I believe that Marriott does offer a "spouse stays free" benefit however. The problem is some hotels don't get it - especially in the US and Canada. I play it safe and always book for 2 when travelling with my wife. On occasion the rate for one is lower, but $10 extra usually saves an argument at the front desk - especially if there's breakfast or lounge access involved.
