My Hotel’s Water Tested Positive for Legionnaires’ Disease

On a recent trip, I was stuck with a long layover at Newark International Airport. My flight to Newark arrived a little before 10:00 AM with my outbound to Europe not scheduled to depart until around 6:00 PM. While en route to Newark, I opened the Marriott mobile app to see if there were any cheap award redemptions available for the day. To my surprise, there were multiple properties available for less than 20,000 points a night. My goal was to book the Marriott property with the best guest reviews and the most competitive award rate. This turned out to be the Renaissance Newark Airport.It wasn't until a few minutes after booking that things started to take a turn for the worse. The Renaissance Newark Airport hotel's water supply tested positive for the bacteria known to cause Legionnaires' Disease.
