If the original poster sticks to the rules and isn't afraid to escalate to Marriott -- I assume he isn't a scammer -- then I'm confident Marriott will take his side and force the property to either honor the reservation or follow the rules by paying 90,000 points and $200 in compensation per night and booking "comparable" accommodation.
