Well that was odd
Just got an email from someone at the Pere Marquette confirming my upcoming stay.There was a link to a "by request"type amenity chart offering to have beer,wine,sweets etc. waiting for me in the room-all at high prices!
Is this revenue generator unique to this property?
Anyone else get this?

Its New Orleans! I do love this property. Off the beaten path but not too far from everything. Very Quiet - Very Modern (like a W hotel). The club was nothing to write home about. Very nice place to stay.

Funny you mentioned this, as I just got a similar email for my upcoming stay at the Ren Austin. The message preceding the link to the amenities said:
"Please view the list of standard amenities we offer to all of our guests and additional amenities you may choose to personalize your stay further. Just click on the Internet link to start planning your distinctive Austin experience."
Sounds like Marriott's trying a new method of "revenue generation," to select properties, as you pointed out.
