What negotiating questions / tactics are prudent toward lowering the rate?

Thank you for your help.

Rent from redweek.com and you will get an ocean view unit for much cheaper than your current parking lot view unit. Be careful before you send money to a stranger of course but otherwise redweek is MUCH better. You will spend half the money as you would direct from Marriott! You will even get the elite night credits if you rent from an owner.
