Well, I understand his/her feelings, but 1) s/he doesn't have to look at the post, 2) all the initial secrecy has raised suspicion, and not unreasonably, IMO, as Kacee pointed out upthread. It has become more of a problem recently.

Assuming that it happened as you allege, I don't blame the hotel for replacing the item(s) where there are bodily fluids involved, particularly in the context of a "medical condition." Is it possible that there was also some leakage onto one of the sheets which you didn't notice, but housekeeping staff did when they stripped the bed?

If the $130 to replace the pillow and pillowcase is significantly more than the price at which you can purchase them from Marriott, seems to me that you have a legitimate complaint about that, which you should take up with hotel management.
