Hotel Reservation: Floor For Women Only New Hotel To Open In September
POSTED: 8:46 am EDT May 17, 2007 E-mail this story | Print this story GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- No men allowed.
That will be the rule on the the entire 19th floor of a new J.W. Marriott hotel being built in Grand Rapids, Mich.
A lounge at the hotel also will be reserved for women only when the hotel opens in September.
Spokeswoman Andrea Groom said more than half of all business travelers are women.
She told The Grand Rapids Press that they want be able to relax over a drink without getting hit on by guys.
The women-only rooms will have distaff-specific amenities such as special hair dryers, bath products, jewelry holders and chenille throws.
But the businesswomen will have to pay for the privilege. Rooms on the women-only floor will be about $30 more than the usual rate.
I've always been a Hilton customer.
Men should sue for “equality” here.
There’s a men only floor then, right?
Sure, right next to the Men's Studies classroom and the Men's Domestic Court.
Is there a floor only for aids, homo’s, lesbian’s, black, yellow, green, purple and all the hyphenated’s? And will these rooms be serviced by the illegals? What a crock.
I travel all the time and find this notion somewhat squirrelly. Unless the women use a different registration desk, hide in their rooms, don’t exercise, and don’t eat breakfast in the hotel restaurants...
It will be like the women’s only area at my gym which women rarely use.
Agreed. In my business travels, I'd peg it at 25% max.
No womens bars in the area? http://www.thevillager.com/villager_60/alesbianbarwhereeverybody.html
The gym I go to has a lot of space, so they added a “Women Only” area. The women who use it all look like East German shot putters.
I wonder if that is what it will look like at Marriott.
So, are trannies eligible for the women’s only area?
They probably really mean lesbian only floor but didn’t have the guts to say so.
I think it’s a good idea. I’d recommend it to my daughters.
I see more women business people at the more upscale hotels. That is to say, The Westins and not the Holiday Inns. I’ve spoken to a few of them, they feel the fancy joints are safer.
Reality check: if they set up a “men only” floor, with a “men only” lounge, what exactly do you imagine would end up going on there? Hint: it wouldn’t remotely resemble what will be going on in the “women only” setting”. And the men using this floor would be very unrepresentative of male business travellers in general. Marriott has thought this one through. I hope our stupid legal system doesn’t force this innovative feature of a PRIVATE business to shut down.

Maybe they can have their own drinking fountains, too.
I seriously doubt that. If that was their intention, they would certainly have set up a “men only” floor too, and it would be fully booked at all times.
The word is out:
Men, don’t go to Marriott if you want to “hit on women” or to just enjoy the view.
I think it’s a good idea, too!
Same pic I was thinking of
Hehe. The guys will ALWAYS find a way in. ;-)
That would only make sense. As long as the men don't to other floors to hit on women. ;-)
Well, the "innovative feature" of being a father to my son was taken away by the feminazis and their emasculated ilk.
I'll fight women's special rights until I die.
what happens if a woman hits on another woman??
Most parents who have daughters think about their safety. A man recently stalked my daughter in a supermarket, followed her to the car and looked into the window. Luckily her car was locked, and she was able to get away, but she was upset...
I'm definitely in favor of anything that would make my daughters more safe when traveling...
You want your daughters to have all the benefits, but none of the risk.
Women want to be men? Let them play by the same rules.
Thanks. I was hoping somebody would post a pic of Buffy and Hildegarde in a previous thread on this topic.
Right, like the LPGA on tour.
Marriott is not dumb- maybe I don’t see women because they do hide in their rooms, fearful of- me*! A women’s only floor with a lounge like Marriott’s Concierge Level may work.
*You can trust me, women- I’m really not like those others.
There would be a bunch of men getting arrested for violating the civil rights of that majority-minority group, women?
Let the market decide. If this sort of apartheid policy attracts more women than the men it will repel, then it will succeed. If you don’t like it, don’t stay there. I won’t be.
Think that would work if it were men?

“Hotels Cater to Female Business Travelers”
MIAMI (AP)
“When she leaves Detroit on one of her twice monthly business trips to Miami, Robin Walker-Lee, an attorney for General Motors, doesn’t worry about finding a hotel room in a safe environment for a woman traveling alone.
She checks in at Don Shula’s Hotel & Golf Club in Miami Lakes, where the Graham Cos. has introduced the Patrician Floor, a group of 18 rooms set aside exclusively for women business travelers.
The rise in women business travelers has spawned similar concepts in other hotels in South Florida. Wyndham, AmeriSuites, Hyatt Regency and Marriott chains are among those that offer special services to make women feel not only more secure but also more at home.”

Talk a target rich environment for rapists. Dumb dumb idea.
Ooohhh....feelings. Can't have the chicks competing on a level playing field, can we?
It might, I don’t know. Not sure I’d want to stay there either. But I will point out to those on this thread who admire this market ploy that to the beneficiaries of apartheid, apartheid always looks like a good idea.
Sounds like discrimination to me.
Is there a floor only for aids, homo’s, lesbian’s, black, yellow, green, purple and all the hyphenated’s? And will these rooms be serviced by the illegals?

Dang! Don’t give them any ideas.
it's been a loooooong time since i've heard "MAN on the Floor!!!"
“There’s a men only floor then, right?”
I don’t imagine it would be popular with anybody other than wives making a reservation for their husbands!
I know many, many women who travel for business — if they’re not traveling with a man, they generally stay in their rooms.
Contact the Second Amendment Sisters.
I won’t stay at Marriott because they forbid smoking on the property. And I don’t smoke. I just hate hypocrisy and political correctness.
Scotch drinking... cigar smoking.
The other woman will hit her back by beating the hell out of her.
