Hi,

I did this for almost 2 consecutive years...

Company paid a room for the whole year as this was cheaper and more convenient.
Over the weekend I did some travel to visit other cities and every time stayed at a Marriott branded property.

Never got any complaints from Marriott or any letter, however you are not entitled to receive for both nights a credit to your account but I successfully got for both nights the points.

Regards,
Dries
