You are right when you say that "standard" won't LNF/BRG against "standard with a view" since these two names are fairly dissimilar (and clearly state a difference).
please read my original post. It does not matter what the name is. What matters is whether the room offered on Marriott is the lowest room category the hotel offers ... then you can claim against a 'standard' room with a 3rd part even if the name does not sound similar at all. There are plenty of cases where the lowest room sold on Marriott.com is NOT the lowest room category in which case you are out of luck with LNF/BRG (I realize this was different w/ SPG).
