My
stay
at
AC
Hotel
Guadalajara
was
very
disappointing.
I
am
a
Marriott
Platinum
Elite
member
and
I
am
very
loyal
and
familiar
to
the
Marriott
brands,
including
AC
Hotels,
and
was
very
disturbed
to
find
that
my
status
was
not
really
appreciated
and
recognized
at
this
property.
I
booked
five
nights
with
points.
First
of
all,
I
wrote
to
the
hotel
through
the
chat
feature
of
the
Marriott
app
one
day
prior
to
my
arrival
without
receiving
a
response,
I
asked
if
I
can
get
an
upgrade
to
a
suite
if
there
is
availability.
Upon
check-in
I
mentioned
to
the
general
manager
about
writing
by
chat
and
he
claimed
that
they
never
get
my
message
(a
negative
response
is
then
sent
the
following
day!).
Nevertheless,
he
mentioned
that
they
do
not
have
suites
available
for
that
night,
but
he
will
let
me
know
the
following
day
or
two
if
there
will
be
availability.
I
got
assigned
the
same
room
type
I
booked,
which
was
a
very
small
queen
bedroom.
During
the
check-in,
I
also
asked
the
general
manager
if
I
get
breakfast
included
(a
status
benefit
I
get
at
many
Marriott
brands),
and
he
confirmed
that
I
have
the
breakfast
included.
I
checked
the
following
day
Marriott
website
to
see
my
status
benefits
at
AC
Hotels
and
I
found
that
I
do
not
get
free
breakfast
as
a
status
benefit
at
AC
properties,
but
I
can
either
get
500
Bonvoy
points
or
$10
food
and
beverage
credit
per
day.
The
Marriott
website
specifies
that
if
the
hotel
does
not
give
me
the
choice
between
the
two
benefits,
I
am
entitled
to
$50
compensation.
I
then
talked
to
the
front
desk
again
to
confirm
whether
I
really
have
free
breakfast
or
not,
and
the
agent
there
told
me
that
I
do
not
get
a
free
breakfast
(I
have
already
used
their
breakfast
for
that
day)
because
I
booked
on
points
and
that
they
are
currently
giving
free
breakfast
with
their
paid
reservations
and
he
suggested
that
this
might
have
been
the
source
of
the
confusion.
I
mentioned
to
him
about
the
$10
credit
or
500
points,
and
he
said
he
is
not
sure
I
can
use
this
credit
towards
breakfast
(which
costs
a
bit
more
than
$10)
but
he
will
ask
the
general
manager
to
confirm.
I
also
asked
him
about
the
entitlement
for
$50
compensation.
Few
hours
later
the
general
manager
called
me
and
he
was
not
impressed
by
my
discussion
with
the
front
desk
agent.
In
fact,
he
was
a
bit
angry
that
I
asked
for
compensation
and
he
thought
I
am
throwing
this
idea
at
them
out
of
nowhere.
He
told
me
that
they
have
been
trying
to
make
me
happy
and
that
he
is
making
his
best
to
move
me
to
a
suite
but
I
am
kind
of
creating
problems,
which
was
a
bit
rude.
I
explained
to
him
that
I
appreciate
his
efforts
to
move
me
to
a
suite
upon
availability,
but
my
discussion
was
about
wrong
information
he
gave
me.
He
denied
telling
me
that
the
breakfast
is
included
with
my
reservation
(I
am
sure
he
told
me
it
is
included)
but
he
said
I
can
use
the
$10
towards
breakfast
and
pay
the
difference
and
that
he
will
change
the
benefit
preference
from
points
to
food
and
beverage
credit
of
$10
per
day.
I
told
him
that
the
Marriott
policy
states
that
I
should
be
compensated
with
$50
because
I
was
not
offered
the
choice
for
the
status
welcome
gift
(he
admitted
that
he
did
not
offer
me
the
choice
at
the
time
of
check-in).
He
said
he
will
check
that
part
of
the
policy
and
get
back
to
me.
The
following
day,
the
front
desk
agent
Monica
called
me
to
offer
me
to
move
to
a
`junior
suite`
which
is
basically
just
a
bigger
room.
She
said
suites
are
available,
however,
she
reviewed
the
Marriott
upgrade
policy
and
I
should
have
paid
more
to
get
a
suite
not
through
complimentary
upgrading,
which
is
contrary
to
my
knowledge
and
experience,
as
I
did
get
complimentary
upgrades
to
real
suites
at
various
Marriott
properties
when
there
is
availability.
When
I
checked
out,
agent
with
name
Fernando
refused
to
give
me
my
invoice
or
folio
because
he
said
I
am
paying
with
points,
so
technically
Marriott
is
paying
according
to
him,
and
they
receive
the
invoice
not
me!
And
telling
so
in
a
very
rude
way.
