Thinking about this past year, I do not remember hearing about this many folk getting cancellations of directly booked early Marriott hotel reservations. I admired those who were able to book early. Looks like those days may be gone.
Just had my Moxy reservation for next year cancelled. the email blamed it on an “internet glitch”. Whatever…Sent from my ? using
I got the same thing. Then I called the hotel and they said that the Marriott has set up a number just for this BS. People have said that Marriott is infamous for doing these cancellations to get the higher prices
I booked via booking.com for the Residence Inn Downtown/Gaslamp on the off chance it actually worked and didn't get cancelled. So far, it hasn't been cancelled, though of course I suspect that it partially has to do with it being a third-party site. I imagine maybe it hasn't been sent to Marriott's booking systems yet and that's why.I honestly always take these early bookings for my back-up hotels, especially if they're for reasonable pricing etc., as dubious at best in terms of if they'll work out. In the back of my mind, I hope for the best but won't be surprised if it doesn't at all get honored.It will be interesting to see how this plays out though long term. Especially with returning reg coming up soon.
I booked via booking.com and they still cancelled.if I weee you, I would call them to make sure your reservation is still good.
Oh! Thanks for the heads up!! I'd only seen people (in the discord) mention that their booking.com ones still seemed to be fine, though it's a bit scattered in terms of dates it was said. I'll go ahead and contact them about it. It was a back-up reservation regardless, but it would be nice to know earlier than later if it's already going to be cancelled.
FWIW that would've been fall of 2019: a lot of space between then and now (with one or two major global events that occurred that may've clouded memories a bit as well :P ).
Should we start looking for hotels to book now or wait? I don't know if things have changed since 2017 (last time I did SDCC). I remember there was a lotto or something for hotels. I lucked out in 2017 and was able to get a room at Horton Grand Hotel. Thanks!
