Reserving Suites via Marriot.com
 

With all the suite upgrade discussion here lately, I thought about actually reserving a suite. I chose several hotels that listed 50+ suites on the hotel information pages. Then I tried to book multiple dates as far as next January. In only one case were suites listed as an available room type.

Do I need to enter a special code to see suites as a room type? Are suites not generally reservable via the web site?

Just curious.


Thanks,

When trying to view all the different room types, I've had better luck with Expedia, which usually provides a very broad listing of rates. I, too, am surprised how hard it is sometimes to use hotel websites to book something other than a standard room.

Sometimes the suites do show on Marriott.com. Recently, I reluctantly gave a suite booking at the Mayflower in DC. I had a great rate for the 4th of July weekend for a 1bdr suite.

No...a good number of hotels have only a limited amount of suites and sell them via the sales dept only...most hotels with a large amount of suites though will make them available via reservations (and the internet)
