You didn't have to wash all your clothes, and clean your car, to ensure no more bed bugs followed, etc. You didn't search in Marriott forum on what others got as fair compensation.

No, you are correct. None of this happened to me.

Nevertheless, this is the very definition of extortion. Give me what I demand or else I'll hurt you.
