Miri Marriott Platinum Moans

Having just spent two nights at the Miri Marriott, perhaps it is worth reflecting once again on the continuing variations in the treatment of elite members in different hotels. At the Miri Marriott I am rarely upgraded, as a gold used to be offered a couple of drinks in lieu of lounge access, but not as platinum (odd). They also charge me for my children's breakfast. Yes, I know the upgrade is subject to availability, and they do not have to offer breakfast to my kids........but I really am never upgraded at the Miri Marriott, and every other Marriott I have visited with my children have included breakfast for them. I am now in the KL Renaissance, and the difference is stark. I have been upgraded to a suite (again), and of course have lounge access.

I will be dropping down to Gold in January, and will be making much more use of my Platinum Accor status, and a big factor in my decision not to pursue platinum Marriott this year has been the lack of recognition at Miri.
