Pure conjecture!
I have changed one revenue reservation when my aircraft went MX and didn't depart until 24 hours later. Working with the property directly via chat (I was already checked-in), they graciously shortened my stay by one day and upgraded me to a Junior Suite with a 7:30 am check-in the following day with no Fees.
A second 2-night award stay, again already checked-in, was canceled without fee and my points returned when a delayed visa prevented boarding my flight.
Don't paint the entire Marriott portfolio with the St. Regis Aspen's brush! It makes you look just as bad.
