Marriott Hotels – another reason why to book direct

Posted on November 17th, 2014. Written by bookingbusinesstravel.

We’ve always recommended that you book Marriott hotels directly on the Marriott website because their rates match the online travel agents. And booking direct has other advantages:

• The hotel will have the guest name immediately
• Additional flexibility if there’s a problem as you’ll be able to deal direct with the hotel rather than via an intermediary
• More tailored booking options such as specific room types etc

But now there’s an additional reason;

Marriott is offering free WI-FI but only to Rewards members to who book directly on the Marriott website, its mobile app, via a call center or through a particular property. –

Travel Management Companies have complained to Marriott as this policy means that their bookings will not include the free WI-FI

For now however, we continue to recommend booking direct at the official Marriott website
