For what it's worth, I so rarely see newspapers at any Marriott brand anymore that I've forgotten that it used to be a somewhat standard hotel benefit.

On one hand, I don't really care: newsprint is an obsolete form of information delivery. On the other hand, it's a quaint anachronism of a prior age and it brings back fond memories to touch and feel an actual newspaper. If I see one on a travel day, I grab it and read it on the flight.

I at least wish hotels kept a small pile of them in the lobby.
