Also, FWIW, the brand I bought was Bergman Kelly. The shampoo has a light scent and the soap reminds me a bit of Ivory, which is a good thing. I'd love to buy some of those nice bars of soap that Hilton uses, but my guess is that they would cost a lot more.
Your post prompted me to search the Marriott forum and I found this thread:

AFAICT, it's for the lower rung brands of Marriott... like Fairfield and Courtyard... are you saying this is for all Marriott properties?
Four Points by Sheraton and Aloft (not sure which others in Starwood) also do dispensers, so this seems to be in line with that.
As for bringing my own - I do bring my own, but they are hotel ones I take with me, and I do so for "just in case" purposes, not necessarily for use at a property that has dispensers.
