If I stay at another Marriott chain hotel on the weekend, would I be able to earn points and nights at both locations?
Also, talk to the Aloft GM when you arrive. If the hotel is nowhere near full for those weekend nights, s/he might just allow you to leave your stuff in the room and not charge you. Three weeks is a long stay, and GM will want you to return next time you're in the area.
