300 for 2 nights is possible. I stayed at the JW Marriott Essex House once for ~170 a night.

Marriott should own this. I'd complain to the NY Dept of Consumer Affairs.
Have been calling Bonvoy CS, agents are just misleading and even blatantly lying at times - they would claim the first price is for one night only and the second email is the total sum blablabla... All escalation attempts end with a case reference, which nobody actually follow up. Guy from RM was having none of my rationale - 15% discount or cancel, and they've been quoting the policy in Marriott with errors in systems and the like.
