I just have a res w/confirmation #. Didn't turn in the points yet. In fact, this week I just hit 78k points, which is what i need for the room. They allowed me to reserve this a few months back without the needed points in my account. I've finally reached the level I need. It's a long process I find with accrual in the Marriott program. I don't stay at hotels often and when I do, it's often HHonors for the bonuses they give. I'll take your advice and check the online res system for the 1 br unit w/points.
I know we would prefer the 1 br unit and so would our kids. (they like their own tv these days).
