At the LHR Marriott they ask what type of newspaper you want when you check-in & it's not until you check out that you find out you've been charged for them (and it's more than 50cents & worse w/ the exchange rate). If you want to charge me (on something that's supposed to be part of the amenities), then tell me up front - don't surprise me at the end. I've never seen the credit if you refuse statement. Most of the time I get USA Today M-F w/o charge & it's hit/miss on the weekends w/ the local papers- depends on the property. The Grosvenor Square Marriott is good about papers 7x/week w/ no charge.
