I stayed at Pleasanton Marriott in both regular and CL rooms, and the CL rooms do have extra amentities like bathrobe and slipper and extra toileteries. So with this little extra the hotel in theory charge people more for CL rooms.
to expand upon my post - hotels typically have a different strategy on weekends than they do on weekdays...to have 1 class of rooms have the same strategy 7 days a week most likely isn't the most optimum strategy to have and is resulting in lost revenue opportunities
