Court-yard Marriott Clemson - Superb Hospitality!!! *****

So, I've heard quite a bit of whining today on T-net regarding the Court-yard Marriott Clemson. I'm not one to jump to the defense of a business, especially one that has allegedly caused harm to a fellow Tiger, but I feel compelled in this instance.
I have been a Tiger fan going way back to '12. Never missed a home game or a bowl game. Due to business meeting I had in Dubai in early September, I had anticipated missing the Clemson/Texas A&M game. Luckily I was able to close the deal early and come to an agreement with the Al Falasi Family ahead of schedule (it's amazing what a few extra Dirhams their way will do).
This left me with a major dilemma... I had no where to stay in Clemson for the A&M game! I have promised my fishing shack on Keowee to 40 of my DKE brothers, and there is no way in Hades that my Margo will sleep on the Maltese Falcon.
I called my buddy Arne Sorenson at Marriott and explained my predicament. I had helped his son with some legal misunderstandings, so he owed me a favor. He went out of his way to free up a block of rooms at the Marriott in Clemson so that Margo, myself, and our two Saluki pups could have separate rooms, along with a few members of the Al Falasi family who have never been to the US.
Some folks say that customer service is dead, but I tell you that Marriott Hotels is heads and shoulders above the rest in this regard!
Go Tigers!!!

I must admit that this post sounds a little on the self absorbing mode but it has absolutely nothing to do with what earlier people were complaining about. Theirs was not a business deal, a favor paid back, of anything about some royal family.

This seems to be the thing that some contrarians do here, now. I’m not sure if it’s an inside joke, or they’re so emotionally detached from reality that they do these “opposite” posts as a troll to get a reaction out of the original posters. For validation? Perhaps it’s intended to be an attempt at humor? We will never know.

Since this hotel is always at capacity on football weekends, I wonder who got bumped to make room for you.

That's some good news. I had something similar happen. They bumped some people for a couple of rooms for me too. Doubt I make it to the game, but I have the option of showing up.

I think I have met you before at Obed's tailgate before a couple of home games. Are you, like me, a member of the Range Rover owners club that meets at the Poinsett Club once a quarter?
