With all due respect, that's just silly. Marriott has LOTS and LOTS of very fine category 4 hotels.
I never fail to use my free-weekend-night certificates -- and I don't use them at dumps! Recently, I used one at the Renaissance Hotel in Plantation, FL (just west of Ft. Lauderdale). That place is fabulous.

I agree with you Bruce that Marriott has several great Cat 3s & 4s, but that is not the case on the West Coast (AZ & CA specifically). I do not want to have to fly for my weekends (I already do at least 2 times a week) and would rather prefer something within driving distance. But any good property out here is a Cat 5 or 6 (mostly 6). I don't blame them though, southern Cal (and AZ in the winter) is a tourist hub and they do fill up the rooms on weekends so no point giving away a free room.
