Thanks for the info!
Based on what Sharon posted above on the merging of the two programs, you will only receive recognition of your status (kind of like when you book a Priceline stay).
"June 18, 2015 – February 2016. Marriott Rewards will complete necessary system upgrades with Delta Hotels and Resorts. Throughout this period, members of Marriott Rewards and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards®
will receive recognition benefits during their stays. Members will not earn points, miles or Elite night credits for stays." (emphasis added)
Not sure I would bother looking at Delta Hotels for an August stay this year unless the price is really low or your don't care about points or elite night credit!
