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.

If other hotels choose to lose money by not charging no shows thats on them. As an owner there is almost zero tolerance for lost revenue.
