Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted April 24, 2013 I stayed at the Marriott September 2012 and did not have to pay a deposit. Who is saying that you have to pay one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristen125 18 Posted April 24, 2013 I paid a deposit to my coordinating company of 500.00$. I did not have to pay a deposit directly to the hotel, it was included in the price of my package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
confidence 46 Posted April 24, 2013 Rosie sent me an email saying the policy changes since feburary where the marriott now required $100 security deposit. Wish i had known this all along. She said its refundable. I guess if we dont violate anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fletcherette 203 Posted April 24, 2013 Yes I was there in march and they took the 100$ and refunded it. I guess they had issues with people smoking in non smoking rooms so they started taking a deposit, no biggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amys 41 Posted April 24, 2013 I had to so the first night I gave them cash, but when I got back from the hospital, I didn't have enough, and my credit card didn't have 100 on it, so my coordinator just signed for me luckily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristina J. 581 Posted April 24, 2013 You actually "pay a deposit" when you stay at any hotel on the states, you just may not realize it. I was a manager at Marriott before leaving to have my kids. When you check in on a normal stay, your price may be $100 per night for 2 nights but your credit card is actually authorized for more like $250. It's for "incidentals" so that the hotel knows they have room to charge for any movies or room service ordered and in the case of Marriott, which has been smoke free since 2008, for possible smoking in the room. However, when you check out, the posted charges are only what you've actually spent. That deposit can be taken in cash as well, then refunded when you check out, same as in MX! Hope that helps!!

confidence 46 Posted April 24, 2013 I know because I have stayed in hotels in the states where a deposit is required. Just never heard anyone mentioning this before. Is there anything we have to pay for while in Mexico other than tipping. I mean surgery wise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azheavensent 11 Posted April 24, 2013 I was at the marriott from the 14 - 16th of this month you do have to pay a $100 deposit either by credit card or cash I paid in cash and got it back when I checked out. I had no other costs besides tipping while I was there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
