But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Marriott below.

Let us call and talk to Marriott for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this Marriott phone number to document the phone system.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Just wait through the prompts
Below are some clips we've found from Marriott's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

They may ask your reason for calling (instead of a menu)

"Thank you for calling Marriott.
If you are calling to book a new reservation, please say new reservation or press one.
Otherwise, tell me in a few words. How may I assist you today?"

What are the hours and when should I call?

Marriott operates the call center for this 888-236-2427 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 587 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Call when they- and you- are open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, you can also schedule the call with Marriott at a time when they are open and when it works for you. We will confirm you are ready before placing the call, just in case. That means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Marriott phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Marriott staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Marriott is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 44% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 587 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Marriott

In summation, the best day to call Marriott is Tuesday.

Marriott Customer Help Desk / Web Support

marriott.com - Customer Service
Online customer service submission form
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Marriott customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
