Had the rate in dispute in this thread been something more possible (or believable) say $60 or something, I can imagine some people fell as if was a genuine sale and hotel should pony up. But $3 is clearly a mistaken fare for reasonable person, so I don't see why hotel franchise would honor that.
As for legal, I am not sure it is a formal contract or if it is really a "invitation to treat" situation when the price is shown on the website. I just dont see enough injustice that effected users would file a class lawsuit. And I don't see enough injustice for general public sympathy that it will rally public support for all the Marriott members that didn't get their $3 /night hotel.
