Xrated magazines

I would have taken them out and burned them in a safe burn container.
To just put them in the trash does not destory them. Porn has destroyed many a family, it is a sickness and should be done away with. People go through trash all the time lookin for anything. If discovered it would continue to do its nasty deed. All porn needs to be destroyed!
 
I found food left in two separate Marriott properties (a Marriott and a Courtyard) over a one week period. At the Marriott it was left over pizza left in a drawer. I gave it to the bellman when he brought up our luggage. Nothing more was said, or done. At the Courtyard I found a box of cereal and some peanut butter. I called the front desk to ask that it be taken out. We were immediately moved to another room.

When I got home I wrote a letter to Marriott telling them of our experiences. Since we tend to stay at Marriott properties (usually Residence Inns) quite a bit, and this was the first time I'd ever had these issues, I made sure to include that in my letter. I didn't ask for anything, just wanted to make sure their housekeeping services were up to what I'd come to expect from them.

I received 20,000 Marriott points, which I felt was pretty good considering I wasn't expecting anything.
 
Clearly the OP is typical of people in our society... looking for something for NOTHING. I was going to respond how it's not a big deal and to suggest you worry about other stuff in life. However, others have said similar.

Unrelated, I remember finding a Penthouse mag in a hotel room back when I was about 10-12 years old. Remember it like it was yesterday... 30 years ago! :) I found it in the bottom drawer of credenza/bureau type thing and I will have you know I checked every drawer upon checking into hotels for YEARS after that hoping to get so lucky again! I guess I should have been looking under the sofa bed. :)

Funny... and true! If everybody who said they never look at porn really didn't the porn industry wouldn't be so large.

A friend of mine owns some porno stores. He said it is AMAZING who comes in and how much money they spend.
 
I once found a Playboy in the nightstand next to the bed in the hotel room I was stying in underneath the Bible.

I didn't report it to the manager. I read it and left it for the next person.

Hey Matt, thanks for your service. :) But sorry, I don't have any girly mags. How about some chocolate chip cookies or white t-shirts?

In the mid-late 70s I read my way through every spy novel I could find including the original James Bond stories. In one of them 007 looked inside the front cover of a Gideon Bible because that's where previous guests wrote the phone numbers of local hookers.

For 30 years now I have looked in hundreds of Gideon Bibles hoping to see just one such endorsement. (Naturally I wouldn't use it) Not only have I never found a number I'll guess that 95% of the time I was the first person to crack the binding. Possibly the last as well.

***Thanks Matt!!!

...I guess the turning point here is that most of you do not believe this issue is a valid complaint. I am surprised.

The hotel had come forth with compensation without me even asking for it. They just knew it was the right thing to do. I wanted to ask TUG members for their opinions, as I wasn't sure if it was a fair offering. Thank you for providing your opinions.

It is a valid point. And it should not have happened. But I think an apology would have sufficed. Treating the family to an ice cream or similar would have been a nice way to make amends.
 
The quote kind of annoyed me " porn being a sickness". It's kind of like alcohol & even food. It's a personal choice and in moderation is usually ok. The people who say its a sickness remind me of Jimmy Swaggart. They are the first people to actually have a problem.

Actually, at risk of going too far with this topic... overeating is probably more dangerous than over-porning. Overeating you might die... early. Over-porning and you might... go blind!? :)
 
So basically your saying I might go blind right before I die LOL ?

Stayed at a Courtyard one night when i was traveling for my job. When I went to make coffee in the room coffee maker the next morning I discovered the entire bin where you put the coffee filters was completely covered in white mold. Truly disgusting. I unplugged it and took it down to the front desk and asked for another one to be delivered to my room. I had a call from the hotel manager as soon as I got back to my room with his deepest apologies. I had a new coffee maker within 5 minutes. That was all I wanted. It never would have occurred to me to ask for some other "compensation" for my trouble. Why do people today think that deserve something for nothing all the time?
 
I agree, you only got mold, he at least got porn

Eric,

Are you implying that thats compensation in itself? :hysterical:
 
SEA - you are not really believable any more

Your story has changed and grew based on the responses you've gotten. Well, you asked for responses and got 'em. I am afraid that your story no longer adds up. You said in the beginning that the kids hadn't discovered them, then you say they had seen them and had remarked about them. Whatever. You said you wondered who you should talk to about compensation, then you said they offered it to you first. Whatever. I think it is time for YOU to do some apologizing yourself to the hotel for your insistence for compensation, and to us for stre-e-e-e-etching the truth. Yes, pornography has ruined many, many good families. It can certainly be addictive. Please try to put this behind you and move on.
 
The new internal trading system will have....

Marriott direct purchase folks will get free porn. Resale buyers won't.

All Aruba Ocean Club owners will get complimentary porn for all of their troubles.:eek:

Hopefully the OP won't mind that since her situation was addressed, the thread has become quite silly. But this one, Billy, takes the cake. :hysterical:
