Compensation for deflagging properties

Second time this happened to me.

Booked a hotel on the Marriott site and a few weeks before the actual stay the hotel lets me know that they deflag. Luckily the stay is not canceled but gone are my Elite benefits and points.
The hotel was rather expensive and it's a 7-night stay. What frustrates me most is that we probably wouldn't have picked this hotel if it wouldn't be for the Marriott benefits and the points.... The location is not ideal and there were cheaper options.

By the time we were informed we could still cancel our stay but all other interesting hotels were fully booked or had become much more expensive.

So now we're stuck with an expensive hotel in a less than ideal location for which we won't get any benefits... (so far for loyalty... )

Did anybody manage to get some sort of compensation in scenarios like this?
