Availability is dependent on the size of the hotel, primarily. Most hotels set aside 10% of their rooms for point redemption under "normal" rewards. Then there's the possibility of an event or a busy season or a blackout date which can further limit the availability, as well as individual hotel policies.
(And yes, I used to work there, if you couldn't tell.)

I am staying at the Park City Marriott. I was talking to the front desk manager today about Marriott Rewards. He says at this hotel they normally don't let more than 10 rooms per night go to an award. There are 199 rooms total. So, that's 5% in this case. Doesn't seem like very much!

BTW: I think this is my 3 hundreth post!
