Surely this is some mistake as I would have thought that points are linked to spending at hotel and room rate.

Can somebody please offer me an insight into earning points at Marriot properties.

At Residence Inn you get 5points/$ spent (taxes and incidentals not included). At full service property (Marriott) you get 10points/$ spent and incidentals are included (taxes are not).

Hence the difference.
