I did think about how awful it would be if I ended up getting him into trouble, just trying to commend his (literally) going the extra mile for me! Your suggestion is great, I will definitely use it. I was also thinking about saying how it was so great that he had the autonomy to make that kind of a decision. But I also find myself thinking maybe I shouldn't send a note to the supervisor, just in case. Hard to know. Sorry about your experience with your neighbors not caring... I would have been offended, too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Hi Mrs. MT, yes, isn’t it too bad that that should be a concern?

He may not have had the autonomy to do this, but was moved to do so anyway. I would at least include how this has reinforced your opinion of the marriott name, yadda yadda, and how you will be much more inclined to stay at a marriott brand hotel in the future. It would just cover bases so that the young man doesn't get in trouble. I haven't had any great encounters with strangers. Actually, on Sunday night our car broke down in our apartment complex, in the rain, and our neighbors didn't even stop to see if we were alright. A little disconcerting actually.
