anyone having the same issue?

This has come up before - Address searching on Marriott homepage - I'm not sure there's a known solution beyond keep typing out more letters of the actual location where you want to go. (Ironically "Hou" and "New" were examples in both threads)

Those of us who often go to London (Europes largest city) are getting a bit bored of clicking past London Ontario.

To be fair though, even typing LON on British Aiways used to get you an airport in China for a year or so.

Definitely the same problem ... gives some indication on where the coding is being done.
