This hotel never seems to have award nights available. Even though paid rooms are available. They are definately doing something against the Marriott rules on award.

Agreed their availability is poor and they're probably trying to keep revenue stays for the festival. But I did manage book a points stay under category 4 after the festival.

Starwood has been quietly changing some hotel categories mid year. Has Marriott now done the same as well?
Cheers.

Hyatt also had one property go up a category, the Hyatt House in Carlsbad, in the middle of 2012.

I will definitely dump my Marriott credit card when my year is up
