Although I haven't had a newspaper at any Marriott's (including mid-week) at SFO Marriott, San Fran Marriott Marquis, LAX Ren, etc.
Marriott continues to cut back on Elite benefits. Why or why are they giving Gold for free to the millions of UA Premier Golds.
Oh good grief. The cutbacks on newspapers at the door started
years before Marriott started the program with United. Some properties still offer it, but others have them near the elevators or in the lobbies. This has nothing to do w/ Marriott & UA, but more about saving costs in general.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what the "standards" are supposed to be for a FS Marriott, but I doubt it is to deliver a paper to your door any longer (as I don't think it is for Hilton's or SPG elites either.)
But I do normally see papers in the lobbies. I'm at the Las Colinas Marriott right now and they even had the local Sunday paper this morning, but it wasn't delivered to my door.
Agree.
Cheers.
