I was unloading my car, preparing to check-in at Fairfield Inn- Murfreesboro, Tennessee, when a young man standing at the hotel entry waved and asked if I was checking in. "Yes," I said, and then he asked if I needed help. "No thank you," I replied, so he turned and made his way to his station to check me in. I rolled my luggage to the front desk and was greeted with a welcoming smile and a genuine eagerness to assist. He quickly pulled up my reservation, thanked me for being a Platinum Elite member, and immediately searched for an available upgrade. I'm happy to say that he was successful in finding one, which resulted in an enhanced 3-day stay. I've been a Marriott member for over 30-years and have almost always received excellent customer service—but never better than the services I received from Aaron. I have spent years teaching undergraduate and graduate-level organizational behavior and I am therefore attuned to employee attitudes and the services they provide. I highly recommend the Marriott company for many reasons, but none more important than the exceptional services offered by employees like Aaron. GRM
