Re: Marriott vs. Starwood (by Jill W.):

I own both Marriott and Starwood properties. Marriott Aruba Surf Club and Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas North. I love both and have never had problems exchanging my weeks. The only difference is you have to list your Marriott week with I.I. to exchange even if to another Marriott property. With Starwood, if you want to exchange to another Starwood property, you do not need to list with I.I. -- you use your StarOptions to do so.
