I'm at a property where the "honor bar" is served by an attendant...there aren't any glasses out, presumably to enforce this policy. And the hard liquor is offered in multiple serving sizes (at different prices) and is measured out in a jigger, so no "generous pours". How typical is this for Marriott "honor bars"? Typically I see true honor bars, where patrons can serve themselves, and I also have been heartily encouraged by most CL attendants to serve myself generously.

I think it's more the exception than the norm given the # of Marriott properties. It's also not exclusive to Marriott. I know of two Hiltons that have lounge attendants who serve vs. the patrons serving themselves (but I also think it's more the exception at Hiltons too).
Cheers.
