Marriott II Unit Codes

[dioxide45]

I have a map showing the room categories at the Maui Marriott resort. Napili tower has oceanfront (2 & 3 bedrooms) and island view (2 bedrooms). Lahaina tower has oceanfront (2 & 3 bedrooms), ocean view (2 bedrooms) and mountain/garden view (2 bedrooms).

So to answer your question, it looks like all island view units are in Napili and in Lahaina they have called them mountain/garden view. Not sure of the difference, but the Napili units would look directly at the mountains.

Thanks, I have updated my spreadsheet to show the following.

TOGA....Maui Ocean Club Sequel....Garden View....2BR unit that locks off in to 1BR and studio in Lahaina Tower.
ZZTS....Maui Ocean Club Sequel....Island View....2BR unit that locks off in to 1BR and studio in Napili Tower.

Edited to add: It now looks like the only unit code that I am missing for all domestic USA based resorts is:
Maui Ocean Club Sequel....Garden View....2BR dedicated unit in Lahaina Tower.

Where to find code on II exchange??

We have an II exchange into Ko Olina into a 2 br for Dec 15-22 and I was just researching request for unit assignments. Where do you find the unit assignment code on the II exchange?

How do you get the II exchange added to your Marriott acct?

Thanks for any help, feeling like a newbie here - sorry!

See this thread for attaching II exchange to your Marriott account.... http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198009

Not sure about the other one, but I'm sure others will chime in.

You can find the unit code by looking at the confirmation under My History on the II website.

Thank you both for your replies - great to know the type of Marriott unit we have exchanged into. Ah well, it is a mountain view - so be it, we will be in Hawaii.

I would take mountain view in Hawaii over snow view at home any time.

Sorry to ask such a basic question, but are these codes of any use to those of us requesting Marriott weeks who are not Marriott owners,i.e. through Interval? In other words, would a very specific request for a particular unit or view work with II?

It doesn't matter really if you are a Marriott owner or not. For those resorts that tend to keep exchangers in the view that was on the confirmation, you should be able to go by these codes to see the view on the unit you exchanged in to. However, realize that nothing with exchanges is guaranteed and being a non Marriott owner will put you at the bottom of the villa assignment pecking order.

The confirmation I have for my recent II request has no code on it at all not to mention one of the more specific ones. I requested MKO, so I am guessing that trying to request anything more than that, i.e. OVTM etc. would not help matters.

The codes have nothing to do with a request. They are tied to a specific unit once your request is matched with a specific exchange. The code is what it is based on the deposit and II cannot change it. The resort can then float it to a different unit based on their policies.

You won't know the code until your request is matched and you have a confirmed exchange. You can't change the code or request a different one. In my experience, II reps can't even see this code when you call in and are asking about a week that you want to exchange in to. The code is essentially hidden until you have a confirmed exchange.

Thanks all. I actually now have a confirmed exchange, but with no code at all on it. It only says "studio", which is what we had as a Four Seasons deposit. (We once deposited a FS studio and got a 2 BDRM at one of the Westin, but that has not happened since!) I will just call the resort before our stay and request the building and view I want (for Ko Onlin Hale Nai'a Tower and of course an ocean view) understanding that I may or may not get it.

What are theses codes useful for if one is a Marriott owner? Can you request particular units by code?

To see the unit code, you have to go to the My History page in your II account.

AH, thank you! Our code does not show up on your list at Ko Olina: HTHGV. I notice that all of the other codes are 4 letters and THGV does show up as the studio portion of a 3 BDRM (We have a 2 BDRM lock off at FS Aviara and traded the studio.)

Appreciate knowing all of this even if its utility is not immediately clear to me .

When you have a five character code it means that it is a Marriott deposit. Just drop the first character and compare the last four characters to the list. So your code is:

THGV....Ko'Olina Beach Club.......Ocean View.....Studio portion of 3BR unit.

Thank you so much dioxide45. All makes sense and happy to learn more.

Am assuming there is no difference between the studio portion of a 3BR unit and a 2BR unit, but appreciate the ocean view part. I also imagine there are not as many 3BR as 1 or 2. Any ideas if that is just some convenient placeholder reference or whether they might actually give us an ocean view portion of a 3 BR unit since that is what we were assigned? (Don't use II trades enough to actually understand the fine points of what the paperwork says and what actually happens. We have generally gotten quite nice trades for our FS weeks.)

There may be considerably differences between the studio portion of a 3BR and a 2BR. Not in the unit itself, but rather in unit placement. There are far fewer 3BR units at MKO. They have different locations on the floors. Others will have to chime in on those nuances. As for the physical unit itself, they should be almost identical.

I just got an exchange into Maui ocean club 1 bedroom with code OBOF. Is this ocean front unit in the original building? Thanks

It must be a 1BR dedicated unit. Looking at a graphic that someone else posted, this unit type does exist. I don't have it on the list, but have added it.

thank you for all of your time consuming work on this chart. I am going to
print it and keep in my folder. it will be helpful down the road.
