The whole thing sounds very confusing. We will see how it works in practice.
This is sooooooooooooo Marriott. From late checkouts options to upgrade possibilities to cancellation policies (the exact time) and more, write them as vague as possible so everyone is confused and hard line properties have an out when they say "sorry, it ain't happening". I used to think they hired english poor majors, now I believe the opposite is true on purpose...
