Where's the money?
As a commercial real estate property manager what also troubles me is the free space that Marriott occupies in the Ocean Club, e.g. sales office, Pavilion Bar, and all stores in the lobby. Marriott has the right to those spaces in perpetuity for $0 in rent to us. Just imagine how much lower our maintenance fees would be if the rent that Marriott collects goes to us?
In the meantime, we pay the cost of lighting and cooling those spaces but get nothing in return. We should be receiving a fair rent from the merchants as well as Marriott for the spaces that they occupy.
Marriott should be embarassed as to how much money they made in the development of the Ocean Club. Do the math. 213 units x 52 weeks x $20,000 average price = over $200,000,000. And for this they can't pay rent for use of our building?
I think that it is time for these shenanigans to be made public. Can anyone get these facts out to the travel industry press?
