I wasn't looking for a freebie, I was just irked that I wasted points when I could have stayed at a Residence Inn, etc, etc for less points.

I guess Santa didn't get my letter.........
Was this the place?

If so, what was wrong with it that prompted you to call the elite line, and what were you expecting them to say? Yes, most Marriott properties are independently owned.
