At check-in, I was told that I could not have a room with two beds (I was traveling with my mother), because the reservation was made on Priceline. After, I said that I wanted to invoke the Bed Type Guarantee, I was given the same Priceline excuse. No apology for the situation or even an offer to move me to a two bed room on 2nd or 3rd night of my stay!

You may add your MR# to a reservation, however, you earn nothing when booked through a third party nor is a rm type guaranteed, you didn't pay Marriott you paid Priceline.
