Is this entry out of date? ›
By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 3 min read

What Marriott Hotels commits to for business travelers, scored on the Sales-Ready Index, published commitments, not marketing.

Direct answer: Marriott Hotels scores 67/100 on the Sales-Ready Index — rank #6 of 50, above the field average of 54. It commits, in writing, most strongly on hosting and admin, and least on quiet & rest and work surface. The score reflects published commitments only, not any single property’s execution. The full-service template: desk, meeting space, lobby, elite 4pm guarantee. Nothing published above the template.

A score is the floor Marriott Hotels will put its name to, what you can plan on before you book. It does not grade the execution at any one property on the night; use it to set expectations, then verify the specific location.
