When that happens, the hotel doesn't have any rooms for anyone, even Plats, as the group/individual has contracted for them.
So if a hotel (i.e. possibly a conference hotel) has a lot of "events" that contract for its rooms inventory, then I suspect it may happen a lot.
No - no limit, yes your beliefs are correct
FYI - Marriott Corp changed their name upon spinning Marriott International off to the shareholders to Host Marriott, subsequently they changed their name and today are known as Host Hotels & Resorts....they are a very large owner of hotel assets but they are not an operator (they are a REIT)...the hotel company is Marriott International (I call them MI for short)
