I booked my 78-year-old dad a $32 room at the Anaheim Marriott so he could spend more time at a religious convention. I put in my Marriott number, hoping they'd treat him a little better. DID THEY EVER! We should call this Grandpa's Excellent Adventure. I stayed there last summer for $99 in a second floor room facing the parking lot. They put Dad in an ocean view room on the 18th floor next to the lounge which he great enjoyed. And when they accidentally put someone else's $400 bill under his door, they were so embarrassed they comped his parking. I haven't stayed at a Marriott since I was recently upgraded to silver, but this seems amazing! According to his bill, I'm even getting points for the parking he didn't pay for.
