"The Allstate corporate code ALL is in Marriott's system with no widely documented community verification incidents. General Marriott analysis notes: "Select-service properties like Fairfield Inn, SpringHill Suites, and Courtyard tend to only verify IDs during high-occupancy events like local conventions." Allstate is an insurance company with significant employee travel volume, making the code less unusual to hotel staff in the Midwest where Allstate is headquartered."

"We know what the various Deloitte, EY, PwC, Google, Meta, etc badges look like. If you work for the company, it’s not a problem to verify that you work there. We do this for the random people that say they work for Deloitte, when in reality, they just refill the vending machine at a Deloitte office."

"I used to work night audit at a 4 diamond Marriott resort. It was me, an 80 year old valet who just slept in the cars, and a 4'11" security guard. She wouldn't check anything out because "I'm a woman. If there's someone there, they could attack me." So I, the 19 year old woman, would investigate. Guest needed towels? I brought them. I would have to go up to a computer room to run some of my reports. I occasionally had to pee, because I'm selfish like that. So whenever I was gone from the front desk, it was just unstaffed. It sucked."
