Gary did just have another article where he semi-calls out Marriott
You woke Lucky up!!!!

As a side note, I don't believe the bloggers are getting compensation or free stays from Marriott ... haven't reviewed the FTC rules in a while but believe they wood need to disclose that, as they do regarding their credit cards. That being said, I'd be surprised if Lucky's ambassador didn't alert the properties that he stays at that he is a travel blogger which then leads them to give him their best upgrades ...
