Melanie Oudin Not 'Booted Out' of Marriott But She is Shacking Up Elsewhere
Earlier this morning, we learned that the U.S. Open's star player Melanie Oudin was supposedly unable to extend her reservation at a Marriott Hotel after she unexpectedly advanced to the quarter-finals in the tournament.
Well, the rumor mill was burning up this morning about whether or not she was booted from the Marriott Marquis, whether or not she was offered a room at the Marriott East Side or whether or not she was safely ensconced in the Barclay Intercontinental. Now, a Marriott spokeswoman has clarified that Oudin--to the best of their knowledge--was not a guest at the Marriott Marquis. The official statement is here:
The New York Marriott Marquis was surprised to receive a media inquiry on Tuesday, September 8, claiming that the hotel had asked tennis player Melanie Oudin to check out of the hotel earlier this week because her stay had run out.
The New York Marriott Marquis has no knowledge of Ms. Oudin's presence in the hotel, nor was there any guest registered at the hotel under her name. It was never made known to the hotel by Ms. Oudin or her representatives if indeed she was a hotel guest.
We would have gladly extended Ms. Oudin's stay, at the prevailing room rate, had it been requested. We have reached out to Ms. Oudin's agent and would of course welcome her to the New York Marriott Marquis at any time.
However, we've heard whispers that Oudin was actually staying at the Marriott East Side when all this drama happened. When we inquired this of Ms. Duffy she could not tell us that because of guest privacy issues. But she did say for certain that Oudin was not booted out of the Marriott Marquis.
Our sources tell us that Oudin is now shacked up at the Intercontinental. Which might be a better fit for the 17-year-old anyways--they have an American Girl check-in!
If by any chance Oudin's agent happens to be reading this, we would love to hear your side of the story so email us!
