First Marriott stay?
My first stay at a Marriott was the Orlando Airport Marriott. Was on an Icelandair flight back in the eighties that returned to MCO due to engine problems. I remember the staff being top notch and really accomodating and Marriott subsequently earned a share of my business. It was only in the nineties though that I became a regular with Marriott due to another Orlando property, the World Center Marriott.
