I’m not the only one that has noticed they are again violating Marriotts rules! We need some strict rules on the definition of a standard room available for award bookings.
Ive seen other hotels like the St Regis Maldives use breakfast to remove standard rooms from award inventory. Every property should be forced to have a certain amount of rooms available. Particularly after peak season pricing is implemented.
