from a local phone number, so I answered. There are no Marriotts in my city. It was a pre-recorded message that said my phone number had been selected for a free night's stay, just press 1. I have never stayed at a Marriott. I hung up. But I did think about staying on the line and telling them that I wouldn't feel safe staying there.

Marriott Hotels are great properties and a great place to stay.  DH is a "lifetime" rewards member and have never had a problem during our stays.

Smart move Maggie. I was just about to call and ask to be placed in the room next to yours. I wouldn't bring a camera but I think I could get us into all kinds of trouble!

Anything could happen anywhere, IMO.

We only stay at Marriotts. 

I thought the hotel that Erin Andrews stayed at was a franchise and not a corporate hotel.

I think I received the same call yesterday, I hung up on it

I absolutely love Marriott Residence Inns.  It's like having your own little aparment.  

They are more for long-term stays, but people do just nightly stays also.  They are great. and the kitchen is fully equipped.  I stayed once in one for over two weeks and it was totally like having my own apartment.  Love them.  We also got continental breakfast (very good) and two or three nights a week they had "socials" so the guests could meet each other.  They served us dinner  - on the house.  I esp. liked Bar B Q night in the courtyard.  So fun!  I was even able to bring a guest to the meet and greet dinners.  Love the Residence Inn!  During the time I was there it was my birthday and the management put a huge fruit tray in my 'fridge when I was out one day (it lasted me for an entire week) and gave me a bunch of chocolates too with a birthday card signed by the staff.  So nice!   And I felt totally safe.

Oh, I agree that Marriotts are probably great places to stay. I just found the timing very, very interesting. Even though the entity Marriots wasn't involved in the lawsuit, there is bleed through, and I took it as a preemptive marketing call.

@SusieQ_2! Lol! Giggle squared!

dh is a rewards member at marriott and he gets all sorts of advantages from them.  i love their hotels.  impeccable.

Marriott is also involved in time sharing.  Perhaps this could have been related to timeshare sales.  We are always getting calls from Wyndam Hotels for that reason.

Oh geez is common sense around any more? The chance of someone wanting to video you nude is rare.
